15. Koh Phi Phi

Weather looks really promising today, hopefully a day of sun after nearly two weeks 😂.
We were up early, out of our room and covered in sun cream by 845 this morning! We are off on a private boat tour around Phi Phi Leh.
After a quick lift down the dirt track on the moped cart, we hopped onto our long boat for the morning.
The first stop was at Maya beach ( the beach in the famous film, "The Beach"), it was so beautiful but so crowded with tourists. We did have the option of walking onto the beach for an additional 20 quid, but it just looked like chaos! So we decided to jump into the sea for a snorkel instead.
We saw so many colorful fish, including : rainbow fish, angel fish, sharks, puffa fish and the infamous trigger fish.
Back onto the boat to head to our next stop, Pileh bay, just around the other side of the island. Before we got into the bay we stopped and snorkeled for a good while too, James even managed to spot about 8 young baby sharks!
Our next stop was viking cave, before crossing the big bay and stopping for one last snorkel at Monkey Bay. As you know we don't like monkeys, so we had a snorkel and enjoyed a section of the beach with no monkeys, it was so nice here with the trees overhanging the sea.
After such a fun morning, we grabbed some lunch and a very cold beer before sitting on one of the local beaches for a while. We then went back to our room to pack and get sorted for our move tomorrow to the other side of the island.
We both had such an amazing time today, but all the snorkeling in the sea with the sun has meant we have got a bit sunburnt on our backs- good job we remembered the after sun ☀️ typical brits, first bit of sun 😂.Read more
