We were so excited to meet Chris and Collin in Bangkok. We had been planning their trip to meet us forever and it was so exciting the day they arrived. We spent only one night in Bangkok, which I am glad we did. That city is huge and crowded, anymore time there and we all would have went crazy. It took so long to get anywhere with all the traffic jams. But we had a great day wondering the city and treated ourselves to a fun cocktail at a fancy rooftop bar. So fancy, Justin had to borrow a pair of slacks and shoes from the bar and Chris had to wear a table cloth around her shorts in order to have a skirt on. Wow, we did not really know about the dress code! We were a tad out of our league.
The next day we flew to Phuket to take the ferry to Koh Phi Phi. Koh Phi Phi is truly a paradise, it is so beautiful. It was raining the day we arrived but we really lucked out the next day and had sunshine! Koh Phi Phi is really great because there are no cars and with it being so small it was super easy to get around. We ended up staying at different hotels. We stayed in this little hut close to the beach.
Long Beach
Justin and his yummy fish dinner!
Walking back from Long beach.
We all have developed an addiction to mango shakes. They are so GOOD! In fact, I am sipping on one as I write this! ;)
We took a day snorkeling trip on the next island over. We did not expect sun but we were all pleasantly surprised by a lovely day!
Snorkeling
There were tons and tons of fish. Our guide tossed a bunch of pineapple in the water and the fish went wild, it was pretty cool!
Enjoying some delicious pineapple.
Soaking up our day of sunshine and boy oh boy did we soak it up. I was red as a lobster the next day as was everyone.
Our last stop for the day was monkey island. They just chill out down on the beach. They warned us that they can be quit mean so we kept our distance but you would not believe some of the tourists nerve, sitting right down beside them.
Apparently they like soda.
Just like a mini human, so strange.
We are so thankful we left the day we did and were actually able to get out. I believe our ferry was the last one out for a few days. It was so stormy and just dumping buckets of rain down. We wanted to take the 1:30 ferry but after boarding they moved us over to the 2:30 ferry as the 1:30 ferry was too small. I am so glad they moved us, even on the bigger ferry it was a really rough ride, so rough they were passing out plastic bags and plenty of people were using them. Yuck! People were also putting on their life jackets. It was a bit scary but we made it safe and sound.
We all loved Koh Phi Phi. Even with the rain we had a blast. We ended up playing lots of hearts and BS.
