Phi Phi Leh, Paradise on earth

This island, as this youtube video, based on the the movie "The Beach" which was filmed here, says: "Somewhere on this planet... there must exist... a place... an experience... an encounter... that changes everything... I found it...". Its true its a place that changes a lot, the way you feel, the way you look at nature...

Phi Phi Leh is really an amazing place. Due to the fact that its a national park it is uninhabited and thus somehow protected. The beaches are white, clean and undisturbed, all surrounded by huge limestone rocks which are so full of vegetation, that one can't help to ask: where to these plants grow from??? its all rock!!!



We hired a longtail boat from Phi Phi Don and visited this little island.
Our favorite was the little, less known romantic Pileh Bay, where we enjoyed almost perfect privacy and peace:



We did some snorkeling in Koh Samah, sinking into marine live that one would think only exists in an aquarium.

Then we headed for the most well known beach in the area, the Maya Bay, which was the setting for the above mentioned movie with Leo DiCaprio:



This is where the sunset began, which meant we had to leave, again a difficult thing to do :-(
