We woke up in time to check out of our bungalow to arrange transport to Ko Phi Phi. Our boat didn’t leave until 1pm, so we went to West Rai Leh. Again, the beach was beautiful with giant limestone cliffs jetting out of the ocean. At 1 we jumped on the long tail boat back to Nammao Pier where we then took a cab to Krabi town where the ferry left for Ko Phi Phi. After a short boat trip we arrived in beautiful Ko Phi Phi. Although it’s quite the tourist destination, largely in part due to the filming of the Leanardo DiCaprio movie The Beach here, Ko Phi Phi is spectacular. We found the cheapest room possible (500 baht/night which is expensive here) and grabbed a bite to eat. Ko Phi Phi is mostly a spring break type party destination, but we did our best to escape this. At night we did go to the beach to check out the scene which was full of bars/parties, loud music and fire twirlers/dancers everywhere. Pete struck up the nerve to test his fire jump rope skills and the ring-of-fire, which you can see in the photos below. On the way home we stopped to watch a muy thai (Thai boxing) match.
