What a wonderful day!! Thank you so much for sharing. Your video makes my day. I'm from Thailand, but living in the US now, your videos safe me from being home sick. Please stay happy and enjoy the beauty of Thailand. ❤ 🇹🇭
It certainly was a perfect day and so happy for you both. I can’t wait to be there in February following your footsteps. Josh - I would have freaked out as well with that monkey encounter. Thanks for the tip about eye contact. Didn’t know it but I’ll certainly avoid eye contact. Lol.
Wow how nice!! When we were there the visibility was poor ( we couldn’t see the sharks circling!) and there were clouds of zooplankton in the water stinging us! We didn’t stay long. So glad you had a wonderful time there
5:05 You are gonna make me cry! 5:44 You make me cry finally!!! Ps. AWWW...that little kitten who just climbed onto your lab. He is so peaceful. He knows you have such a loving heart that is why he trusted you.
@@LisaAndJosh yes it has. One memorable story I had very upset stomach and was on the toilet all the time. In some pain. So I went to the little pharmacy store. She could not speak English and through my animations she gave me some pills. So 1 hour later I thought I was dieing. I later discovered she gave me a laxative the last thing I needed 😳
Thank you for this vid! I lived on that island. I had to come back because of the Pandemic and it was so nice to see how everything is going there! thanks again!
I just stumbled across this video and am so grateful! I'm going to Thailand in March and doing as much research as possible to get the most out of my trip. You both have such an incredible vibe and created such an informative, entertaining travel video, happily subscribed instantly!! Here for good now. 🥰
Wow I’m going to Phuket in 2 weeks thank u for your useful videos they help a lot! I don’t plan for phi phi island but I want to take the private boat ride like u guys so much. It’s so beautiful. Do u know if it’s possible to go there from Phuket instead of phi phi?
it would be a pretty long day going all the way and back, but it's probably possible. i'd recommend staying in phi phi for it - the island is beautiful, you wont regret it :)
If only I could swim. But dang Josh that's messed up. I'd be on the boat too. I'd just sit and take all those breath taking pictures. That lady is the coolest!!! I'm so jelly!!!!! 😯😯😯
Great day for you guys and the views were fantastic! Hope the camera stays waterproof! Enjoy the next day! If you have time see if you can visit with Richie and Maybelle's channel, they have a lovely channel from Phuket!
Wow! Just wow, the memories… we were on phimphi in 2019.03, just as the pandemic started, e eryone was afraid, no tourists there… in the sweet lagoon and at the beach it was only us, 4 adults and our baby girl 5years old… it was so amazing, seeing you video both gives me strength and also kills me inside, longing for our next trip back… wow thank you for an awsome video, you look so truly happy. Keep on keeping on from sweden. Ps. My brother lost his cyklops at the beach… looser ;)
100% envy envy!!! lol So happy for you 2. I have never been to this island yet because I left when I was a kid. :( Next time, I will make it a destination. Thank you. :)
Hey Lisa and Josh! This is Cheveyo’s brother in law, Devin (the one who’s having a baby in a couple weeks). That looks like just the best day ever! Awesome stuff🏝
HEY HEY! :) so good to kinda-internet-meet you! you feeling ready for the next few weeks, and what comes after? i'm sure it'll be great :) and thanks so much for watching and commenting - it was such a great day. there's something about southeast asia that's bringing out the best in all of us for sure.
Your video brings me back to Phi Phi Island been there 4 times. Funny thing when we were in Thailand on Koh Phi Phi Island when the coronavirus hit. The police told all tourist on the island that the ferry boat was shutting down within a couple of days and there would be no boats taking anyone back to land because the island was in quarantine. Also the police said anyone could stay as long you have money. So we stayed for almost 4 months. Your video at the end type out showing private boat tour for 2 people is $45.41. I did pick up that that you two shared the boat for 6 hours with another couple total cost around $90 for 4 people. I just don't want people to get angry when they are given another amount for a 6 hour private boat for 2 people really cost between $70 to $100.
Hello. Me and a friend are visiting Phuket in about three weeks time. And we also plan to visit Phi Phi. When does the tour start in the morning and when does it finish. Do you think it is possible to take a ferry from Phuket to Phi Phi. Take the tour like you did. And take a ferry back in the evening to Phuket. Or do you have to spend the night in Phi Phi? Regards from Sweden....
