After and overnight slightly less than 5 hr from Mumbai to Bangkok, a 1.5 hr flight from Bangkok to Phuket, a 1.5 hr ferry to Koh Phi Phi and a 5 minute longtail boat transfer from ferry to shore... we were ready to be done with traveling and enjoy vacation. And holy shit. Koh Phi Phi is absolutely beautiful. The water is light blue, the greenery is GREEN and plush, the sands are soft, the trees are abundant in species and in quantity and they twist and turn amongst each other revealing the inspiration for the background of all fantasy-based Disney movies. We kept commenting on how it looked like Neverland or something from Pirates of the Caribbean. It is beyond me as to how SO many trees grew out of the tops of mountains that randomly jutted out the blue waters. Coral beds with sea urchins and clown fish were not even 200 yards from shore and in low tide, they became completely exposed to the fresh air. The island is extremely small. There are no taxis because there are hardly any roads. Taxis are in the form of longtail boats that transfer people around the island to whichever point they want to be.
