Day 159  Jan 10 2015  Krabi Thailand

Evy ended up sleeping with the two kids in the queen bed while I got the twin, I slept ok.  We had to be at the hotel lobby for 8:30 am as we were being picked up for a speed boat tour to the Phi Phi Islands.  The boat stopped at 2 beautiful white sand beaches the second being Koh Phi Phi Ley at Maya Bay where the movie The Beach was filmed.  Both islands were so crowded with tourists and the boats that brought them that they were not places I wanted to stay.  We were taken to another island where we had a good lunch followed by snorkeling at 2 different places, again there was an overwhelming number of boats and tourists snorkeling.  The coral was pretty much dead but there were quite a few fish which everybody was feeding bread, the kids liked feeding the fish.  The boat ride to the islands was enjoyable and scenic.  When we got back to the port there were lots of search and rescue people in the area.  It turns out they were looking for 2 kids a 12 and a 14 year old that were playing in the ocean. The kids went a little to far from shore and got into a deep channel with strong currents,  they could not get back to shore.  It makes you aware of how careful you have to be with the ocean currents.
