When you think of Thailand, you immediately think of Koh Phi Phi. The Phi Phi islands are mostly known from the film “The Beach” starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead character. Everybody knows the image of the pearly white beaches and the azure blue sea and that is why I at first thought reality would be a disappointment, but nothing is further from the truth.
From the moment you set foot ashore on the private beach of the Holiday Inn Resort, you literally feel like you entered paradise and that you landed in a photoshopped scenery. Believe me, the water is bluer than in the pictures and the beach is white as powder. The only thing you experience is the sound of the waves, the soft breeze that blows through the palm trees and the beautiful sounds of the tropical birds around you.
