When Ene, Kairit and I travelled to the Andaman Coast, we didn't make it to the Phi Phi archipelago. I was not at all disappointed but did think that I would like to go there one day. And one day has arrived.
Last Sunday, I woke up in Bangkok and went to the Chatuchak Weekend Market - something I really enjoyed doing. In the evening, I started another journey to the Andaman Coast but, this time, I took the train. And what a great idea this was for it provided me with the opportunity to lie down and get some sleep. It was particularly gratifying to wake up in the morning and see the pink colours of the sunrise, misty grass around palmtrees and impressive limestone rocks.
Today the time came to go snorkelling around Koh Phi Phi. I was pretty excited about it and, now that I think of it, I could have tried to annoy people by singing "We're going Phi Phi!".
The day trip started in Bamboo Island, where we swam in turquoise waters after having walked in a white sanded beach. We then moved on to the Phi-Phi archipelago and paid a visit to Maya Bay. As soon as I stepped out of the boat and my feet touched the wet sand, I felt as if I was walking on marshmallows. Cool!
After lunch, we went snorkelling and what a beautiful experience it was. I was lucky enough to see a shark but I didn't think like that at the time - somehow I was too busy getting out of the water! I know that there are harmless sharks out there but the fact that they are excellent swimmers plus the fact that they might just be having a bad day like the rest of us make me feel restless when I am swimming with them.
As we headed back to Ao Nang, I was definitely happy to have been in one of the world's most beautiful spots. And a lot more tanned.
