The Beach. Phi Phi Islands & Beyond
There's no question of doubt that I
am an Island girl.
I love the idea of Island life - as remote,
wonderful and simple it is. (I grew up watching Channel 4s Shipwrecked
through my teens, enough said).
When planning our trip to Thailand, I
was drawn towards Phi Phi Islands - the infamous home of the most glorious Islands
between Phuket and mainland Thailand, aka The Beach film set, where Tilda and
Leo made it all look so wildly effortless in the year 2000.
We took a day, jumped on a boat trip
and headed towards the tropics.
I wore my favourite multi-colour
clothing all at once and embraced being able to enter the clear waters - fully
dressed.
One day I will be a mermaid
(that is for sure)...
My one and only disappointment was
the pure volume of crowds. This place was popular, hella popular. The
beaches were crowded and it all was a little overbearing at times.
I definitely in every instance felt
compelled to visit Phi Phi, but my heart pines for the remote, quieter, secret,
less populated...
There is no denying that these
Islands provide a beautiful back drop, a walk on a very memorable film set and
a small token of Island life.
It certainly is worth a visit for that alone.
