Getting to Phi Phi


And here is more of the story of our trip to Phi Phi Island. We got on a speed boat at a port in Phuket (another island here in Thailand). We took the speedboat for about an hour and then we came a lone dock and up a small hill was debris and some houselike buildings. We weren't sure what was happening. We thought, surely we are staying here (See second picture)! (there's no beach, only rocks). So, our boat driver called somone and told us that they were coming to get us. We look and coming up over the hill is the truck shown in picture #2. We all laughed, as you realize quickly in Thaliand, things are not as you expect them to be! And, yes, dear reader, this was our trasportation to our hotel....which was on the other side of the hill and absolutely beautiful.
The third picture is of the family climbing the steps off the dock onto a bridge type structure.
And the last pic is the truck. It took about 5 seconds for it to get into gear once the guy changed gears...it was really great! Classic Thai!!!
