Welcome to Phi Phi islands, Thailand !
Knowing it is an island popular for its marine activities, i just had to go there !
First off to get to Phi Phi Islands, you have to take a short a short 45-minute ferry journey from Phuket. Upon reaching my destination, i was taken aback upon those fine, white sandy beaches and breathtaking rock formations rising from the vivid turquoise waters that surrounded the islands.
Scuba Diving :
It was my first time ever scuba diving.. As my friends and i got in the water, small groups of shallow beach fish would surround us and follow us where we went at the start. However, when diving further away, Wrasse, parrot fish and the occasional grouper seemed to fill the seas. And to our surprise, the experienced divers of the island told us Leopard Sharks would often frequent around ! That however,did not prevent us from enjoying the marine life!
Below are a couple of pictures for you readers to have a feel of my experience!
Cliff Jumping :
From 6 to about 16m and a 'Hit' among tourists, Cliff Jumping is definitely not for the faint-hearted. As i can remember before i was about to jump, I WAS TOTALLY FRIGHTENED ! "What If.." and many other negative thoughts started kicking in my mind. Thankfully, there are people around to teach you a thing or two before and while jumping. Even though i do not have a video of myself jumping, i feel this video below is close enough.

The Beauty & Uniqueness of Phi Phi islands :
Even according to Phi Phi Phuket, it is quoted "Destinations this beautiful are often reserved for those that can pay dearly. That's not the case here; Phi Phi has something for every budget. You might be surprised – that perfect beachfront room costs less than you expect" I sincerely believe that is a fact as everything there is affordable and natural. Peaceful & laidback.
Here's a unique way of lifestyle :P
Finally a video to end off this beautiful adventure of Phi Phi Islands- Maya beach
