My second and last day on Phi Phi Island, another rainy start of the day<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I book a trip on one of these boats that are so common here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The islands rise up almost vertically out of the ocean, the boat takes us from Ko Phi Phi Don to Ko Phi Phe Lee<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Close to Ko Phi Phi Lee here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And that’s Maya<\/a> Bay<\/a>, famous from that<\/strong><\/a> movie<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Admittedly it is a beautiful bay<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A little walk to the east side of the island ends here, we’ll be there by boat later anyway<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

MA YA BAY<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Looks like mangroves to me, maybe they are?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

There’s even a toilet here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And of course offerings for Buddha<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

It’s stupidly busy on the beach<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The boat I’m on, there’s maybe 5 customers, definitely low season<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But it’s a cool way to be transported around here, these Thai boats<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We visit all these little nooks on the west side of Ko Phi Phi Lee<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This dude was on the boat as well<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Emerald green water<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Not sure what the deal was here, looks like people live here?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This is where everyone gets in to the water with some food for the fish that swim right up to you<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This is on Monkey<\/a> Beach<\/a>, on Ko Phi Phi Don where the boat made an obligatory stop<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

No idea what kind of monkeys these are<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But they’re cute<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

They’ll drink anything you give them (not me giving the monkey this can though)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Om nom nom<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I would think that’s male… that’s gotta hurt I reckon<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A mum with her babies<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

She takes good care of them<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Peanuts galore<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

What a life!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Every day people come to see you and throw food at you, could be worse!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Not a bat<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This made me laugh so hard, some tourist just shoving their GoPro right up the monkey’s face, would love to see that footage<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Eye contact<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Water melon is another favourite<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

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

\"\"

They know exactly how to handle a water bottle<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Back on land, I decide to go for a little walk before I have to leave again, this is somewhere along Tonsai Beach Road<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

One of the many little shops here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And I’m heading back to Phuket<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Almost back at Rassada Pier<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Almost back at my accomodation, you see electric wires everywhere, I feel sorry for whoever needs to fix it if there’s a problem<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

My favourite Thai dish: Massaman Curry<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

At my favourite restaurant, mostly locals eat here, hardly any tourists, that means fantastic authentic food for cheap<\/p><\/div>\n
