On your trip take some ear plugs
with you, the longtail boats are extremely noisy because they have
no muffler and during night people are often very loud.
Buy ear plugs
at a pharmacy in Phuket Town, take the
silicon earplugs. Thailand is often very loud and noisy because no
one cares about others.
Its a nightmare if you sit in the longtail boat for some hours and
have this deafening noise around, the boatmen are already half deaf
anyway.
See the Phi Phi clip here
The limestone beach-fringed formations are set amid warm,
emerald seas and other islands are around to explore.
Actually already when you approach
with the Phi Phi ferry from Phuket you get a good overview.
Beside of Phuket the Islands
are the top destinations in the Phang Nga Bay and off
Krabi mainland area.
Naturally there are some other beaches on the
mainland of Krabi Province but not one of them has the great image of
Koh Phi Phi.
As a simple matter of fact it was the movie "the Beach" with
Leonardo Di Caprio which catapulted Phi
Phi Islands
into the limelight.
If you want to find great views and timeless relaxation the Phi Phi
Islands are for sure the right place.
For the adventurous who seek
an hotel island retreat, maybe with some scuba diving adventure with all comfort and
service it could also be the right place.
On the other hand it could
also get pretty boring after a while.
If you get bored in your Phi Phi
island hotels take the ferry back to Phuket, possible every day.
Phi Phi Islands are just a few of the many archipelagos in the Phang
Nga Bay a little bit more in the north and all the way down to the
Malaysian border.
One of the best archipelago almost totally off the crowd trek is the
Trang archipelago.
A real great Island world with excellent accommodation
and easy access. |
