Island Hopping

Today we took a speed boat excursion to the Phi Phi Islands, a series of islands that are designated as a marine national park. The islands are made up of high rock walls, turquoise lagoons and powdery sand beaches. We enjoyed the beaches, tried some snorkeling, and had a great time with our Thai guides on the boat. Highlights included Monkey Beach, home to a group of not-to-wild monkeys, and our "radical" (North's words) return trip which had us launching our 50-ft speed boat off of the ocean swells.
