Helen and I went to Thailand over Christmas 2000. We took a 4 day trip to Pucket. Because it was Helen's first time out of China, we had to follow a group, but after arriving we traveled mostly by our selves. We also spend some time in Shanghai and Nanjing (picture here)

Helen had a small accident while riding the scooter - she scraped her knee

We also had time to go to the beach |

We took a two day trip to an island called Phi-Phi |
It was a nice trip going there by boat |

Another view - The main town can be seen on the left side at the beach. |
Restaurant in Phi-Phi - while raining |
Another view of Phi-Phi |
|
Not everything was idyllic on Phi-Phi - you just needed to get a little outside the main area |
We hiked across the island to a deserted beach on the other side of the main town. . |
It rained just before the hike, so the jungle was a little wet |
|
Simple hut at the beach on the other side of Phi-Phi island. |
Another view of the beach |
We hired a taxi-boat to sail us back to the main area of Phi-Phi |
|
We saw the beginning sunset, on the way back |
And something that looked like a storm |
Second day at Phi-Phi we hired a boat to sail us around the island and the surrounding islands. |

Some interesting cliff formations |
