Koh Phi Phi

10 februari 2023 - Koh Phi Phi, Thailand

By the ferry to Koh Phi Phi I meet Jana, and German girl that I meet with diving in Koh Lanta. Her hostel was not far from mine and she was also in for walking to the viewpoints  and snorkeling. We dropped the backpacks by the hostels and went up to the viewpoints. It was really hot but the view was amazing. Maybe it was not the best time of the day for hiking! Koh Phi Phi has many stunning beaches and we went to long beach. There is also sharkpoint and we asked a dive school if we good leave out stuff there and went snorkeling to sharkpoint. It was amazing, so many big sharks and some little ones!! We had a nice chat with a Spanish couple that was working at the dive school where we could leave our stuff. They said the best for diving is a day trip from khoa lak, main land Thailand, because the dives on Phi phi would be more or less the same as the dives from Koh Lanta. And the best time for manta's and whalesharks is around full moon.  Unfortunately with my planning and visa it will not be possible to be there with full moon but I still want to go diving there. 

My hostel was in the party place by the beach so my hours sleep where not much. I slept every night there with earplugs but still I could here the music. 

The next day we rented a kayak and went to some nice beaches and snorkel places with the kayak. Our last beach with the kayak was monkey beach, see the pictures from the monkeys on the beach! The water there was amazing clear and the view was so so beautiful 😍.  Was with the kayaks we could hear the party already from very far. There was a poolparty by my hostel and there we could get rid of the salt and he sand. We had one beer and decided to have a look by a other beach by the pier because the music was too loud, it was so difficult to talk. We had a look at the beach and went back to town. That beach was not that beautiful compared with the other beaches that we had been to. We had an very nice evening with in a bar with live music. This morning we checked out by our hostels and went snorkeling again by sharkpoint. Jana bought a plastic cover for her phone and has maked photos and videos by sharkpoint with her phone!! It was very nice to snorkel there again with the sharks. 

Now I am on the ferry to Krabi, where I rent with Jana a room for three nights. Nice to have our own space and bathroom again after two nights in bunk beds! 

Will update you soon again!!!
