On the boat from Phuket town to Ko Phi Phi.. we saw the famous Beach from the Movie "the beach" (called here Maya Beach) but I could only realise that it completely lost its paradise idea... with like 20 boats full of tourists and a beach completely crowded... Once we arrived in Ko Phi Phi we took a boat (taxi boat) down to Long Beach as the lonely planet was recommending it to be the most beautiful and the best for Snorkelling ;)... and it was really amazing... Clear water -Perfect white sand a little Paradise, we didn't get too much hassle finding a bungalow but the prices are really high... probably the after Tsunami effect ?... Anyway I enjoyed a day doing nothing, only swimming, getting dry/tan... drinking some fruit shakes... reading a bit... and it was really good after the 3 weeks I spent in the Mainland :D The same night we went back to the harbour where all the action was / a night out drinking was the plan :D we got there and headed for a pizza, I had Penne Carbonara and it was hmmm :D then we got our bucket (Samsang / Coke / Redbull ) and played a few drinking card games before hitting the dancefloor... Surprising enough I met the 3 Swedish guys I also met in Ko Chang... The night out was good certainly not the best! but enjoyable enough... the next day we had to take the boat at 2pm so I enjoyed the beach for another few hours before making my way down to the boat...
I don't think Ko Phi Phi is as nice as it used to be before the Movie but also the Tsunami... we could see a few pictures of the before after and it lost a bit of its charm although the island remain the most beautiful I have seen in Thailand... A pity all those resorts took the opportunity to set there straight after the Tsunami though :(
