Thailand - Phuket - Things To Do In Phuket - Travel Advice

Rain or not, the south of Thailand is the heavenly setting that all who come to this country want to discover.
Phuket after Bangkok, the second most visited area in the country. It is bordered on the south by the Malaysian border, east to the Gulf of Thailand and west by the Andaman Sea. You can see spectacular landscapes that emulate paradise.

A few years ago, Phuket was the key target all Westerners and Thais who wanted to enjoy a few days in its crystalline waters and lush forests, causing a significant increase in all services it could offer.
Today, this island has to amusement parks for children. It is a good place for families who want to have everything at hand without too many complications.. As a result, the price of accommodation and restaurants is higher and some beaches are no longer solitary.

A couple of hours by boat from Phuket are the Phi Phi Island composed of Ko Phi Phi Don and Ko Phi Phi Leh, is smaller than the last. Has an area of 6.6 km2 however, is not allowed real estate speculation which has favored the preservation of its natural wealth. The caves occur throughout the island and look ancient paintings of elephants as a trace of the passage of the pirates, but the most spectacular is the Viking Cave to the Northwest.

Ko Phi Phi Don is a magnet for young travelers who come to the meridian of Thailand. With a particular shape and abundant vegetation, anyone can step on this island paradise dream.

One activity was to visit the cave of the diamond, it is a hollow island, which is accessed by browsing through a cave and within which there is a small swamp. All very beautiful and evocative, even if there were no tourists (just me, hehe), it would be a perfect place to get lost in reverie. Indeed, did not I think the best idea to take fardahuevos instead of shorts ... if when you do not have many lights, as there is nothing to do!

After this cave, we went to visit another island hollow, except that it had no mangroves in the interior, but a large marine lagoon.

Next stop a rock island with a famous pseudoflotante where they filmed scenes from the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. Leads you to various sites around the island and reach some vantage points from which to observe the visual spectacle of sea, greenery and sun. I could not suppress my instinct former swimmer and I ended up swimming to the base of the rock ...

Travel Advice - Places to Visit in Phi Phi Island

Maya bay -Maya Bay on Phi Phi Ley is an island on the southern island of Phi phi Don. The island is uninhabited and there are no accommodations available here most of the island just a lump of steep rocks and there is no plateau.

Maya bay is somewhat sheltered by two reef into large flanking the entrance, so no big waves that could touch the beautiful beaches. It's very nice scenery, clear water and blue green surrounded by towering cliffs.

Behind the beach there is only grass and wild plants and 50 meters "stuck" to the rock wall, so what we see in the movie The Beach was a hoax!!,.

Same Loh bay - Another bay on the PPL island

Viking Cape - Still in the PPL, a cave in the rock walls, as once used as a residence or place of pirate defense, the Viking sailors who once lived there. But it is unlikely that Viking sailors originated in mainland Denmark get there.

Monkey Beach - small beach at the PPD, which is inhabited by hundreds of monkeys

Ton Say Bay - Beautiful indeed with dozens of boats that dump the anchor with a row of the ITB on the beach.

Loh In Bay - The bay is only separated by 100 m wide inland from Ton say bay. Loh in this almost like Maya Bay but here is more crowded and "less secret". Beautiful scenery is only in the morning.

Yongkasem Bay - Another beautiful bay in the PPD, can be reached using a boat or ITB. But if you love a challenge can try kayaking. The right time for kayaking are in the morning when the sea was calm and the wind is not blowing too hard.

Long Beach - This beach is located on the south side of the PPD, 3 km in length can be reached by walk from Ton say bays or using ITB.

View Point - If you want to see PPD from high places and wait for the sun sinking in the west. We need to walk about 2 miles to reach this view point.

Food - Cuisine in the PPI is not much different from Phuket you will get a cheaper food from a small restaurant or roadside stalls, cost you about 60-120 baht for one serving Thai cuisine. If you want to nice seafood restaurants then, price is ranging 150-300 baht.

Another place to visit is Mosquito Island
