Ko Phi Phi Don and Ko Phi Phi Lei 30/1/2550

We took a 1.5 hour ferry ride to Ko Phi Phi Don for 370 Baht ($10) each. We found a room for 800 baht and setup a snorkel trip to Phi Phi Lei. Most people tour in groups for about 500-1000B, but we enjoyed the 1500B splurge on a private longtail boat. It was great seeing beaches and lagoons on the Phi Phi islands and our chauffeur provided a free extra hour.



Our first snorkling location had a lot of wave but better coral than the second spot.



We snorkeled at the beach where the movie "The Beach" was filmed. It was a really amazing spot and the cliffs of Phi Phi Lei are incredible!



The last stop was "Monkey Beach". There was a loud shrieking noise as we approached, and our driver said "monkey, monkey!!". "Really? That awful noise is a monkey?" I asked. As we got closer, we realized it was actually the sound of a young adolescent boy being chased by a monkey. I thought that was pretty funny -- until they chased after me! :)

The monkey's like to hangout with you as long as you don't mind sharing your food.
