14. Khao Lak - Koh Phi Phi

Leaving Koh Lak today, we booked a taxi to our pick up point before transferring into a van which drove all around Thailand before dropping us at the ferry port. It was supposed to be a 4 hour transfer, 6 hours later we get to ferry port before another 2 hours boat trip.. This was a shame as eating into our time at Phi Phi, but luckily me and Grace are one of the first to board. We ran upstairs to the sun deck as its always so relaxing looking out over the sea whilst we cruise slowly to our next stop. After we sailed into the beautiful bay and fought our way through 100s of people we found our guide who put us onto another boat, as it was low tide we had to walk with our luggage through the sea to our transfer boat. This was an adventure in itself with the laptop on my back, once we were boarded we sailed around the island, for the next 2 days we are staying on a quiet corner of the island. Its the most paradise Thailand can offer but also the most commercially tourist driven place also so was nice to be away from all the clubby beach bars on the main strip. We then transferred onto a moped with a little side car, this took us to our resort.
Our accommodation was nice so we settled in and then we headed out of town to a really recommended restaurant which was ran by a lady called Naan, the reviews said as a walk away from the shops no one visits. Wow this was the best food so far in Thailand, flavours were literally insane. After dinner we booked a private boat 4 hour tour for tomorrow £55 it was cheaper than doing an organised tour but shorter day. We can also choose where we spend our time. We are both so excited for this. Maya Bay is so far the most paradise we have ever found. We have an option tomorrow to visit the beach but its an extra £20 on top so we will see how busy it is tomorrow before deciding. Early night ready for tomorrows day out. Koh Phi PhiBaca selengkapnya
