A Sweet Escape to Phi Phi Islands
This trip to Phi Phi Islands was absolutely delightful.
This was my second visit to Phi Phi, and I was impressed with the accommodation from the very first time. This time, it was just as amazing, if not even better 🫶🏻
We booked a sea-view room again because it’s absolutely worth it. The price is reasonable, and the view is priceless as always. Waking up in the morning, sitting on the balcony, and sipping coffee felt like a dream. The hotel’s boat was parked right in front of our room, offering stunning views of the mountains and the sea. But the highlight was the sunset view from the balcony 🥹
We booked a 3-hour island tour with the hotel. The waves were strong that day, but the boat and the driver were incredibly determined. Despite the conditions, the driver managed to find great viewpoints and stopped at islands for us to swim and see the coral reefs 🏝️🐠🐟
On the last day before heading back, we went up to the Phi Phi Island viewpoint together (a little tip: be prepared because the trail is quite steep and your legs will ache 😹). The view from the second viewpoint was beyond dreamy—absolutely stunning. However, the shops at the top are almost three times more expensive than those at the bottom of the island. It’s a good idea to bring your own supplies before starting the hike.
Overall, this trip was fantastic and sweet as can be. Our go-to restaurant was Garlic, which has amazing dishes. My favorite is Khao Soi (a Northern-style curry dish served at a Southern restaurant, and it’s absolutely incredible). If we return, we’ll definitely revisit everything we loved 💝
