Fishies in Thailand

Here are some pictures from our snorkeling in Koh Phi Phi.

Ying and Yang!

pipe fish

The captain threw some bread in the water and the tiger fish had a frenzy. It was almost scary to have so many fish around you.

An Ali fish.

Jim having fun with the fishies.

Unknown fishie

A giant clam encased in the coral. 

A pair of bat fish.

A sea snake - turns out they are very poisonous, but their mouth is not big enough to bite you… well other than your fingers. Otherwise they would be trouble.

A porcupine fish that looks like a puppy.

Welcome to Thailand

We left Langkawi and arrived in Thailand at Koh Lipe, a national park, after a quick day sail.

Thailand is everything you imagined and more. Ali posing at beautiful Koh Lipe.

There were lots of hermit crabs so we started some races. Ali has a knack for picking winners!

  

We hiked around the island and had the idea of hiring a long tail boat like this one.

But first we had to hike back to the center of town. The steps were super steep and the railing was not always there.

This is long tail boat central where we hired our boat.

Ali posing on a beautiful beach. This is the island where “The Beach” was filmed. Haven’t seen the movie though.

Beautiful cliffs surround the islands.

Omar the Merman! Of course we went snorkeling and there are plenty of pictures of fishes, but I saved that for the next post.
