One thing Christie really wanted to do while we were here was see the actual beach from the movie The Beach. It's about a 45 minute boat ride from our resort... Amy was not looking forward to that part. And she was a trooper and we signed up. We left bright and early, Christie fully clothed, covered head to toe.
We got some motion sickness pills... Which Amy took while christie hung out in the shade. We got fitted for snorkeling gear and off we went for the day.
It was well worth the trip... Amy did not get sick, Christie is no more burned, and we got to see some of the most beautiful water, fishes and beaches you could imagine. We had quite the adventure getting to The Beach - really called Maya Bay - the water was too choppy to go around the end of the isle d, so instead we climbed through the jungle to it... We had to jump off the boat and then pull ourselves in the water along a rope and then climb a ladder out of the water. Once we got to shore we walked through a jungle on some of the softest sand these feet have ever touched. We reached the other side and were in beach heaven. The water was a green we have never seen in this gorgeous cove with 30 foot high cliffs on three sides... we were actually on the beach the movie was filmed. It was unreal and almost too much to take in. Christie managed to get a camera over in a ziplock... And back! So hopefully there are some good pictures.
We spent the next five hours or so boating around, docking, and then jumping off into some of the most blue/green waters this planet has to offer. We snorkeled around so we could see everything around us. This day we will never ever forget. What an unbelievable experience.
Onto our next and sadly our last destination tomorrow, railay bay...... But first a massage and sun burn treatment.
