Koh Phi Phi Don, Thailand

After spending a week on Phuket that was intended to be spent on smaller, more idyllic Koh Phi Phi Don, I finally boarded a ferry toward Maya Bay, aka The Beach.  The first person I spoke with, before the ferry even left, was Josie from Canada, and her friend Catherine.

In addition to the company of two attractive French Canadians, I also had the chance to meet Nate, a fellow travel blogger (Ubertramp.com) who was working in a dive shop on the island.

For an island that was devastate by the massive tsunami, it was hard to tell so much destruction had occurred.  I know it wasn’t easy, but it was clear that locals and expats alike were quick to try and put the pieces back together again.
