The Lookout
This is a top pick! I made a couple of trips up to the lookout. It's a bit of a hike, but I wanted to catch a sunrise and a sunset from up there. I didn't make sunrise, but I did get some nice early morning shots with the tide in. There's not much to tell, ...

beautiful party island of destruction and sadness

Night Dive

...a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
This is a top pick! So Dew was given a flier about helping to keep Phi Phi clean. There is an environmental group that organizes beach clean-up efforts for different parts of the islands. On the 22nd there was a group heading out to Monkey Beach to help clean up ...
Snorkeling Trip
This is a top pick! ... The reef off of Caulker and the marine park near there have to be some of the best snorkeling sites in the world. But Phi Phi Leh was pretty cool too. The clouds cleared and we had sunshine all afternoon. Our wet suits kept us from ...
Don't hold your breath!
This is a top pick! ... -up and removal of debris is still very much in progress, and hundreds of young volunteers from around the world have flocked to Phi Phi to help. Where bustling alley-ways and large resort hotels once were, there are now open tracts of sand. However, not ...
So we went to Koh Lanta..................
This is a top pick! So we decided to go to Koh Lanta. The lonely planet didnt rate the place much, so that would hopefully mean that there wouldnt be a great deal of people there. We went with Johanna and Stuart to get the ferry across, and also met Warren, one of the guys ...
This must be underwater love...................
This is a top pick! ... a hard life.... Before the diving though, me and Sarah made the decision to hire another form of death on wheels a.k.a. the Thailand Moped. It was risky, but with our trusty plastic helmet's (which didnt fit properly and wouldn't have protected a 6 ...

Last day on Koh Phi Phi
This is a top pick! ... throat infection, but it required a trip to the hospital for some antibiotics. Which was a real experience (no photos, sorry). On Phi Phi you take off your shoes at the entry to every building, it gets to be routine pretty quick and you don't ...
Hello Thailand!
This is a top pick! ... from my hotel at 5am, no day can be that good with a start like that. The crux of the problem was that my destination, Koh Phi Phi Island, is remote. Really remote. No trains go near it. So you have to travel by car/van/bus. ...
The Beautiful Islands
This is a top pick! Similar to the situation with Ti Lor Su Falls, which started the trip, we had seen photos of Koh Phi Phi and Railay and just had to check these destinations out for ourselves. It was the low season, so our hotel was moderately priced. Of ...
Island Hopping for the Holidays
This is a top pick! More planning gone awry. Our hotel reservations on Phi Phi got a little messed up and we were only booked into 1 night instead of 2 and the rooms could only fit 2 people instead of 3. Apparently, 1 night on PP was enough though. The girls had ...

They Call Me Goose
