... update now, just on the week in the resort as the pace was far less frantic.  Highlights of the week as follows:   - Visiting Phi Phi Ley where "The Beach" was filmed.  We took a long tail boat tour of the south island, the climax of which ...

... luckily we found a longtail boatman that would take us which was great, flying along in a boat round a paradise island in the dark. Koh Phi Phi was probably our favourite island so far, although I really liked Koh Chang, the scenery is great with ...

... the hotel longboat which made the 5-10 minute transfer free of charge (which was a bonus). Here we were staying at the Phi Phi Hill resort, which is located at the end of the lovely Long beach, close to some wonderful Coral, and as the name suggests up ...

... price(1st week of the low season) and book a deluxe room for the girls and.....a jacuzzi villa for ourselves!!! Decide to leave Phi Phi 2 days earlier to have 4 days in Phuket. Ok, all arranged! Next on the programm is our snorkelling trip...each spot is ...

... didn't have too many hotels listed on the island, so she picked one which looked ok from the reviews – The Banyan Village resort. After a bit of negotiation, we managed to haggle down the rate from 2200 baht per night to 1700 baht (c €42), ...

... as amazing as I had imagined.  Our long tail driver then took us to a few other beautiful snorkelling spots around Phi Phi Lei, the area is very pretty with the limestone cliffs and crystal clear water.  Our final destination was Monkey ...

... our 2 nights in Bangkok, Mel, Nadia, Kris & I hopped a 14-hr bus ride to Krabi to catch our 2-hr ferry to Koh Phi Phi island. It was another long travel day but way worth it. We spent 3 nights in Koh Phi Phi at Andaman Beach Resort. Now I will admit ...

... loved ones. The next day we organised to go on a snorkelling trip. We went on a long-tail boat. We went to Koh Phi Phi lay, a small island not far from Koh Phi Phi. Half-way there the engine stopped but the man managed to get it going. We went past ...

... I was really worried about dying! The next afternoon we set off on our first 2 dives and they were in beautiful locations. We set up near Phi Phi Lei and got into the water. The first dive went very smoothly. Susie spent a lot of time waiting for me to ...
