My second and last day on Phi Phi Island, another rainy start of the day
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4294_DxO_result.jpg)
I book a trip on one of these boats that are so common here
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4298_DxO_result.jpg)
The islands rise up almost vertically out of the ocean, the boat takes us from Ko Phi Phi Don to Ko Phi Phe Lee

Close to Ko Phi Phi Lee here

Admittedly it is a beautiful bay
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4346_DxO_7_DxO_8_DxOContrastOptimizer_9B_result.jpg)
A little walk to the east side of the island ends here, we’ll be there by boat later anyway

MA YA BAY

Looks like mangroves to me, maybe they are?
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4386_DxO_result.jpg)
There’s even a toilet here
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4402_DxO_3_DxO_4_DxOFusionNatural_9C_result.jpg)
And of course offerings for Buddha

It’s stupidly busy on the beach
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4424_DxO_result.jpg)
The boat I’m on, there’s maybe 5 customers, definitely low season
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4441_DxO_result.jpg)
But it’s a cool way to be transported around here, these Thai boats
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4450_DxO_result.jpg)
We visit all these little nooks on the west side of Ko Phi Phi Lee
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4456_DxO_result.jpg)
This dude was on the boat as well

Emerald green water
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4492_DxO_result.jpg)
Not sure what the deal was here, looks like people live here?
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4503_DxO_result.jpg)
This is where everyone gets in to the water with some food for the fish that swim right up to you
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4516_DxO_result.jpg)
No idea what kind of monkeys these are
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4526_DxO_result.jpg)
But they’re cute
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4534_DxO_result.jpg)
They’ll drink anything you give them (not me giving the monkey this can though)
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4537_DxO_result.jpg)
Om nom nom
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4543_DxO_result.jpg)
I would think that’s male… that’s gotta hurt I reckon
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4550_DxO_result.jpg)
A mum with her babies
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4560_DxO_result.jpg)
She takes good care of them
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4569_DxO_result.jpg)
Peanuts galore
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4584_DxO_result.jpg)
What a life!
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4592_DxO_result.jpg)
Every day people come to see you and throw food at you, could be worse!
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4601_DxO_result.jpg)
Not a bat
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4618_DxO_result.jpg)
This made me laugh so hard, some tourist just shoving their GoPro right up the monkey’s face, would love to see that footage
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4635_DxO_result.jpg)
Eye contact
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4639_DxO_result.jpg)
Water melon is another favourite
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4652_DxO_result.jpg)
Cute
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4687_DxO_result.jpg)
They know exactly how to handle a water bottle
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4714_DxO_5_DxO_6_DxOContrastOptimizer_3A_result.jpg)
Back on land, I decide to go for a little walk before I have to leave again, this is somewhere along Tonsai Beach Road
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4723_DxO_4_DxO_5_DxOContrastOptimizer_3A_result.jpg)
One of the many little shops here
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4754_DxO_result.jpg)
And I’m heading back to Phuket
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5D3_4821_DxO_result.jpg)
Almost back at Rassada Pier
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/IMG_3424_DxO_result.jpg)
Almost back at my accomodation, you see electric wires everywhere, I feel sorry for whoever needs to fix it if there’s a problem
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/IMG_3431_DxO_result.jpg)
My favourite Thai dish: Massaman Curry
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/IMG_3438_DxO_result.jpg)
At my favourite restaurant, mostly locals eat here, hardly any tourists, that means fantastic authentic food for cheap
And a little video
That place looks like a paradise – save for the masses on the beach.
The trees look like a mangrove but I think they’d normally have way more aerial roots .
I think the super cute monkeys are macaques
