Phi Phi is a fantastic little island off the coast of Phuket in southern Thailand. It can be reached by a 2 hour ferry ride from Phuket. Phi Phi is known for its party vibe and laid back feel. If you are not in for a party stint and really just want to take in the beauty of this beautiful island then one of the many beach resorts around the coast of the island is the place to stay. These are between 10 – 20 minutes by long-tail boat away from Phi Phi centre. The centre itself is a hub of activity, people, bars, restaurants and for some reason, lots of tattoo shops! If you choose to stay at one of the beach resorts along the coast, you’ll really feel like you’re on a deserted island - it’s beautiful and peaceful. These resorts have the ocean at their front door and the mountain and forest at their back door. A trek through the forest could take you anything between 2 and 5 hours...and can be quite treacherous at times. There are quite a few good view points so climbing the mountain is definitely worth it.
The food in Thailand is delicious to say the least and eating at the same place everyday won’t mean the same boring food. We ate at our resort’s restaurant 3 times a day and enjoyed every meal. Local Thai dishes cooked by a family run restaurant – not much more we could have asked for.
