Koh Phi Phi

While are traveling to Koh Phi Phi island was tough, staying there is pretty relaxing.  There is a main "beach" on the island called Tonsai which is where the ferry left us.  This is definitely the busiest area of the island and contains the most town-like atmosphere.  It is full of back packers and other travelers, souvenir shops, hotels and restaurants.  Our resort was up at Laem Tong beach which is at the northmost part of the island accessible only by longtail.  After the debacle when we arrived and realizing we could not get back for less that $40, we were not excited to go back to Tonsai.  So we stayed at Laem Tong beach the entire 2 and half days we were on Phi Phi.

Besides our resort (and a few others), there wasn't much to do.  Lay on the beach, swim at the pool, snorkel.... that was it.   Luckily we had gone into the trip knowing this stay would be pretty quiet, so I think we all enjoyed the down time.  Kasen LOVED the beach and was only happy when sand was covering 90% of her body.  She made quite a few sand angels even though she has never gotten the chance to make a snow one.  Here was the beach:

Nap on the beach - nothing better

There were a few swings along the beach.  Kasen did the pushing.

Kasen did get in, but she wasn't really a fan of the ocean

This was all Kasen wanted to do on the beach.  Best 219Bht ($7.34) spent yet!

One of the days we were there, Karl and John took a snorkel trip to a couple of the islands near Phi Phi.  Those picture next and a review of our underwater camera.
