Koh Phi Phi

After we left Phuket we arrived at Phi Phi hot and exhausted, which is becoming the norm for us at this point. They made us pay 65 cents to get on the island for trash clean up which was just annoying, we could tell later on that it wasn't working. After finding some food and a place to sleep without bed bugs we explored and got a lay of the land. It turns out most of the island is shear rock cliffs that look like gum drops and is uninhabited. The only place left is this strip that connects the two halves that's about a km long and 1000 feet wide. There are tons of shops, bars, hostels, happy massage places, scuba shops and pretty much everything else beach related. One side is only for the boat traffic and the other side is for swimming and playing. It's a really fun island because it's a smaller close knit community and easily to memorize where everything is. Oh ya it's also one of the most beautiful islands we've ever seen. We spent our days on the beach and nights partying with our new friends.

The view coming in. 

People side. The water was so shallow you could walk about 100 yards to the end of the swimming area without the water going above your waist. When the water level lowered ever so much at low tide it got baked so hot by the sun that it was hotter than most hot showers!!

Boat side. 

Hunter and Paul had some fresh caught fish the first night.

Two guys lost a bet and got each others names tattooed on their butts as a result. They have known each other for a total of 3 hrs. 

Fire shows at night. 

The most fun part of the island up to the look out. 

Paul paid to go up to the very top.

Nola and Christian smoked Hunter and a random Dutch guy in perhaps the windiest game of beer pong ever.

More fire!!

So there are no cars or trucks on the whole island and there aren't any roads either. 

Phi Phi was a super fun and somehow close knit little island with hundreds of tourists on it at any given point. It is definitely reaching its maximum fill level so it may have more problems than just trash coming soon. We were happy we got to experience it for 3 days and 2 nights before it gets completely over run. Finally, we will leave you with this:
