Day 17 Phi Phi

Noel and I got up for an early pickup at 7.00am for Phi Phi Island. Rob and Amanda decided not to come as they needed to do more shopping. We boarded the Phi Phi Island Cruiser and began the 2 hour Journey from Rassada Harbour. We were a bit worried about the weather as when we woke up it was raining but the seas were ok.


The boat took us past Phi Phi Lay(Maya Bay, Lohsa, Mah Bay Pileh Lagoon and Viking Cave). There was a ton of dive boats at Phi Phi Lay. Once we arrived at Phi Phi Don we boarded another boat to go snorkeling at Coral Bay. Even though it wasn't sunny the snorkeling was still really good. We saw heaps of fish including, parrot fish, trumpet fish, angle fish puffer fish, lots of reef fish and I was pleased to see lots of giant clams. After about 45 minutes we got back on the boat and headed to Phi Phi Don Pier and went for lunch at the Phi Phi Hotel which was included in our trip. The food was pretty good and there was lots of it, no complaints.


After lunch we walked around the lanes of Phi Phi Ton Sai Bay, so many dive shops I couldn't keep count. We stopped for a drink and enjoyed the atmosphere before heading back to the pier for the trip back to Phuket. The rain stayed away for most of the trip, we only got some slight spitting after lunch. 2 hours later we were back in Phuket and heading for the hotel for a nice hot shower.



Rest and relax for a while before Trivia Night at the hotel. We started the trivia night with dinner at the restaurant before the game began. We actually came equals third and our best round was actually music were we got nine out if ten. They had a tie breaker and the question was how many people survived the Titanic. We didn't really know and grappled between 475 and 725 and in the end picked 475 (wrong). In the end it was 705 and we came third the team who one picked 725, had we gone with that we would have had to have another tie breaker. The winning team won tickets to the magic show or Phi Phi Trip, second one massages at the spa and we won the days motorbike hire. We we see if we can change it to two bikes for one day tomorrow or massages.

A really fun night finished off a great day.
