Phi Phi Island

On our fourth day in Krabi, we visited what is probably one of the world's most picturesque beaches, Maya Beach on Koh Phi Phi Leh. Getting there required a hideous two-hour ferry ride (they made us sit on the ferry for a full hour in the stifling heat before we set off) followed by a short long-tail boat ride.

Maya Beach was the setting for the movie The Beach, filmed in 2000, and it still very much looks like it could be a movie set. It is absolutely amazing. We had to pay 200 baht per person just to be there, and we were only allowed to stay for two hours. It was so surreally beautiful that all of the people there, ourselves included, took pictures more or less continuously. Looking back at the pictures now, it's hard to believe we were really there.
