phi phi island trip
I am back, after few days off from our Phuket trip. It was great and relaxing before we start again the busy schedule.
Yes we went to phuket, but I would like to write my blog about phi phi island first.
Me and my hubby love to go vacation in the island. we both love beach, sunbathing and snorkling. And Phi phi don is one of the best place to be.
Its small island about 1.5 hrs by normal cruise from Phuket. Along the way we can see the main island called phi phi don rest with many small island including Bida Nok, Bida Noi, and Bamboo Island, are not much more than large limestone rocks jutting out of the sea in the Indian ocean.
The trip is pretty rough with unforgiven wave because of the moonsoon season. It was raining a lil bit though, make the ship a bit bumpy and scary.
Before we landed to the mainland, we went to snorkling in Maya Bay, we can see lotsa of "bulu babi", colorful fish and coral. But the coral was a bit damaged because of the previous Tsunami.
Talking about Tsunami, either Phuket or Phi Phi, they are 100% recovered. And it was amazing how fast they recovered as the disaster never happend before.
After snorkling we land to Phi Phi Don, and we have sea food lunch, then sightseeing in the Island about 2 hrs.
We love hanging around in the beach and shopping in the small stalls. But too bad we didnt go to the viking cave where the swalow bird come from Siberia every year to make their nest and produce the very expensive bird nest. And we also miss for shark watching too.
Btw, one day trip to Phi Phi is a bit limited to explore the whole island and the activity. We plan for next trip we will stay there for few days for diving.
Now I can imagine how leonardo De Caprio in "The beach" movie called the place heaven on earth.. It is indeed. When I watched the movie I never imagine I will visit that place, I am glad I have the chance to visit. It was a great memory captured in my mind
To be continue for another story of our Phuket trip…
