Koh Phi Phi!

Wednesday 15th February
We got the early boat over to Koh Phi Phi and arrived around 11am. We soon discovered that accomodation on this island is not easy to find and is expensive! It was packed but we eventually found a bungalow up loads of steps so theres a view over Phi Phi - its pretty cool!

We had a walk around and went to the beach - its not very pretty and apparently theres poo everywhere in the sea! Eww! This island is very different to what i thought it would be and is all about partying, so the island has kind of been ruined by it all. 
Something else about this island is the damage that was caused by the Tsunami in 2004. It was one of the worst affected areas and its horrible to see pictures of what it caused. There is still so much work being done here and parts of it are still ruined. There are also Tsunami evacuation routes etc around the island which is pretty scary! 

Anyway in the evening we went for dinner and Emily was happy to find a Banana split - her search has not been so successful recently! (see above)
 We went to Paddys Bar - a really nice Irish bar owned by a man - Paddy - who has lived on the island for 6 years! We met Julie here and her crazy Canadian friends. They are nuts but so funny! They played us some really random country songs about Chicken Fried and other things (which they know all the words to) and resembled a strange canadian boyband! We stayed at Paddys for a while with his legendary Strawberry Daquiri and Watermelon Daquiri Buckets (Amazing) and then went on to Slinkys!

Today was pretty similar - went to Long Beach for the day and then went back to Paddys in the evening to listen to the canadians sing country songs haha! We went on to Slinkys but the police closed it down and shut off the music early - rubbish! We tried to get Jamie to get a tattoo with Emma's name on his left bum cheek and mine on his right but he didnt fall for it! 


Friday 17th February
Today was probably one of my favourite days while travelling as we did a boat trip around the islands and bays! It was definitely one of the funniest days we have had as so much happened!
First of all we went and waited to leave for our boat trip to find the boat had broken so we couldnt go. We were pretty pissed but it was very funny to listen to Emma argue about the need for compensation! I dont think they are aware about liability issues in Thailand haha!
We eventually booked ourselves onto another one leaving an hour later so went to get a drink while we waited. Emma got herself a mixed fruit shake and it actually smelt and tasted like vomit! I thought this was going to be the breaking point for her but she carried on with her day!
We got onto the boat which was lovely and boiling! First of all we went to Bamboo Island and did some snorkelling! The boat stayed out in the sea so we had to swim to shore which was fun, although a little freaky as i was constantly on the look out for sharks!
Next stop was Monkey Bay and we decided to get a Kayak from the boat to shore, although it seemed everyone else wanted to so we had to fight for one! This really rude old couple pushed their way in front but when getting on fell backwards slow motion into the sea - it was very funny and i nearly wet myself watching them - Thats what you get for being impatient and rude!
We finally got one and Emma did the same falling backwards which was also very funny! It really wasnt her day! It got worse when we made it to the Bay and i hit her in the face with an oar - everyone who knows me will know how clumsy i am so personally i think she should have been more careful! (Sorry Emma hope you haven't got a black eye) It was very funny though and i could not stop laughing for about 10 minutes. 
Eventually we got over the accident and looked for monkeys - no monkeys to be found! I was very dissapointed but thankfully a man who resembled a gorilla posed as a monkey for me :-) He was very hairy!

After looking around we got back onto the Kayak and made our way back to our boat. We sat in the sun and got caught perving on some hot guy. All three of us were blatantly looking as we were all staring while leaning far overboard while he was in a kayak so it was very embarassing! I think his head shrank abit after though as he was showing off on the top of the boat and while trying to come down fell on his back and made a massive shud. It was hilarious and i could not stop laughing at him, he laughed with me too but he went bright red! He wasnt so attractive after this moment. 
The next stop was Shark Bay and me and Emily skipped this one as we are terrified of sharks! Emma being the crazy person she is got her snorkels on and jumped into the shark infested water - what a nutter! 
Me and Emily stayed on the boat and saw the sunset (which was mostly hidden by cliffs). We were entertained though when a young chinese man came onto the boat and took his shorts off infront of us. Me and Em freaked out as we thought he would be butt naked but were even more suprised to see he was wearing something that resembled a nappy underneath. I had to turn around and face the sea as i couldnt breathe i was laughing so much and didnt want to upset him!
After this we finished our boat trip and headed back to the pier (after some of the guys decided to jump off a cliff). We got ready to go out for our last night, went for dinner with Julie, Chris and Chad and then did the usual Paddys and Slinkys Combo. It rained a lot so i was drenched but had a good night! 
Koh Phi Phi was very different to what i thought it would be, but was still good! I really cannot take any more drinking for a few days so me and Emma are getting the boat over to Koh Lanta to chill out before i have to leave Thailand for Malaysia!
