Phi-phi island which also known as Leonardo DiCaprio Island is the star of Thailand for tourism. It wasn't the love at first sight for me, i was hoping for more. It was raining like a thunderstorm, all of our bags were wet and we got to wear a plastic coat inside the cruise, gosh!! The sea color change to dark, and sandy, lost its glory shinny blue. Most activities was canceled due to bad weather, ooohh really i needed the sun to say hello, I didn't care if I got my skin burned.

Finally when the rain stopped, we went for snorkeling and canoeing. Then the cruise stop in Phi-phi Harbor and we immediately had our lunch. We decided to have our own visit to Maya Bay by renting a river boat and maybe we could also explore other islands around Phi-Phi. it was raining again after lunch, so we just sat in the cafe and came with an idea to extend our stay in Phi-Phi. Then we set up a river boat to go to Maya Bay and other beaches tomorrow morning. So there we met Mr. Potato who was very nice yet crazy, he offered us with several drugs (omg :)) like ecstasy, buddha stick and ice, wow wow wow, easy... better we skip this part :)

That evening we actually wanna saw the Tsunami Village but on the way there we didn't find anything interested in the village so going up to the View Point was another great option. two of my dear friend, Tisa & Puri gave up not even quater journey to reach the View Point 1, but that time we were free to make own decision anyway. It might be a good decision to save more energy, BUT not the right decision hehehe.

| here we are :) |
So only Didit, Frans and Me left, I gotta do it and keep moving up. Finally, not only View Point 1 but we reached out the View Point 2, amazing view. We were blown away by the beauty of two beach that separated by a line of sandy dazzling land and from where we were standing, we can also saw two huge mountains and the sun was peeking behind the mountain ready to fall and change the day into night, wonderful moment.

| Loh Dalam Bay (on the way to view point) |
The next morning went directly to Maya Bay and we were the first visitor to that Island. The Maya Bay is a famously known as the place that The Beach movie where taken. It was heavenly blast, a very quiet morning, the sand are so white and soft, the water is so calm and blue aaarrggghhh lovely beach, exactly like what I have in mind. We spend over three hours; joking, making a short video, swimming and laughing like we owned the place until the time that other groups of May Bay tour came and packed this beautiful beach with people looking the same excitement faces like us. But we were just so lucky to own that beach on only us for couple of hours.

After Maya Bay got packed, we continued exploring other beaches to Loh Moo Dee Beach, Virgin Beach, Phi-Phi Lay, and Monkey Beach. It was very fun getaway with a very cool friends and rows of moments we spent together; silly, funny, drank, whoohooo. I will definitely be back here someday.
