Happy New Year! Photo of the Day

Stunning Maya Beach, Ko Phi Phi, Thailand
Ko Phi Phi
This island of stunning natural beauty has recovered incredibly well from the tsunami that devastated it in December 2004. Ever since Leonardo di Caprio set fictional foot here for the film 'The Beach' based on the seminal novel by Alex Garland, Ko Phi Phi has been one of Thailand's tourist hotspots. Come here for some decent beaches, heaps of other backpackers (as well as an increasingly upmarket crowd), incredible mountainous landscape (take a walk to the viewpoint on Phi Phi Don for picture-perfect views), and some pumping nightlife. You will disappointed if you come here expecting the pristine and unexplored scenes from The Beach, but if you want some fun and cracking scenery then this is a great place to visit.
