Thailand Part 3: Koh Phi Phi (Feb. 26-30, 2014)

Welcome to my 100th post!  On the 26th, we left Phuket and took a taxi to the pier.  Then we took a 2-hour ferry ride to Phi Phi Island and a 20 minute banana boat ride to our resort.  We stayed at Tohko Beach Resort for 5 nights.  We absolutely loved it!  However, it's not for everyone.  This place isn't a typical "resort" because there was no power from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.  And, there was no hot water available.  We knew all this going in and were really excited about it.

Like my other posts about our vacation, I'm not going to break this one up into days because every day was pretty much the same.  We went swimming in the ocean, laid out on the beach, took naps, read books, and ate.  Our beach was very rocky and had lots of corral so on the first night I hit my toe on a rock and half of my toenail came off.  That wasn't much fun, but everything else was pretty much perfect!

One of the days, we decided to take a boat ride around the Bays of Phi Phi.  We saw Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Cove, Viking Cave, Monkey Bay, and Maya Bay (where "The Beach" was partially filmed).  At one of the stops, we were able to get out of the boat and snorkel for a while.







Another day, we hiked up to "View Point" and got a few pictures.  Then we went snorkeling on our own beach.  Zach is now addicted and wants to go scuba diving.

We had 5 nights / 6 days of pure relaxation, sun, and good food.  It was a wonderful end to our Thailand vacation.
