Koh Phi Phi - 2nd time

This is Maya Beach, where 'The Beach' was filmed.  Don't remember it being this busy in the film though..

We went on an excursion round Phi Phi and a few smaller islands near it.

We got a little burnt, despite suncream.  Prob cos we were in the sea snorkling every hour or so when we stopped

This is Phi Phi Leh, on the other side of the island to 'The Beach' beach

Viking Cave on Phi Phi Leh.  The bamboo ladders and such are there as they climb high into the cavernous inside to get birds for bird ness soup - or something like that.  Apparently popular in China and Asia and very expensive

When you were in the water, if you went still, the fish would come up to you and nibble at your skin.  If people on the boat threw in food near you, they'd go in a frenzy all around you.  Never seen anything like it, it was amazing

Maya Beach again, the view as you enter the bay

As in a lot of South Thailand, huge limestone cliffs dominate the scenery in 3 directions

We took a photo whilst a rare moment occurred when we didn't have a 100 people round us

The hut in the background is a snack bar where everything is at least two and half times more than anything else

If you could forget everyoneelse there; beautiful!

We feel like we actually know Leonardo now...

I thought I saw him at one point and took this picture.  Too say I was disappointed........

The sand is whiter than most, similar to cement dust it's so fine

You couldn't swim to the boats as you'd likely get mowed down by a passing longtail boat taking the people from the bigger boats to to beach
