Everyone kept saying that we had to see Phi Phi (pronounced pee-pee) island before we continued north so we booked a day tour since staying overnight there is known to be quite expensive. Although it was damaged by the tsunami in2004, this is what my guidebook has to saw about this place: "If there was to be a contest for one of the planet's most jaw-dropping beauties, Ko Phi Phi would be a frontrunner. Stunning limestone cliffs, translucent water, fine white arcs of sand - Koh Phi Phi is so beautiful it will evoke tears. Shed a few more when you realize that you have to share it with every Speedo on the planet." The island was also made famous because it was used in the filming of the movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio.
We took a big ferry from Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi and then went in small, longtail boats to tour around the island. I was immediatliey impressed. The scenery was awesome with walls of rock that rose straight up from the pristine ocean and everywhere there were little coves, private beaches and caves. We visited some small coves for swimming and snorkeling and then stopped for lunch on the famous beach of the movie. It was easy to understand why there were people everywhere as the surroundings brought to life the term paradise.
After lunch we snorkeled some more and stopped at another remote island that was inhabitied entirely by friendly and mischevious monkeys who would steal anything they could get their hands on, especially food or fresh water.
Then we had time on our own to explore the main island. Sean and I hiked up to the viewpoint and were rewarded with an incredible panorama of islands, cliffs and beaches. After hiking back down we tried some pineapple and coconut smoothies and napped on the ferry back to Koh Lanta. Exploring islands is an exhausting business.
That is beautiful. I remember watching that movie and wondering where it was filmed.
