Thailand: Krabi Island Paradise...

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts...” - Rachel Carson

(Speed boats racing each other)

It was fun to go for island hopping from Krabi to Ko Phi Phi on a speed boat instead of on the local long-tailed boat. While you get the wind in your hair and enjoy the thrill of the fast speed, one has to be careful not to sit in front of the boat as the sea water can be quite choppy and you can bounce about roughly and get injured easily.

Ko Phi Phi is considered to be one of the most naturally beautiful islands in the world. They lie 50 km southeast of Phuket and are part of Had Nopparatta - Ko Phi Phi National Park which is home to an abundance of corals and amazing marine life. There are limestone mountains with cliffs, caves and long white sandy beaches. The islands are surrounded by the Andaman Sea.

While on our island hopping trip to Ko Phi Phi we stopped at Ko Phi Phi Don for lunch at the resort’s restaurant. The island is considered to be the largest and most populated of the six islands of Phi Phi.