Hi there! we did a 6 hour boat day, there were also 3 hour boat trips as well though. The ferries from Phuket to Phi Phi are maybe 2 hours long, so it'd be a long day and might be rushing it. Koh Phi Phi is a beautiful island to stay the night, if you are forced to :) It might help to check with a local ferry schedule or check with the agent we booked with (Google link is in the description above). She was awesome!
If you want to see beautiful mountains right in the middle of the ocean: Don’t forget Ha Long Bay at Northern Vietnam 😘 👌 Greetings from Greenwich London ⚓️ ⛵️ Cheers ☕️ 👍 🌹
@@LisaAndJosh Yes I have! It’s so great 😃 experience ! Just be sure to choose a good make of motorcycle that is capable of climbing steep slopes in mountainous areas ⛰ ⛰ And keep an eye on the Whether conditions!
I did a Ko Phi Phi island hopping tour like this and did it with good weather gone bad. Our last stop was Maya Bay, but we did not land there because of a sudden rainstorm that forced us to stop in the opposite side of the island. Maya Bay was still the plan so our group of 10 people swam about 20-30 meters to the island and walked through a bit of its forest. Thankful it was a short walk and it ended up being one of those moments when I thought "This is why I travel." When we arrived, I got an overwhelming feeling of wonder that still stays with me until today as we walked towards the Beach. It was empty of people with clean turquoise water and no boat in sight. The rains even stopped and the sun peeped out for a bit. It was beautiful and I could have cried. Our group stayed an hour but I could have stayed there all day if it was allowed. Apparently there were quite a few factors that happened for this perfect event to have happened. For one, I came during shoulder season when the monsoon rains were frequent and sudden. Second was only a handful of boats left Ko Phi Phi to do tours because of the expected rains and our tour was one of the last to arrive at MAya Bay. I guess another is that this was happening on the same day as the Full Moon Party in Ko Phangan so not to many backpackers were around at the time. Lastly, before going to Ko Phi Phi, I was stuck in Ao Nang, one of the ports near Ko Phi Phi, for a couple of day because of bad weather. (I won't recommend staying here if you can avoid it.) It comes down to perfect timing and rough waves, but this experience exceeded my low expectations of large crowds and trash everywhere. Apparently, one of my travel friends came a week later than me to Maya Bay and it was swarming with people/ I am glad you guys managed to get to this part of Thailand now despite Covid. While I am hoping the tourism will pick up, you are very lucky to see all these islands without the heavy distraction of crowds. Happy Travelling, Josh and Lisa!
Wow, this is an awesome story, Nino! Got chills reading it and am so happy you got to experience Maya Bay in a very special way. Absolutely love when plans and travels align in a perfect way like this. Even when we expect the worst (rain, bad weather, rough current, etc.) mother nature was in your favor and showed you the best of Maya Bay. Thanks for sharing!! "This is why I travel"---yes!!!
You shoulda seen the coral in Maya Bay before The Beach came out. It was alive not all bleached out like it is today. There were large rainbow parrot fish, barracuda and shoals of other colourful parrot fish moving from one brain coral to another, feeding. And the antler corals were amazing. Last time I went, they were all broken. Also, last time I went (about 4 years ago) I got a really bad skin reaction. A doctor told me at the clinic on Phi Phi that there was a lot of human faecal bacteria in the water because there were too many resorts and therefore too many visitors to the island. Apparently, now the Thai tourism board has banned anymore resorts being built on Phi Phi. But who knows!? Corruption is so rife in the Thai government.
I am from India and we have monkeys in lot of places..i can tell you never try to be friendly with monkeys..they are dangerous and not equal to a steay dog or cat. Never feed a monkey otherwise ot gets a habbit of attacking people for food
@@LisaAndJosh no negotiation just got to ask more than one person they sit all along the entrance And everywhere tons of them (taxi boats) I live in Thailand and go few times a year 😁 and also the company pays even less around 1000. If you get one your own they make more and you can tip 😊
Can’t wait we will be there in 6 weeks 🤞🏻and I am 100% with Josh that monkeys are the worst. I’ll gladly skip any monkey encounters. I’m Australian so we call them little shits or little bastards. My daughter still talks about the stolen lollipop at Batu Cave. Me: Darling there’s monkeys so you might have to hand over your lollipop… don’t try to stop them they might hurt you… queue *SHREEKING*!!!!
so glad you get to come over :) we found out later that you can just tell your boat driver to not go to monkey beach, which we wish we did. well, at least I wished we didn't go lol

