After the horrible experience of a night boat, then being crammed onto a mini bus, then having to buy our ferry ticket twice due to being scammed we finally made it to Koh Phi Phi.
Koh Phi Phi is a beautiful little island, with lots of little market stalls, places to eat and places to drink. Hippies and Carpe Diem are two great bars where you can either chill out and watch the fire shows or get up and dance. The Irish pub was also good, its always busy and you get to play connect 4 while ordering your drink! Places like the reggae bar are a little more tacky with a boxing ring in the middle, where they encourage friends to get up and fight each other in order to win a free bucket of alcohol.
Although overall we rate Koh Tao above Koh Phi Phi, Koh Phi Phi is definatley the best place for scuba diving. Greg and Kim did two more fun dives while they were here. They saw sea snakes (extremly poisionus), trumpet fish, angel fish, trigger fish, scorpion fish, yellow box fish, flute fish, barracuda, lion fish (again very poisonus), clown fish, cleaner shrimps (who used their tenticles to clean under your fingernails), black tipped reef sharks and the giant moray eel which was definately the favourite. The giant eel must have been 3 metres long and wider than us, its head being bigger than ours too!!! Incredible!
