Phi phi islands


We made a 30 hour stop at phi phi islands from yesterday morning to mid day today. It was a big difference to Laanta island with lots of more people and more focus on bars and night life. We had a good day though starting with some easy hiking to se some nice view of the islands. In the afternoon we got on a 4h sunset cruise to do snorkling and kayaking around phi phi - monkey beach (no sight of monkeys though) and maya beach ("The beach"). The sunset we could enjoy wathing from the yacht while having a cold brew. Not bad at all. The evening we enjoyed walking around the shops and restaurangs close to the pier and we happend to come across this fireshow on the beach.

Today we did a bit of shopping and swimming before getting on the boat to Railay, small area around two beaches south of Krabi on the mainland. This is the last stop on our trip and we'll stay here two nights before we start heading back to Tokyo on Sunday around noon. So far we have only been walking around with our bags for 2 hours before we could find a place to stay but from now on should be fine. Right now enjoying an evening coffee at a nice beach bar, tomorrow morning scuba diving for the first time this trip.
