Today I’m going to the Phi Phi Islands! Not for diving near the islands but to actually stay on them. They day has a very rainy start though. This is the Rassada Pier Terminal

Once on the boat to Phi Phi Islands the sun comes out

It’s not very busy on the boat

Getting close now, some big clouds in the sky

The very typical shape of so many Thai islands

I doubt anyone has ever walked on those ridges

Lots of these typical Thai boats carrying tourists around

Approaching Ton Sai Pier

Ton Sai Beach

By villa for the evening, cheapest I could find, I’m only there to sleep so why pay a lot?

Of course I want to see the sunset so I make the walk to Viewpoint 2, here you can clearly see the narrow strip of land connects the two mountaines parts of this island

Big fruits hanging in the trees here, I wonder if these are those stinky ones

Still a while to go before the sun sets

I’m not the only one who had the great idea of going here this evening

So the island I’m currently on is called Ko Phi Phi Don, the other island in the distance and to the left is Ko Phi Phi Lee

The sun is about to set

Bye! See you tomorrow!

And it’s gone…

Still beautiful colours in the sky

With the sun below the horizon there’s still plenty of light to take some photos of the viewpoint

They really put some effort into making the place look nice

Lots of lights start to come on

It’s time to discover the night life, it looks fantastic and cozy here

But there aren’t exactly a lot of people

And that’s a shame because it sure looks lovely here

Someone preparing to give a show

Swirling around fiery things, which seems to be what they do here

Some members of the public are asked to participate

But what I’ll remember mostly is how loud the music is, how awesome the bars look…

…but how empty they are. Maybe it’s just not high season here at the moment
