After a quick sleep in Phuket (the hotel was a little dodgy), we boarded a ferry to Koh Phi Phi. The first day we arrived we checked into our hotel and hit the beach. The beach and cliffs were beautiful.
After dinner we wandered down to the beach and watched some fire throwers perform, which were super impressive. We wandered back to our hotel and got a drink at a pub across the street from an Irish Pub (Jordan's) where there were 10 English guys outside trying to lure customers into the pub. We found out later that these Englishmen were "working" for free, we weren't sure why they would do this but we assume they received alcohol in payment of their services. The later the evening became and therefore the more alcohol they drank, the funnier they became. They were so entertaining Andrew and I watched them as they tried different techniques to get people into the pub.
Next we went back to the beach and saw that it had transformed into several HUGE nightclubs.
December 16 was another beach day. The evening was similar to the previous night, watching the Englishmen try to lure customers into the Irish Pub and going to the beach party.
On December 17, while waiting for our favourite restaurant to open (La Mamita, where we ate 90% of our meals), we went on a small climb up to the island's viewpoint. Even though it was 10 am we were sweating like crazy by the time we got to the top. The slight exertion was definitely worth the trip.
The weather while we were on the island was not the best, it was very cloudy and rained for a little bit each day, but this suited us just fine as it prevented us from getting burnt.
Koh Phi Phi was definitely a party island filled with "kids" (mostly in their early 20s). During the evenings and our "supervision" of the beach parties, Andrew would shake his head and say: "What would their parents think?" I'm inclined to think that what their parents don't know won't hurt them.
