Phi Phi Islands

Pronounced pee pee this is a chain of six limestone islands raising about five hundred feet out of the ocean, each with a rain forest on top. Sandy beaches are tucked away at places. There are no cars only walking streets and just a handful of motorbikes. The medical clinic does have golf carts.

Phi Phi’s infrastructure was wiped out by a tsunami in 2004. Much of what is built now is built on top of the rubble so it’s beautiful and also not so beautiful as much of the trashy rubble is still around.

We learned that as long as the is air moving we could stay cool, but an air-conditioned room is a must! We learned that the hard way. Walking is treacherous with dips, humps, holes and uneven steps to navigate. We saw many people with bandages and on the stretchers being taken to the clinic.
