Scuba Diving on Phi Phi

After our night in paradise we returned to Phi Phi Viewpoint Hotel. This was one of the few undamaged hotels on this side of the island because it was on a hill. It had a beautiful view of the bay and a cool outdoor shower.
One of our main reasons to go to Phi Phi was to try scuba diving. Eager to go, we got our wet suit and gear on and jumped in. Little scary at first but soon got the hang of it with the help of our French guide, Jean. We saw some beautiful tropical fish (nemo) and lots of coral. We loved diving now we just wish our ears would clear of the water. We can't wait to do it again in Australia. We will be in Australia in 2 days, Sept. 14th.

Phi Phi Island Village Resort

We treated ourselves to one night of paradise on the other side of phi phi island which was undamaged by the tsunami. We arrived by longtail boat, received our free complimentary pina colada and where whisked away by a golf cart to our bungalow. Opening the french doors to our bungalow was like entering fantasy island. With a king size bed, a bowl sink in the bathroom, flowers everywhere (even in the toilet), a complimentary fruit bowl and large open deck with lounge chairs this was just what we needed after our difficult travels. Once again the beach was undiscribably beautiful. The pool was large with its own waterslide and swim up bar.
The sunset and moonlit dinner gave it a very romantic feel. We truly loved it and next time we will stay much longer.

Koh Phi Phi Island not Go Pee Pee Island

We took yet another boat over to Phi Phi Island which is a pair of islands off of Phuket. It was severely damaged by the tsunami and trying hard to rebuild. Areas where there were hotels now there are none, but what still can be seen are some of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. The water was crystal clear and stunningly blue. The sand is soft and white.
