We arrived to Ko Phi Phi (prounced pee pee) yesterday at 5pm via longtail boat. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing and breathtaking the 1.5 hr ride was. We started in Ao Nang and took a ride over to Railay. Railay is only accessable via boat and is a rock climbing paradise. (see pic, I didn't take this but just to give you and idea of what we saw, by the way the pic does not to any justice to the real deal). Rakhee and I were just speechless as we arrived. We sat in the ocean for about 30 min just staring at the rock formations and soaking in the surroundings. Then we took a 1 hr ride to Ko Phi Phi.
Ko Phi Phi was pretty much wiped out during the tsunami that hit 26 Dec 2004. There is still contruction going on here. It's hard to see the bay and imagine it pulling back about 200 yards and then coming in. There are signs of evacuation routes and emergency boxes everywhere. It seems as though the community is pretty strong here and pulled together to rebuild.
We're staying at the Phi Phi View Point Resort in a little bungalow that overlooks the ocean.. here's the site. http://www.phiphiviewpoint.com/
All, is well. Going rock climbing at 2pm! Can't wait.
Go Skins! 5-1 ?!!!
