Officially named Koh Phi Phi Don, this is a set of 2 small islands about and hour's ferry trip west of Phuket Town in the Andaman Bay. These two islands were completely devastated by the Tsunami 4 years ago - much has been rebuilt so it all has a newer feel than the rest of Thailand, the crowd is much younger and there is a conspicuous absence of dirty old men looking for young Thai ladies of leisure. Although the weather has been fowl again! for the reasons mentioned above, this has been my favorite part of Thailand by far. We only had 2 days in Phi Phi but if the urge ever grabs us to come back one day, this cute little piece of paradise will be high up on the list.
Our last day in Thailand was spent touring the islands around Koh Hong. The sublime scenery that greeted us in this nature reserve is best known as the scene of the ‘baddies’ den in the 1974 Bond movie, “the Man with the golden Gun” - Because we’ve been starving our faithful followers with a lack of visual material of our last few weeks we thought it best to limit the written mumbo jumbo about Koh Hong and put in some photo’s for a change. Mostly because I’m lazy but, also because I think the omniscient guy upstairs seems to have been reading our blog too. As if knowing that it was our last day of the 29000mile adventure, he parted the gloomy clouds for one last day and provided us with blue skies and a day to truly remember in Thailand.
