Phi Phi Island Festivities

Yi Lin Law

It is that time of the year again! Senior Sneak is the week where seniors get away in order to know each other better by spending time with each other.  

This is the year, we as seniors, are able to enjoy ourselves by paying for our own trip through all the hard work we have put in our junior year as a whole class. Based on the amount we raised in our junior year, we were able to travel to Phi Phi Island. Traveling back and forth was a hassle: through multiple bus rides and boat rides.

We started our journey Sunday evening, 27 August, by bus. On our three and a half hour- journey to reach the Thailand border, we were able to play games, eat a bunch of snacks, and jam to amazing tunes from Khalid and Willow Smith. With sleepiness written all over our faces, we had to get off the bus at midnight to get our passports checked to enter Thailand. Our journey to the ferry terminal in Krabi required another bus ride for long hours. After arriving at the ferry port, we were able to immerse ourselves with Thai food and culture.

After hours of traveling, we were met by the beautiful resort. There we were able to enjoy the beautiful nature we never had the chance to examine on our normal hectic days. Natalie Ryan, the only new senior student said, “As a new student, this is a way for me to create memories with my fellow classmates. The day we went island hopping created both a bond with the environment and people--and made me value the work effort put into this trip. Not only did we bound through island hopping, but also we had class activities that brought lots of laughter. The quality of our accommodation reflected the hard work of my peers. I believe it is a great tradition to uphold in Dalat.”
