THAILAND PHI PHI, PHUKET

3.Explore Phi Phi Islands

Approaching Phi Phi Dom 

As the Buddha Image fade out in the sea haze I look forward to stepping on an EPIC Island that I had been dreaming to Visit in over a decade. Being the peak season of February the crowd was overwhelming, young faces with their bags and eyes full of dreams to see the beautiful side of Planet Earth.

Instead of traveling to and fro from Krabi, I intend to stay on Phi Phi Dom for a week and cover more mysterious islands in the vicinity. After managing to find myself an Air-Conditioned HUT to beat the insane Humid temperature I lay in hammock writing.

Paying THB 1500 per day we managed to live in a organic house made of Bamboo and palm tree leaves, there are some 15 huts giving a tiny village feel, so I take a walk bare feet in the mix of sand and leaves I see a beautiful community with in this village a group of people drinking and singing in joyous melody, another set of people just sunbathing, few ladies keeping up with their reputation of gossiping and laughing over things we can only wonder off.


We three friends, decide to explore this little masterpiece of island so we hushed out of the village into a bustling pedestrian narrow lanes of Phi Phi Island, shops everywhere, all the things you may never use once you leave this island and people still grabbing them. After leaving the shops and crowd behind us we find ourselves in the serenity of the tropics with the noon sun shining hard we keep exploring the mountain side and across to find an exclusive beach to our self, while finding our way between narrow rocks and pebbles, I tumble upon a Box Jelly fish washed up on the shore, and this was my first sight of Gods magic, alas dead.

Now skipping few stones and mountain trekking we came by the Sea Side never seen before, so instead of waiting a minute longer we jumped into the Luke warm water and freshness of the sea water cleansing not just our bodies but mind as we swim deeper in the ocean blue with hard corals cutting our feet and fishes tickling us, with my waterproof camera I explore the underwater world and Yes! its the best thing eyes have ever seen & body has ever experienced.Raw Nature !!  

 
The biggest coincidence of my life is just about to shape up :: I was in My 9th grade may be when, Danny Boyle directed an Epic Movie called "The Beach " starring :: Leonard di-caprio :: the moment I first watch the movie I felt something inside me - something  that said I will be on that PARADISE ISLAND and the first seed of my travel journey was sowed in my heart :: this movie was released on 11th Feb'2000 :: and Yea exactly after 12 years of the release I shall be on this very island sharing the white sands and blue water between limestone caves and most blissful panoramic view of my life :: on 11th Feb'2012 :: AMEN !!
