After a 2 hout boat ride from Phi Phi we arrived at Koh Lanta port. On the boat over there were several hotel/guest house promoters offering a free taxi from the port to their hotel, so we jumped on with one of them for a free ride to town. We weren't too sure on where to head for but we were told that the hotel we were being taken to was in a good area, upon arriving and looking round the resort (which was very nice), we discovered that we were quite strande...

For those of you who arent aware, the Phi Phi Islands are where the Leonardo Dicaprio film 'The Beach' was filmed so you can all picture how nice it is here.

After shopping around we came across New Way Diving who our SA friend Paul did his course with when his was here a few weeks back, they're also one of the LP's favorite's because they're a small school and...

We here and ready for the legendary Full Moon Party! Wooooooooooohoooooooooo!!! We arrived at around midday after an overnight bus from Bangkok to Chumpon, and then a ferry to the island. We thought it'd be really difficult to find accommodation and stupidly expensive what with the Full Moon Party being only 2 nights away but we were so lucky - as soon as we got out of the taxi at Haad Rin we found a woman who took Rich on her motorbike to see a bungalow at ...
