Friday Flashback – Maya Bay and the Koh Phi Phi Islands

Koh Phi Phi Don, Thailand

Koh Phi Phi Don, Thailand

After spending a week on Phuket that was intended to be spent on smaller, more idyllic Koh Phi Phi Don, I finally boarded a ferry toward Maya Bay, aka The Beach.  The first person I spoke with, before the ferry even left, was Josie from Canada, and her friend Catherine.

In addition to the company of two attractive French Canadians, I also had the chance to meet Nate, a fellow travel blogger (Ubertramp.com) who was working in a dive shop on the island.

For an island that was devastate by the massive tsunami, it was hard to tell so much destruction had occurred.  I know it wasn't easy, but it was clear that locals and expats alike were quick to try and put the pieces back together again.

Next on the itinerary, an impromptu trip to Ko Tao with my new Canadian friends.

Michael - good catch on the "beach party" banner. I like that it shows up well in the photo too.
