After we spent quite some days in Bangkok, we slowly started to crave a better sun, less pollution and traffic and pretty beaches.
We booked our plane from Bangkok to Phuket, where we stayed for two nights and then hopped on the ferry to Koh Phi Phi where paradise would be awaiting us.
If you're planning to stay longer on Phuket and not use it as a brief stopover, I recommend staying on the west coast as Phuket Town doesn't offer much activities.
Koh Phi Phi island is mostly famous for it's white beaches and amazing parties.
The islands came to worldwide prominence when Ko Phi Phi Leh was used as a location for the 2000 British-American film The Beach. - Wikipedia
Honestly, I've never heard of the film but apparently Leonardo DiCaprio is in it. We watched it partly on the rooftop of the Banana Bar last night, and honestly, I didn't find it that great.
But hey, what? You mentioned parties.
Yes, I did. And I've had two amazing and drunk nights which consisted of beerpong, pool parties and buckets of Long Island Iced Tea and Chang beers.
Banana bar
In the banana bar you can watch a movie every night aswell as enjoy some neat Mexican kitchen (GUAC!!!11). There is happy hour which gives you some sweet discounts as well as things like 'buy one, get two'. Which was in our case with the buckets. So you can imagine how my night was.
Reggae bar
Definitely deserves a mention because of the Muay Tai boxing ring in the middle of this bar. Tourists can challenge eachother and can win buckets of dem alcohols.
Ibiza Pool Party
A great way to start your night with dope music and a sweet water pool to rinse of your beachy, salty skin. Order a beer from in the pool and you're good to go!
Also, in this area is a great way to end your night: fire throwers, limbo, jumping rope, free shots, wicked music, blacklight and a beach are the perfect ingredients for a night to remember (or not at all).
Koh Phi Phi is also the hub to get yourself a bamboo tattoo
Don't get yourself distracted or too drunk so you end up having bullshit tattoos - I have seen Where's Waldo? Monkeys and random hand signatures getting tattooed on people's butt.
