Traveling Thailand {Ko Phi Phi}

Ko Phi PhiDay four in Thailand was mostly a travel day with the morning spent in Ao Nang and a long ferry ride over to Ko Phi Phi. We made it to the island for sunset, a bit of beach time, a late dinner and some island exploring. Getting off of the ferry, Ko Phi Phi was already very different than the main land of Krabi had been. It felt more touristy, yet still like we were in a different world. There are no cars on the island, and it’s made up of twisty and turny brick roads filled with people, shops, and carts. It took nearly our entire stay there just to feel like we knew our way around. While it didn’t feel quite as authentic as our stay in Ao Nang had, it was a cute island none the less and certainly had its own highlights. Small yellow flag garlands welcomed us above all of the main streets, the beaches were out of this world, and the tree house bars were really exciting.

{Day Five}
Our first full day in Ko Phi Phi we were, once again, determined to relax and enjoy the sun.  Goal accomplished; we even managed to squeeze in some beach side cocktails and snorkeling before dinner.  Can you say over achievers??

{Day Six}
This was our last day on Ko Phi Phi and was once again only a half day as we were going to be making our way to Phuket that afternoon. We had a great breakfast at our hotel before exploring the island and checking out all of the little shops. We even managed to hike up to the viewpoint at the edge of town. Potentially not the best idea on a sunny afternoon with temps in the high 80s and nothing but travel planned for the rest of the day…but hey, still worth it for the views. We made it back in time to relax for a bit and grab a smoothie in the tree house bar we had come across a couple of times. Then it was finally time to catch our ferry to Phuket for NYE.
