Koh Phi Phi: the one from the movie The Beach!

June 7th 

+ the way from Koh Pha Ngan (east of Thailand, in the Thai Golf) to Koh Phi Phi (west, in the Andaman sea) wasn't exactly the best of our trip. Everything starts with a night ferry which brings you to mainland; it is comfortable since you sleep on mattresses on the floor. Comfortable yes, clean....uhmmm, well.... we don't really understand why the boat leaves at 8 pm because it takes 8 hour so you arrive just at 4 am. What the hell do you do at 4am?!! don't worry, the tuk-tuk guys are waiting for you to bring you to a bar where you can wait for you bus which leaves only at 6am. Totally sleepy, we wait, and wait and wait. We only leave at 9am because we are very few people and "sorry sir, but we aren't enough people to fill the bus and we are waiting for the group from Bangkok"....you know that you are about to miss the other ferry but they keep lying to you: "don't worry mister, the ferry will wait for you"... which of course wasn't true.... in any case, we arrived and it was worth it the hassle.






 
+ This island is by far the most spectacular of all Thai islands. Located in the Andaman sea, it was very much destroyed by the Tsunami few years ago and since then they are building up hotels so that its charm is about to dissapear. However, it is still very beautiful amazing!!

 


 


 

 + The small island is formed by two sets of mountains linked by a small/flat stretch of sand where the town is located. There are no cars and  party is 24h.... AWESOME!!!!






+ And the wonderful sunsets!!!!


+And its traditional beach bars and THE Buckets
