Krabi and Phi Phi Don Island Thailand

From Krabi it is a short fast boat hop to our next stop being Phi Phi Island.
It is a popular diving spot and a haunt for the under 30s set. Mum if you have a daughter do not let her come here. OK be warned!

The deal the bus picks us up and takes us across the peninsular to the terminal. All good on the ferry loaded with back packers. The ferry is a single hull aircraft style seating 3 and 2. The crew is very particular as to how they load the boat. Packs get loaded in the bow and people distributed over the length of the boat. Some of the adrenline charged travellers do not like being told where to sit and it is a bit strained.



Phi Phi Island Beach
 Phi Phi Don Island at about 12 noon, easy journey. Book in time for a swim. The tide is full. Phi Phi Don had been devastated by the 2004 Tsunami. The afternoon we set out after a sleep to explore and have a beer. We found the markers where the wave came - 5 metres high.
