Tsunami Evacuation makes for an Amazing View


We just arrived in Ko Phi Phi yesterday an Island about two hours away from Phuket. Once we arrived we decided to make our way towards the beach where we saw a sign that said Tsunami Emergency Evacuation route this way. We were curious so Lauren and I decided to follow the sign when we found another sign that said viewpoint this way 50 Meters. We figured it was pretty close so we made our way up a descent amount of stairs to find an OK view.

Then we saw another sign that said viewpoint 2. We came up a ways and we were curious so we decided to follow the signs to the next viewpoint to realize about 30 minutes later its was a little further then we expected. We had come so far that we decided to just go for it. About an hour later we made our way to near the top of the mountain to see an unbelievable view of the entire island. Ko Phi Phi is a little island that you can walk the whole thing in about 10 minutes with two huge mountains next to it one of which we were climbing. So the island looks like a big H. It was an amazing view.

After we ended up seeing another sign for view point 3. So after enjoying one amazing view we decided to go for it. On our way we found a random shop in the middle of the woods where I guy with a goat was selling some Coconut milk. So for 50 Baht we decided to share a Coconut and drink some of the most delicious milk I've ever had. We continued our trek up to view point 3 where we saw another great view and stayed up there till nightfall where we quickly made our way down the mountain back to the hostel.
