Phi Phi and Phuket
We flew into Phuket for one night where there was not much going on, except for an enormous all night vegetable market, so the next morning we took an hour and a half boat ride to Koh Phi Phi. It was here that we finally saw the Thailand all the brochures talk about; Koh Phi Phi is beautiful.
The first day we took a nice afternoon walk around the coast path to Long beach. The path weaved over rocks and in and out of several deserted sandy coves where we swam, played bat and ball and Holland and Andrew played the guitars they had rented for the day. When we got to Long Beach Becky had a massage on the beach while the boys entertained the tourists and locals with their music, and drank banana shakes. That evening we went out to the busy bars and fire shows and watched the tourists fight each other in the Muay Thai ring for free buckets.
Phi Phi Lay - "The Beach"
On our second day we chartered a longtail boat to go and explore Phi Phi Lay (the island where they filmed 'The Beach'). The beach itself was great, there are no houses or shops here (or anything that isn't natural) so it felt really peaceful, a real paradise. Our captain took us around the dramatic islands to all the best coral reefs. We did more great snorkelling (it's never going to get boring) and as we weren't on a tour we could spent as long as we wanted where we wanted. One of the best days in Thailand so far!
Railay Beach
Sadly we had to say goodbye to Phi Phi and made our way by a big then a small boat to Railay beach via Krabi. We made the mistake of booking our room in advance through a tout and ended up walking in the blazing sun for half an hour to the highest furthest room from the beach! Railay beach was nice but was no Phi Phi, we spent a relaxing day on the beach and a pleasant evening eating great food, watching movies and partying with the locals in the Reggae bar, before catching our flight to Bangkok the next day.
