Actually spelt Phi Phi, these tropical islands were featured in the movie The Beach. Arriving by ferry from Phuket we took a long tail boat around the island to our beach side bungalow. We are our own castaways in our tree house room with a mosquito net and the gentle crash of the waves right outside the window.
We spent our couple days sleeping, reading, snorkeling in the crystal aqua waters, and laying on the flour like sand. After diving we weren’t expecting too much from the snorkeling but were impressed on our morning trip to Phi Phi Ley, spotting lionfish, crown of thorns, and plenty of little Nemos. Another day we hiked up the 186 meter viewpoint to see the sand inlet between the turquoise seas that had been destroyed during the 2004 tsunami.
We didn’t want to leave our quite island oasis but the bustling nightlife of Phuket is waiting.

How many times a day, when you didn't feel like doing something, did you just say "Well Phuket"?
Look at how tan you are!!
