Described as "epically beautiful" by Lonely Planet, Ko Phi Phi is a jewel in the Andaman Sea. Its limestone cliffs, crystal blue water, and stunning skies were used as the backdrop for the The Beach, the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The first day I booked two separate snorkeling/touring half day trips. In the morning I snorkeled at various locations on the main island. Ko Phi Phi Don, and then sailed through the smaller island, called Ko Phi Phi Ley. In the afternoon trip, I snorkeled some more and then walked along a jingle trail to famous Maya Bay.
The next few days were very relaxing: stayed in a beachside cabana, hung out with Canadians, Europians, and Aussies, kayaking, and chilling at the seaside restaurants and bars. Cliff diving on the last day was far from relaxing. I took a long boat with a group of New Yorkers to a site with 8, 10, 12, and 15m high jumps. Coming down from the tallest one literally took my breath away. Next stop: Rai Ley Beach at Krabi.
