The bay was jammed packed with boats of many shapes and sizes.
We found a nice little bungalow at the end of the beach, made entirely from bamboo and palm fronds.
Our friend who lived in the bathroom...
We sampled a wide range of tropical fruits, during our time here.
A dragon fruit cross-section.
Since there was no good snorkelling to be had around Phi Phi itself, we took a trip to Koh Phi Phi Leh, a smaller island to the south.
We were crammed into the longtail with 22 other tourists...what can you expect for $6 a person.
We drove past this odd structure that they called 'Viking Cave'.
Our first spot was 'Maya Bay', the site for the filming for the movie 'The Beach' starring Leo DiCaprio (he wasn't there but the beautiful scenery still was).
Next they brought us to a nice calm bay called Pi-leh, where there was some beautiful snorkelling, but again very little healthy coral.
On the way back we visited 'Monkey Bay', where the tour boats regularly stop to feed the Crab-eating Macaques.
They probably don't eat many crabs anymore...
They were well adapted to climbing around on the limestone cliffs...
...and swimming in the ocean.
The view down the beach from our hotel, packed with bars that liked to play extremely loud music until 3am every night. We could hear at least a couple of them loud and clear from our bungalow. Fortunately, a few beers before bed allowed us to sleep fairly soundly.
