The Phuket Island Tours – Part 2 in Koh Phi Phi

On our last day in Phuket we took a ferry to Koh Phi Phi. Every one we talked to said this was a must see when in Phuket, but what we didn’t know is that its a place definitely worth staying for a few days.

Koh Phi Phi is very remote and it took about two hours to reach the island. Lucky for us we were able to sleep the whole way there. A combination of the heat, the ocean waves, and our spoiled selves not used to waking up at 6am allowed us to nap peacefully.

Once we got close to Koh Phi Phi the scenery looked very similar to what we’d seen on our caves tour, but with the sun out this time it was much greener.

Koh Phi Phi was one of the many places destroyed by the 2004 tsunami. From what we understood the whole island was devastated. They kept some of the wreckage in place as a reminder, but even without the wreckage it was hard not to think about what it must’ve been like.

We only had a few hours before the return ferry left so we played at the beach and ate and drank.

We’re glad we went to Koh Phi Phi. We only wish we had spent a few days here instead of a few hours. It would’ve been nice to stay in our own little bungalow, snorkel, and jungle trek…maybe next time.