I love y’all’s vlogs. I’m learning a lot. I’m planning on backpacking for 6-7 months through Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines
What an epic trip that will be!!!

Good travel, amazing view. Very nice, I like this place and will go there next. From Mohd Johari Channel Malaysia. 😁👍👍
i went there 32 years ago, wow time fly's, really not much there then, but it was so cool, not busy, it was bliss

Loved the feels in this Josh. Loving the feeling you guys are bringing to the exploration we’re all on with you guys……
thank you so much :) we're trying our best out here, even though travel is not exactly easy right now. super worth it, but not easy
@@LisaAndJosh I’m inspired to take my family on a gap year now, or perhaps a gap 1/2 year.
Thank you for this vid! I lived on that island. I had to come back because of the Pandemic and it was so nice to see how everything is going there! thanks again!
wow! hope you get to be there again soon. Koh Phi Phi is so special. Hope you're well!
I really enjoyed your day at Koh Phiphi beach. Will be traveling there later this year.
Never a bad day on a boat in Koh Phi Phi! Enjoy your trip!
You guys seem so much happier since you've left Europe!
Warmer weather will do that.

Hy guys! One thing, Did you take this tour from Phuket? Maybe you can give some advice where I can find the lady with the tours?
Regards
we were staying on Koh Phi Phi and worked with Susan directly on the island--this is their info goo.gl/maps/QhcF7SJXttPAzM7C6
I hope you enjoy Samui as well.
so far so good :)
You guys are so lovely.
thank you :)
Hallo may l ask how much price for the private long tail boat for 2 people?
I am in love
Koh Phi Phi will do that to people :)
Thailand 🇹🇭 are the most beautiful place with less tourists 😊
such a beautiful place!!!

Aww loved this vlog… new Thai sub ❤️
thank you and welcome!!
What is the name of this tour?
uhhh... private 1 day boat tour? best to go talk to cha cha when you get on the island, she'll get you sorted out :)
I was there 2018, i am so sad what covid makes this islands so empty, so hard for the local people there
Yes, hoping more will be able to come back soon!! Feels like the pandemic forced many to just abandon the island :/

Good videos
thank you! :)
You shoulda seen the coral in Maya Bay before The Beach came out. It was alive not all bleached out like it is today. There were large rainbow parrot fish, barracuda and shoals of other colourful parrot fish moving from one brain coral to another, feeding. And the antler corals were amazing. Last time I went, they were all broken. Also, last time I went (about 4 years ago) I got a really bad skin reaction. A doctor told me at the clinic on Phi Phi that there was a lot of human faecal bacteria in the water because there were too many resorts and therefore too many visitors to the island. Apparently, now the Thai tourism board has banned anymore resorts being built on Phi Phi. But who knows!? Corruption is so rife in the Thai government.
I bet it looked spectacular back then
😍😍😍😍
Where you buy this trip?
Check the description of the video - you HAVE to go see Cha Cha to book this one :)
What time does it leave?
we scheduled our boat trip for the morning until sunset :)
Overnight at maya bay is the best
i didn't even know that was an option - we'll have to try that when we go back
I am from India and we have monkeys in lot of places..i can tell you never try to be friendly with monkeys..they are dangerous and not equal to a steay dog or cat. Never feed a monkey otherwise ot gets a habbit of attacking people for food
Should make a movie on the clan of viscous monkeys and Lisa and her cats come to rescue
this idea right here - netflix special?
The private long tail boat for a full day is actually 1200-1500baht dam you payed double lol
yeah probably - didn't feel like the right time to try to negotiate, ya know?
