It was the Southeast Asia I imagined.
Ric and I celebrated Easter this past year, cruising around Koh Phi Phi. It was one of the most perfect days on our trip. One we didn’t spend deciphering where to go next or gushing over future travel plans.
No, this day belonged completely to Ko Phi Phi. Take a look through some of our photos from that one day and you’ll understand why.
Our first stop was Monkey Beach where crowds of tourists feed monkeys living there, things they probably shouldn't eat. Photo by Bobbi Lee Hitchon
We spent a lot of time on a tiny long-tail boat cruising through islands in the area, stopping occasionally to snorkel. Photo by Bobbi Lee Hitchon
The best part about the day was how relaxed it was. Everything was planned from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and it only costs about $10, so no stress over spending too much. Photo by Richard Hackey.
The trip felt even more authentic on a long-tail boat. Here's one at Bamboo Beach, where we had lunch and swam. Photo by Bobbi Lee Hitchon
Maya Bay is the highlight of any Ko Phi Phi tour, but I preferred Pileh Cove, which is also on Ko Phi Phi Ley. It was gorgeous and not bombarded by people. Photo by Bobbi Lee Hitchon
The limestone rocks of Ko Phi Phi are what make it so special. It was especially gorgeous to see at sunset. Photo by Bobbi Lee Hitchon
There's just something about a Thai sunset. Photo by Bobbi Lee Hitchon
