Day 10 - Phi Phi Island

Day 10 was a little over halfway thru the trip and yet we still had so much to see and do.  We had booked for a tour of phi phi island (google it, seriously, its amazing) for the day.  I had looked up pics of the place before we got there, but pics do not do this amazing island justice.  The views of it are magical.

Phi Phi island really is 2 small islands that are about a 20 min boat ride apart.  There is the bigger phi phi island which has hotels, restaurants, stores, roads, basically you can tell people have been there.  Then there is the smaller phi phi island which has nothing built on the island.  No hotels, no visitor center, no McDonalds, nothing.  It has been purposely left this way, which was amazing to see in a country that has been so effected by tourism.

After we took the boat tour around the island we went snorkeling near the bigger island.  It was pretty amazing and had a great time doing it.  I of course wore a life jacket to protect myself from the sun.

Anyway, Phi Phi island might be one of the most amazing views we had while on the trip.
