Phi Phi Don - Thailand
The Place: Arriving on Phi Phi Island is like discovering paradise island! It has by far the most amazing beaches I've ever laid eyes on. I think I spent the first hour saying 'Wow' and then just staring at the view.
Some features: The ferry ride from phuket was awesome, you got to see the Phi Phi archipelego sticking up out of the blue ocean like toes out of bath water. Phi Phi is rustic, laid back, surrounded by bamboo huts, beach sand roads, palm trees and full of young tourists - no dodgy old men with thai ladies! It's an island for books on the beach, kayaking in the sea, wading in the shallow warm water and cocktails on the beach.
Slightly on the different side: Though the vibe is rustic and relaxed, there are a few bars, one of which offers the chance for tourists to try there hand at Muay thai. Low and behold, Anneli got challenged by a canadian tourist. She accepted the challenge and heh heh what a fight!! It was brilliant and Anneli beat the crap out of the unsuspecting challenger! (It was all safe though - they wore head protection and all) Anyway bets were made and the crowds were well entertained!
