Today I’m going to the Phi Phi<\/a> Islands<\/a>! 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<\/a> Terminal<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Once on the boat to Phi Phi Islands the sun comes out<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

It’s not very busy on the boat<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Getting close now, some big clouds in the sky<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The very typical shape of so many Thai islands<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I doubt anyone has ever walked on those ridges<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lots of these typical Thai boats carrying tourists around<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Approaching Ton Sai Pier<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Ton Sai Beach<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Ton Sai Pier seen from Ton Sai Beach<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

By villa for the evening, cheapest I could find, I’m only there to sleep so why pay a lot?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Of course I want to see the sunset so I make the walk to Viewpoint 2<\/a>, here you can clearly see the narrow strip of land connects the two mountaines parts of this island<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Big fruits hanging in the trees here, I wonder if these are those stinky ones<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Still a while to go before the sun sets<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I’m not the only one who had the great idea of going here this evening<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

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<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The sun is about to set<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Bye! See you tomorrow!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And it’s gone…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Still beautiful colours in the sky<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

With the sun below the horizon there’s still plenty of light to take some photos of the viewpoint<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

They really put some effort into making the place look nice<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lots of lights start to come on<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

It’s time to discover the night life, it looks fantastic and cozy here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But there aren’t exactly a lot of people<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And that’s a shame because it sure looks lovely here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Someone preparing to give a show<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Swirling around fiery things, which seems to be what they do here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Some members of the public are asked to participate<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But what I’ll remember mostly is how loud the music is, how awesome the bars look…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

…but how empty they are. Maybe it’s just not high season here at the moment<\/p><\/div>\n
