The Beach ~ reborn

Phi Phi Island - location for the film, 'The Beach' - is still one of the most amazing destinations on Earth.

After 5 years since my last visit in 2004, just prior to the Tsunami, I had no idea what I would find upon my return.

An island in repair from the devastating wave, is still quite evident as you walk around the footpaths that connect this enchanted society.

Far from a Utopia, the lifestyle here is as thriving as ever. Party goers, beach and underwater enthusiasts, converge to enjoy an island life like no other.

Synchronicity, still my traveling companion, I reconnected with my long lost friends as if nothing had departed.

These Survivors are Alive and Well...

and The Beach has been reborn!!!
