Thailand Trip Part 2 Phi Phi Islands & Phang Nga
On Tuesday we set off for the famous Phi Phi Islands (where the movie The Beach was filmed).
We had a short pit stop in Malay Bay. It was beautiful but super crowded! No place to sit or lay out.
We had lot of time on the boat. Not good for a person who gets motion sickness. But I took medicine and brought lots of mints, gum, and ginger candy.
We did a little snorkeling off the boat.
The waters were such a beautiful but color!
We ended the trip on Bamboo Beach.
On Wednesday Adam wasn’t feeling well. It was our anniversary. Bummer. But I decided to go on the Stampin’ Up! outing and let him rest in our room. It was another boat trip! This time I decided to sit up front so I could watch the horizon.
We started with a kayak trip through some cool places close to some of the islands.
It was raining a little bit so I put on a lovely purple poncho.
We went through some cool caves.
Then we went to a Muslim village built into the side of an island on stilts.
There was a restaurant at the front and then we walked through the town to the school.
There is a cool story about this cement soccer field. Some boys at the school wanted to play soccer and originally built a field out of wood slats. They practiced hard and went to the semi-finals and almost won. This led to a sponsor that made them a cement soccer field.
Next we were whisked away to another island and enjoyed a buffet lunch under an awning of trees.
We had a little bit of beach time. I wonder if I can photoshop Adam into this photo.
We ended the evening by bringing some friends back to Pooh & Friends for another great dinner!
My new obsession is Mango sticky rice. SO yummy!!
Here we all are with the owner.
