We spent the last couple days on Phi Phi Island. It is supposed to have some of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand and I can say it does have some of the most beautiful beaches I have seen. Warm, crystal clear water, sandy beaches, limestone cliffs and lush greenery make it so.
We stayed at the Natural resort there. I had asked the travel agent who helped us book it if it was on the beach and I suppose it sorta was - but not "on on" the beach like I wanted it to be.
Anyway, the beach was super close and I enjoyed that the whole area was secluded by the fact that you needed to take two boats to get there.
There was a little restaurant where I had fresh barbeque squid, a ginger fried fish and a barbequed red snapper. Kim is feeling better so she had mussman curry and sweet and sour chicken. (She still hasn't got back to the hot stuff and won't be touching pad thai anytime soon).
I had bought a cheap snorkel and mask in Phuket, and Kim rented one from the hotel. We used the masks to look around the coral and chase some tropical fish - some reminicient of those in Finding Nemo.
Today we are in Krabi. We are planning on taking a really long 15 hour bus ride to Bangkok tomorrow. Most run over night, but we are going to try and take a day one so we don't have to sleep on the bus. Kim is sitting at the computer next to me trying to figure out where we will stay tomorrow night in Bangkok - maybe somewhere near the bus terminal because we'll need to use the bus again to head out to Cambodia.
