Visiting Koh Phi Phi Without Tourists
I’ve wanted to visit the beautiful famous Phi Phi Islands ever since I arrived in Thailand in late February 2020. I decided to avoid the throng of tourists and went to the nearby island of Koh Lanta for a few days instead. I’ve been traveling around this beautiful country for over 7 months during this unfortunate world pandemic. The borders of Thailand are still closed to foreign tourism and as a result lots of people are out of work struggling to survive even though there’s only been 60 deaths from COVID in the entire country and zero on the islands. To put the situation into perspective, Thailand normally welcomes 40 million tourists every year. It’s important the government reopens the borders again soon!
