Koh ‘Pee Pees’ Non-Stop Here. (Koh Phi Phi, Thailand)
We pulled up to Koh Phi Phi yesterday afternoon after a 1.5 hour sardine-packed speedboat ride across. Is it ever stunning, beautiful white beaches and dramatic limestone cliffs all around. Yet another (yawn!) paradise.
We set ourselves up on Hat Yao (Long Beach) overlooking the sister Koh Phi Phi Ley island, set of the movie ‘The Beach’. Everything seemed just right – sun, sand and surf – when a renegade cloud blew over the sister island from out of nowhere. I had just enough time to throw on my shorts and make a run for it before we were pounded with water… and so here we are, trying to cap our southern experience in style, admiring Phi Phi from tree to tree to awning to restaurant, walking gingerly and tripped over stray cats.
Truth be told, I’m getting a bit restless at heart and eager to move on and see other parts. Two weeks of sun has had its needed effect and now I’d like lose the holiday crowds (who are dressed far better than we are, as such, my ego is hurting) and see the essence of Thailand and Cambodia. If I have to have another ‘what islands have you been to and where are you going’ I’m going to have to add in outrageous details to amuse myself.
I’ve now named the ladyboy ‘shadyboy’ after catching another up to no good on the speedboat ride here… and so I’ll continue my sick fascination with them from a safe distance.
Chrissie and I are still doing a fabulous job at interpreting nearly everything spoken in opposite ways… we may come home with chunks of hair missing and gouges around the eyeballs, only to agree that it was the best experience ever and we have already a world trip in the works…
Saturatedly, Laura.
