This place is just paradise. Paradise for tourists and paradise for local residents because the first exactly here will be enjoyed from a wonderful rest, the second is constant earnings :). We chose Phi-Phi Island because familiar a year ago traveled a trip and shared their impressions with us in all colors! Initially decided to stay at the hotel, and not in the bungalow, since there are translators, and love guides, and every day an excursion is organized not only in the island, but for the country (for those who want, of course). For ten days, the happiness of your stay on this block of Paradise never left the island, although they sailed off the shores. But it was done only in order to get to another site all the same island. A couple of times and on foot took place along the trails, but to move along these mountain paths, you need to have an unprecedented skill :). The whole "civilization" here is located on a narrow coherence and is supposed so that in some way it covers hotels from the wind on both sides. In the coves where the beaches are located, always cozy!
From the excursions I liked it, and I remember that that was given to us with her husband harder everything! Here is one of the local shrines. So it is located high in the mountains and it is necessary to go through an unprecedented distance "Up" - as much as 1237 meters! These kilometers with the "tail" were given to me very difficult, even though the paths are well-groomed and the places are even laid out by something like the browse. But landscapes that managed to get enough, they were exactly drunk and made the journey much more pleasant. On the top we were waiting for the OGRO-oh-oh-oh-ohm statue! There were little people here - probably, the distance and the height of tourists were blocked :)
One of the peculiarities of the stay at Phi Phi is to move the possibility of often on the "water taxi". Its view of something resembles the ancient chelny - also sharply and not quite similar to European. We chose them and in order to join the local flavor. But it is possible to ride here and on the usual motor boat. Taxi drivers "Park" closer to the hotel or a village with bungalows, where tourists are doing. And I must say that if you see a few such boats - you can safely bargain, moving from one carrier to another! There is no concept of professional solidarity :) For example, we managed to reduce the price of the service even by 30%.
But to eat here are prepared very tasty, but very sharp! It is necessary to warn the waiter, and the retailers of street food to give a non-stamped version. In almost every dish, Chile dates here! We were alive and "duet" asked: "No Spicy" No Spicy)! Fish here also season so acutely, that even the "gentle" option for the European will be "busting". But we often ordered something like a goulash, but with rice macaroni instead of potatoes. Youth is extraordinary! So and the food managed to enjoy how the purest sea and gold soft sand, and a pleasant atmosphere at the hotel.
Lovely vacation! I want to come here again. Now we understand our acquaintances when they say that Phi-phi is the fulfillment of dreams!
