  • Where is everybody? Koh Phi Phi feels very, very empty. We were starting to wonder if we made the right decision to come here right now. Until we met ChaCha.

    Koh Phi Phi is a beautiful place this time of year. Due to COVID, Koh Phi Phi is quite empty, which is very unusual. It's really difficult to see Koh Phi Phi like this, after having been there so many times. Usually, Koh Phi Phi is filled with people partying and having fun with the fire dancers on the beach, but now most things are closed. The ferry from Phuket to Koh Phi Phi is not very long but it is very beautiful. Koh Phi Phi is a paradise, but it definitely still recovering from COVID.

    I love Koh Phi Phi - my favourite island in Thailand along with Koh Lipe in the deep south. I have done day trips to Koh Phi Phi from Phuket and Ao Nang in Krabi and also stayed there for 3 nights on another trip to Thailand

    Hey Josh, you seemed to have traveled everywhere. Where you 10 years old when you started travelling? I am lucky I got 2 weeks vacation..LOL! You are adventurous, I would never go there. It doesn't look too inviting and way too many cats walking around. Your video of Singapore looked really nice. Glad you are both enjoying yourselves!!! Safe travels.

    • @LisaAndJosh
      @LisaAndJosh  2 года назад

      lol i wish i was 10 when i started traveling!! for the past 8 years or so, i worked a year, saved up, and then traveled a year. this is the 4th trip around the world for me, so i guess i've been some places, and i'm also crazy lucky to be able to do this.
      Phi Phi was super inviting for us, but I totally get that it's not for everyone :) Singapore is BEAUTIFUL and the food and the people and everything... definitely a wonderful place. Thanks so much for the nice comment and for watching!!

      i think it will probably recover, but definitely will not be the same. that's not necessarily a bad thing... just... different.

    Maya Bay is still closed to the public. Hopefully stays that way for preservation. Try and get a boat ride to mosquito Island nearby. Last time I was there jumped out the boat for a swim, cut my foot on coral and got infected afterwards. There's reef sharks around also that I saw while in the water below me. Boat guy said no problem they're safe. I was back in the boat very swiftly. 😆

    • @mcmoose64
      @mcmoose64 2 года назад

      I was there mid December and Maya Bay was open to boats but "The Beach" was still off limits . We snorkelled there for about an hour , our third snorkelling stop of the day , and to be honest , the most disappointing. The visibility was poor , and the coral and number of fish nowhere near as plentiful as we had seen earlier on the other side of the island.
      The week after we left it was announced that the famous Maya Bay beach was reopening to limited numbers of boats per day . If our experience was anything to go by , I wouldn't bother .
