The Beach...

Upon arrival in Thailand, I was ready to get my tan on! SO we picked one of the best places to do this, Ko Phi Phi island. In last years Tsunami, Phi Phi got hit pretty hard but they are working hard to clear the damage and its still mantained its reputation of being a popular and beautiful spot

first night stay
Phi Phi went from over 70 resorts before the Tsunami to a wopping 25 now.. accomidation was difficult to find, but for the first night we got to stay on the floor and in a hammock for less than 50 cents!
