What a Ride!

Since leaving the beauty of Khoa Sok it's been a whirl wind! My free and easy group and I headed to Kho Phi Phi a huge party beach island- if you wanna party on the beach and like house music, this place is bumping! It's the island of bikes and cats according to our leaders haha

I unfortunately missed out on most of Kho Phi Phi :( I got super sick on a sunset boat tour and was hoping all it was was motion sickness- turned into a 5 day back and forth shit show :( it's so hard to get back on top once you've hit bottom. Hydration packets were my life saver but I didn't find those until Railay. Being sick with no A/C = hell and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I couldn't even eat

Buuuuuuut I did manage to struggle out of my room long enough to make the hike to the viewpoint at sunset :) GORGEOUS!! The sites here are phenomenal! And I got a BAMBOO TATTOO! Yeeeeah buddy :) it says "Travel" in Thai :) i got it on my wrist and I love love it!!!! :) After that I was dead to the world again

Unfortunately Kho Phi phi beaches were full of garbage :( those are the things about tourism which break my heart. I like to believe this industry is providing jobs and opening eyes of the people of the world( if people are willing) but when I see the destruction we tourists cause it's tough to swallow...


RAILAY!!

Our last island destination with Free and Easy! Probably my favourite island spot. Much less busy with clean and gorgeous beaches- total opposite of Kho Phi Phi
There are no vehicles there just hotels/bungalows, little restaurants and the awesomest thing ever- boat stands!! They aren't allowed to build stands on the beaches so vendors built boats and sell food from the water

We got to hit up a Muay Thai fight!! These guys are fast! The winner ended up at the bar we partied at that night where one of my group members got up close and personal! Only in Thailand!! Again some crazy party nights happened in Railay providing you were feeling up for it! Many peeps got sick in Railey which was tough.

Building memories!!!! :)
