Morning (and sunshine!) came to Phi Phi island at 6:30, and Steve and I met the group for the buffet breakfast served at the Bay View resort. Everyone was in high spirits, ready for another day of diving. The breakfast was pretty good, too. We headed out to sea, and I basked/napped in the sun on the top deck. One minute I was lying there thinking, Boy is it hot! and then next minute I was being pelted with rain, scrambling to take cover under the canopy with the others! Oh well, the sun was n...

Gleich in der Früh habe ich meine Tickets zur Weiterreise besorgt, eines für das Boot nach Krabi und eines für den Bus von dort nach Kuala Lumpur. Heute wollte ich eigentlich einen entspannenden Strandbadetag machen, denn soetwas hatte ich seit Beginn meiner Reise nicht wirklich. Leider hat mir das Wetter einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht, denn es war reichlich bewölkt. Trotzdem habe ich mich am Vormittag an den Strand gelegt. Der feine weiße Sand sieht zwar toll aus, ist aber ziem...

These shots were taken using a disposable underwater camera. I have now purchased a decent underwater camera and hope to publish some good shots after our next trip to Phi Phi in Feb 2008.

At 8 am, the long tail appeared on the shore...with our backpacks we hopped in and went straight to town to meet the other snorkelers :))) Before, we checked in Banyan Village hotel...ok, we wanted to splurge a little bit...and maybe get some quiet sleep...Last night we could hardly fall asleep with all the lizards around the room... and the noises...!maybe i was a little frightned...hahaha...:) so we decided to get a little comfort .. and no lizards around.. We headed to the pier, grabed o...

We were dizzy at the first glimpse of the scenery on our first visit to the beach in Phi Phi.  This place was nothing like Puket.  The average age was closer to 25 and the amount of over tanned tight bodies with perky pleasantries out for the world to see was truly overwhelming.  We had no choice but to pay for a beach recliner and take a seat to allow our minds to soak in the reality of this heavenly place. We were only planning on staying on the stunningly beautiful and expe...

Phi Phi Islands (pronounced PP) is small islands near Phuket. You can see them by daily tours, but I suggest to stay there.

Today I went out on a long-tailed boat for a tour around Koh Phi Phi.  Phi Phi (pronounced pee-pee, I know kids....funny.) is quite easily the most beautiful place I have ever seen.  It's as though God grabbed Yosemite and Monument Valley, and filled them halfway full with warm, tropical water. Throw in some jungle foliage, and a lot of good looking girls and you have my very favorite place.I took off for the tour at around 11:00.  We first went to an uninhabited island i...

One of the best things about traveling for me is I end up places I would never planned on and see things I did not expect.  I do not think I have ever traveled and not had a couple of good surprises on my trip.  This was one of those days.This fun day actaully started the day before as Benny and I were walking near our hotel in Karon Beach.  We wandered down this side street looking for a place for lunch and we came across one of the many travel agents that this island province...

2 relaxing weeks in Thailand. I stayed in Patong Beach with its exciting night-life. Beach was not the best you can find in Thailand, noise because of jet-ski and para sailing, etc... Trips to Phi Phi Islands, and Similan Islands are memorable , there you'll find peaceful white sandy beaches with clear water.

Una aventura de 18 dias repartidos entre Chiang Mai, Phuket, Camboya para visitar Angkor Wat, y Bangkok, donde pase nochevieja. Una experiencia inolvidable.

Thailand is as good a place as any to start uploading some pictures of my travels. These were taken from trips in August & September 2005 and most recently in August 2007. Enjoy!

I wake up at 7u30 am to have breakfast. Luckily, it is a lot better that the dinner I had last night, and the dining area is almost full this time. I've been looking forward to today for a very long time, as I wrote in my introduction. Phi Phi is what -years ago- made me decide to see the beautiful world that is outside of Belgium, and therefor a trip that I couldn't possibly put off any longer. Normally beaches and islands are not really what I travel the world for, but this is something els...
