After a quiet few days on Lanta we were all looking forward to a bit more activity on the very tourist Phi Phi. The Island was used as the location for the film 'the beach'.
We only spent two full days on Phi Phi, I think we were slightly put off by the english lager louts, but nonetheless we all had a great time. On the first day we enjoyed the weather on the beach. We spent a day reading, playing frisbee, swimming, bat and ball, all the normal sort of beach 'stuff'. That evening we hit the town, particularly enjoying the bar with layed on thai boxing, and the beach party. I cannot speak for Tom or Robbie, but I only got home at about 8am that morning, the sign of a good night I think.
Predictabely most of the following day was spent asleep, although we did venture down to the beach at about 4 to find a hugely competetive game of beach football (faring vs thai) and played long enough that we could barely move for exhaustion. As I remember we then went for a treat, some rare western food before retiring early to play our favourite card game which has become a bit of an obsession.
With a few days to kill untill our flight to Kuala Lumpur we decided to go to Railay bay, a tiny little peninsula about an hour from Krabi. We had decided to get the boat at 9, but after waking up at 9.15 that was no longer an option, we started the journey at 2.
