Phi Phi is the most famous island in Thailand. Not only is it the most beautiful, but they filmed the movie ‘The Beach’ there about 15 years ago and since then tourists have been pouring in.
Most places on the island are only accessible by boat, so we jumped on a tour with one of the locals. Our guy had literally tied a car engine to back of his small wooden boat and the thing was an absolute flying machine. He took us to see a beach full of monkeys, one of the best swimming spots I have ever seen and then even whipped out a bag of snorkels so we could see some fish. We then went to the famous beach, or as our French friends called it, “The beach from ‘La Plage’.”
Back in the little town, things were pretty lively. It seems to be the place to party, as we went down to the beach one night and pretty much every bar had the beats pumping and a load of Thai guys walking around spinning fire.
In one little restaurant I had the hottest green curry of my life. It was so bad that I had to order a bowl of yoghurt halfway through to soothe my flaming tongue. While choosing a drink in the same establishment I also saw a cat in the fridge. I guess you could say he was literally ‘chilling’.
