Phi Phi
Island is Thailand's island-superstar. It's been in the movies. It's the topic
of conversation for travelers all over Thailand. For some, it's the only reason
to touchdown in Phuket. Even with all the hype, it doesn't disappoint. Phi Phi's
beauty is a large chunk of the allure. The islands, when approached by boat,
rise from the sea like a fortress. Sheer cliffs tower overhead, then give way to
beach-fronted jungle. It's love at first sight |

The second
part of the why-we-love-this-place story is attitude: few places on the planet
are this laid-back. Of the two islands, one is completely free of human
inhabitants (Phi Phi Leh), and the other is without roads (Phi Phi Don). There's
no schedule, no hustle-and-bustle, no reason to be in a hurry.
