Koh Phi Phi Island

Koh Phi Phi island had my spirit running wild.
The exotic blend of white sandy beaches by day and 2-for-1 buckets by night created many unforgettable memories, and not to mention the greatest opportunity for this snap happy girl. It was a last minute decision to hop on a bus to this exotic island with a few of my friends from Europe. We left on a Thursday and arrived Friday afternoon where we settled into our bungalows and hit the beach with a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic. It's not everyday you find the time and decide, "Today, I think I'll hit the beach." And it's certainly not everyday you arrive at the beach completely blown away at its stunning beauty. Being able to swim in the ocean gives me this unbelievable sense of strength. I believe it is because water is one of the strongest elements on earth; it cannot be broken, it can assume many shapes; it joins easily with itself. I like to associate myself with this irresistible force. To lose yourself in time, in concert with others, and then to reclaim our identities. I got to experience sensations I didn't know existed in my being, the one's that escape when you have found yourself to be completely free when embracing the happiness which we all deserve.
Freedom.
At last, nothing stood still.

Song’s Pad Thai, a Pad Thai stand on Koh Phi Phi Island, has a daily special which features “The Best Pad Thai.” I tasted this recipe almost every other day while I was on the island and I can garuntee this to be one of the best indeed!
