Mr. Gabi: Congratulations to you for your new remarkable video released this week to shows these remarkable beaches around Phi Phi, Krabi & Maya Bay, Thailand with your lovely mother on a two weeks vacation with you on these great beaches & restaurants in March of 2023❤❤❤

[@billmoeller8897]

Yes, was on Phi Phi back in 1998. Different world back then before the movie The Beach came out. Glad I experienced back then. Way too many people for me now. We went to Maya Bay, think there only 4 long-tail boats in the bay. That was paradise.

[@katjaxxx7353]

Wow. So jealous.

[@kathrynosullivan2743]

I stayed there in early ‘99. So different and over crowded now. Glad I had the chance to go back then.

Awesome Gabi, we have just arrived in Krabi and will be spending a week in Krabi and a week in Phi Phi, so looking forward to it

[@jamesnelson2279]

How did you find it, is it worth going?

[@sun_s9067]

When I went there in Dec 2021, Maya Bay was still closed and there were about 5 boats in Pileh Lagoon. It was so nice so clean so private but I felt for the locals. Coming out of Covid, you could see how thankful they felt seeing tourists coming back.

[@eduardochavacano]

Krabi is so beautiful. Its nice to see it so alive again. Great video, very enticing.

[@JohnDoe-Alien]

Looks so nice there as always. shame about the restrictions at Maya bay but they had to do something. Funny to see MacDonald's and burger king on phi phi - that used to be such a budget backpacker island and now the big corporations made it in there.

[@sunrisejak2709]

Stunning work. The Tourism Authority of Thailand should honor you!

[@Serionlv]

Wow! I went to Phi Phi island in 1999 I think and it was so peaceful. I stayed in a little bungalow room right on Phi Phi Don. There were a few rustic places to eat and a few resorts. I snorkeld in the bays with a few other boats. I'm glad to watch the video but now honestly I never want to go back. I'll hang on to my memories. But I would return to Krabi and Phuket as I did in 2009. I love Thailand ❤

So cool you took your mom! Great video, magical experience. I was there during lockdowns, I didn't stop traveling and that was fun. I was worried when the tourists were back it would be too crowded but it doesn't look like it at all. The private boat was such a great move. Great video.

Hello another South African here. We were in Phuket last year October and went to Phi Phi on a day trip by speedboat

[@nanmyamarlaroo1703]

Your video reminded me of my visit to PP island in Dec 2022. It’s bring back all the sweet memories I have enjoyed. Thanks for the great video 🎉

[@waynesmith1971]

I went wo Phuket for the whole of October in 2011 and I also went on a day trip to Phi Phi island while I was there and it was spectacular and as beautiful as it looks in this video. When I visited in 2011 they still allowed the tourist boats to pull into Maya Bay but I think the new system is much better - it was overrun with tourists and I contributed to that so I completely understand why you now have to reach the island around the back of Maya Bay. This place really is paradise so I understand why so many tourists want to visit, I was a tourist too and I would recommend it to everyone but there's a balance to strike between the much needed tourism which Thailand relies on so heavily and the delicate ecosystem and biodiversity of the islands - I think with the new system they have got that balance right. Thanks for posting this video, it bought back a lot of happy memories for me.

[@Tex_Symbol69]

You can see how much is developed from those drone shots over phi phi island . I was there in 2001 , it looks very different now

[@RetiringToAsia]

Super video and nice suggestion to hit the beach early before the crowds arrive. So peaceful if you get there first.

[@brianj6762]

I visited back in 2015. It wasn't too crowded but I stayed at a hotel on the opposite side from the village and it could only be reached by boat provided by the hotel. You could hike over the mountain to the village which I did, but the trail through the jungle was poorly marked and that made it quite an adventure. The hotel boat also provided transport back and forth to the village for free. The hotel featured bamboo huts built on stilts over the beach. You could hear the tide coming in beneath the bamboo floors. It was US$45 per night for peace, quiet, privacy and delicious food prepared by the family who owned and operated the hotel. The hotel also took us to Maya Bay in their own Thai longboat.

I had the best times of my life in Kho Phi Phi in the eighties. Funnily life took me far away after that. I started going back South Thailand last year and I visited first the island indeed. It's not the same for sure 🙂

[@farangdownunder4724]

koh Phi Phi has developed a lot over the years. Ive only been once back in 1991 and even then it was pretty busy I remember catching a small ship over from Phukhet and it was totally full of tourists. I'm pretty sure there was no accommodation on the island in those days and only local Thai shops and restaurants - very cool though. Not sure if you looked at the back beach? But it is completely different to the main beach. I snorkeled at both beaches and the back beach was full of big sea slugs at least 10 inches long! Scary! I look forward to checking out your next video trip Chok Dee khup

Hey Gabi, great to see you with your mother travelling and having an awesome time together, it was beautiful to see. ❤ My one and only visit to Phi Phi Island was back in 1998, it has sure changed a lot since then, obviously with the rebuilding of the Island after the tsunami, but most noticeably for me was the amount of people there and the type of shops..... (Burger King...wtf!)

One thing that is constant in Thai tourist areas is change. I haven't been to Phi Phi since '92 the main town was just a few market stalls and Maya bay was completely empty. It's still possible to find small coves with bungalows but it used to cost us About $10 per day including meals.

Would you say its better to book boat tours online or in person after arriving at Ao Nang?

[@frixosfriedman7813]

I've got family coming to visit me in Thailand next week. I made the decision for us not to go to Phi phi because of the mass tourism. I went a year ago and I felt like I was on a conveyor belt in a factory. The speedboat to and from Phi Phi was horrible as well as it was choppy the whole way and I got sea sick (the effects of which could still be felt whilst walking around Maya bay). I think spending a night there is the way to go rather than a day trip. We will go to Racha Yai and Racha Noi instead.

[@jomontanee]

You can choose SIMILAN or LANTA instead. 💗
