I can't actually place where I took this photo but I'm thinking it's more likely Koh Phi Phi Ley than Koh Phi Phi Don, largely because the photos around it in my collection show all the hallmarks of having been taken from a moving small boat - horizons far from level! I think this image shows the vertical scale of the limestone outcrops that form these islands.

Here's another 'street' image I took on Koh Phi Phi Don. I was most likely wandering around the isthmus in search or food, or beer, or both. There use to be lots of shacks where you could get a good, cheap meal pretty much any time of day. Two locals walk along a trail in the early afternoon hours.

I took this shot while wandering across the isthmus between Ton Sai Bay and Loh Dalam Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don. The boy was completely oblivious to my presence, fully engaged in his activity. He wasn't going anywhere in particular, wasn't playing with anyone else, just having carefree fun running around.

If you're stuck in your office and it's grey/cold/wet or otherwise unpleasant or dull, then kick back and imagine you're on this beach with your favorite companions and favorite beverage! You can hear the waves rippling on the beach, smell the salt air, feel a light breeze - paradise!. This is a view of Loh Dalam Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don.

The normal method of transport if you want to go the Koh Phi Phi Ley or one of the remote beaches on Koh Phi Phi Don is to take a longtail boat - so called because of the long drive shaft to the propeller as clearly seen in this image. Not so sure I'd want to be the guy snorkeling in this in front of the boat - it's by no means evident that the boatman has seen him.

I spotted these fish from the jetty in Ton Sai Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don. What struck me was the one yellow-banded fish among this school of silver fish. Much as I looked around, I didn't see another one nearby.
