After Krabi we got the ferry to Koh Phi Phi and the weather kept getting hotter and hotter. We went here thinking it was going to be a really chilled out, relaxing place, but instead it seemed like party central as it was the week before full moon party in Koh Phangan. After finding a hostel, we headed straight to the beach and what we hoped would be a cool and refreshing sea. Unfortunately the sea was very shallow and the water was warm, like bath water. We walked out in the water for a few hundred metres and it was only shoulder deep... waist height for Colin. Here the water got a bit cooler, but the speedboats told us to swim back, as they needed the space to turn round in the bay.
Our first night here wasn't very pleasant, as we had a group of "Brits Abroad" in our hostel who insisted on waking us up every hour on the hour because they couldn't handle their drink and unfortunately our room was right across the bathroom.
First thing we did the next morning was get our money back for the next night and find a new hostel, only to hear that the noisy group were leaving that day. The new place we found was nicer anyway and slightly closer to the beach.
We spent the next day on the beach again and though the weather was lovely during the day, by the time we went for dinner it was raining hard and we got drenched walking around after 10 minutes.
So we booked tickets for Koh Lanta for early the next morning.
