The Phi Phi Island tour offered us a full range of things to see, snorkeling and lunch at a quaint restaurant. Phi Phi was all but destroyed in the Tsunami and has since been rebuilt and there are signs now posted about evacuation procedures should another Tsunami hit. It is part of the Marine National Park and boosts some of the best diving sites in all of Thailand. We set out on a speed boat with about 15 other people. The water was a deep green - blue and the island formations in the water were magnificent. We stopped to do some snorkeling, which was a first for Allison and Kristin. The waters were warm and crystal clear and the fish abundant. We then visited Maya Bay which was a beautiful swimming spot and the site was used for the filming of the movie "The Beach". Next came Monkey Bay, a deserted beach area full of monkeys. Everyone had food to give to the monkeys and they definitely knew it was for them. They were very willing to take the food and entertain the crowds. We ended up the morning at Phi Phi Island itself for lunch at a beach side restaurant. The food was delicious and there was always fresh pineapple served, which was sweeter than any we have ever tasted. It was then back into the clear waters for some swimming and snorkeling. We finished up our day pool/beach side watching a beautiful sunset. We all really enjoyed the sites, swimming and snorkeling so much that the girls were hooked and wanted to snorkel more on day 2!
