Phi Phi Island Thailand
Phi Phi Island: One of the most famous islands to visit in Thailand is Phi Phi and I was so excited to see it for myself. We spent our final night in Phi Phi Island Village Resort. From Phuket we headed for the Marina, the speed boat to Phi Phi takes an hour and the scenery on this speed boat trip was the best out of the whole trip. The approach to Phi Phi Island is amazing and as you get closer to the resort the water changes the colour to crystal clear turquoise it was incredible!
The warm turquoise waters of Thailand are at every beach, but Phi Phi Island just felt extra special. The resort is really nice, very tropical and each room was in the design of a tiki hut with a nice balcony. The spa is excellent, I treated myself to another Thai massage before our long flight home, this massage was better than Bangkok and the lady even French plated my hair, perfect for the plane journey!
Phi Phi Island has lots of water sports on offer, you can hike up to the famous view point which from the Village resort took about an hour, on certain months of the year you can visit Maya Bay which was made famous by the movie ‘The Beach’, it has since become one of the most popular tourist attractions in all of Thailand. I feel so lucky to have stayed on Phi Phi Island I loved it and recommend it for anyone to visit.
The local gypsy village is a short walk from the resort and if you are looking for a cool little spot to enjoy a few drinks, they have a small strip of tiki bars and local restaurants that you can enjoy.
I loved Thailand, it is somewhere I know I will return to again and again. My favourite places were the islands. The beaches in Thailand are on another level, amazing white sand and warm turquoise waters, you really do feel like you’re in paradise.
I would recommend Thailand to everyone, throughout my week I met travellers of all ages, families with young children, groups of friends and even a retired couple who loved it. It has so much to offer, the people are so friendly, the weather is always warm, and the food is great.
If you would like to speak about your travel plans for Thailand, I would love to hear from you, please get in touch anytime.
