My husband and I are simply in love with Phi Phi Island (Thailand). This year, our trip was specially calculated in such a way that we would get to this paradise on my husband's birthday. Even at home on the Internet chose the hotel "Arayaburi Resort". And they didn't regret it. The hotel consists of individual bungalows, each overlooking the sky-blue lagoon and the surrounding hills. Around the hotel area is a tropical forest with monkeys, colorful birds and other (non-dangerous) inhabitants of the jungle. And what silence there! Only the sound of the sea and the singing of birds! Petrol and diesel vehicles are prohibited on this island. Only bicycles. The island is not big: it can be sailed by boat in 2 hours.

Each bungalow consists of a large room with a shower and a huge veranda. It has sun loungers and chairs with a table. If you want, lie down, sunbathe, and if you want, you can drink the milk of a freshly fallen coconut at the table. The rooms are cleaned every day, leaving about 7 clean towels plus 2 for the beach, as well as various bathing accessories and drinking water. There is a kettle in the room. Sugar, cream, coffee and tea are brought in every day. The TV showed, it seems, 10 channels, but we rarely turned it on, because. spent all the time on the beach or in the pool when the tide was strong.


The beach and sea of ​ ​ Phi Phi is an endless topic. Anyone who has seen the movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio will understand. By the way, this movie was filmed just on this island. Whoever has not seen him, let him remember the Bounty advertisement. It is the same. The sand is white, clean, and if it gets wet, it crunches like snow. Palm trees are tall and well-groomed. And the sea is azure and moderately warm. If you go into the water up to the neck, you can see the toes.

The best beach in Phi Phi is Long Beach. The sea smoothly goes into the depths. The bottom is made of small corals and, which is nice, without stones. The sand on the beach is clean and white to such an extent that if you look for a long time, your eyes get tired of the brightness. Those who care for this beach provide free sunbeds and umbrellas, and if you overslept and the umbrellas are busy, you can always sit under the greenery. There is enough of it on this beach.

What was surprising was the ebb and flow. In the morning, where the water was waist-deep, in the evening you can play football. People take advantage of this and collect shells and corals at this time. Therefore, after 16.00 we went to the pool. It is very well located. Jungle around. Almost into the pool itself, bananas hang from palm trees and coconuts fall. And there are many orange flowers around: a bird of paradise. Really beautiful.

From the hotel to the "civilized center" is only 10 minutes on foot. There are many shops, Internet cafes, massage, diving clubs, discos and even a fitness center. Everything is relatively inexpensive. And if you buy fruits and marine life in the market yourself, then it generally costs a penny.

What can I add… Go there if you really need a rest! And if you also need a break from communicating with twins. On Phi Phi there are always no more than one or two Russian-speaking couples. At the same time, you will not be left without impressions that you have not experienced before! Thailand itself is beautiful and interesting, but this island is its most amazing gem! And the hotel "Arayaburi Resort" will give you complete comfort, while not limiting your unity with nature.

Give yourself pleasure! Live in paradise now.
