"Low Season" on Koh Phi Phi
... Phi islands, on the other hand, were famous in my mind for turquoise seas, white sand beaches, and limestone karst rocks. Koh Phi Phi Don, the main island where there is a tourist-based town on an isthmus between two bays bookended with limestone cliffs, ...
Take me to the Beach

You like? You buy?
... the one I was used to in Malaysia. Most people here are not 'backpacking' and are instead only in Thailand for 2-3 weeks, generally split between Phi Phi and Phangan. Phi Phi had its moments most definatly but I am looking forward to getting to Koh Tao ...
Koh Phi Phi, Maitland, Seth, and Caroline arrive
... so after the amazing rock climbing and chill backpacker scene on Tonsai, Maitland was none to stoked to come check out the "resorty" Koh Phi Phi with Caroline and me. But we drugged him and stuffed him in a large sack, so he made the journey anyway. ...
On to Kho Phi Phi Don

Paradise

One last time ....
... were doing their Discover Scuba, which mean that they have never dove in their lives. They shouldn't ever take them to Phi Phi without experience ... the currents are far too strong and the reefs are too fragile. I can't convey to you the ...

First taste of Thailand
When we first arrived on Phi Phi we were really suprised by how developed it was - we were expecting something similar to Gili T - a few bars and resaurants - but this was much much more. It made us appreciate how unspoilt and quiet Gili Meno was in ...
"Take me to the beach..."
... , and I could happily manage living in a dorm room full of other people. Who doesn’t love sleeping on a top bunk? Koh Phi Phi was really nice though very tourist orientated. It is extremely busy, the paths are narrow and you constantly have to move ...

Hello possums!
... damnest to defraud Air Asia out of 5,000 Bahhht as we twisted the words of our 'Quiet night in' last night and painted Phi Phi Don's tiles a most distinct tint of claret and beaujolais. I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray, but then Bop Bop didn't ...

To the 'Beach'

The Beach. Yes, that beach.

Koh Phi Phi
