Swimming with sharks on Koh Phi Phi

Koh Phi Phi has been my favorite place so far in Thailand, it so small that there are no cars or scooters on the island and everything is much slower and calmer, especially coming from Patong beach. There’s so much to see and do around the island that we ended up staying for 3 nights instead of one and didn’t even get to the beaches until the third day.

The highlight of our time though, had to be swimming with sharks. There’s a coral patch not to far off the main island where black tip reef sharks like to hang out. We had to be out on the water at around 6 am before all the boats scared the sharks away. And it was well worth, in total we saw about 10 sharks, with the largest being about 2 meters big. Definitely an unreal experience.

We also did all the other things one does when on Phi Phi, like visit the smaller island were the movie the beach was filmed, and drank large amounts of booze from buckets at night….Well, see you later.
