5th December 2009 - 8th December 2009: We decided to take the short trip across to Phi Phi as we didn't want to miss out on the most famous of the Thai Islands, however little did we know that Phi Phi was SO beautiful and a great place to party. One of the best things about this island is that you can literally walk around the whole thing - well you kinda have too because they have no cars whatsoever.
