On Tuesday, I actually left the Resort to take a day trip on a speed boat t0 Koh Phi Phi Island."Koh" means island in Thai and Phi Phi is pronounced "pee-pee". The islands are beautiful limestone karsts surrounded by warm blue waters. It is about an hour ride from the Royal Phuket Marina. I swam, snorkeled and took photos.
These islands have been the setting for several movies, notably "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio.
These islands were hit quite hard by the tsunami of Christmas 2004. They now have designated evacuation routes to reach higher ground in case it happens again.
We stopped at Koh Khai on the way back to the Phuket marina. It is a very small island that is a quiet day beach area 20 minutes off the coast.
The beach chairs and umbrellas are available at rent for a nominal price. And refreshments are available.
At the end of the day it is quiet and serene.
