hi mark. thanks for your comment. yer sure - we booked it fairly last minute whilst on phi phi island at one of the many travel agents there. there is only one company that organises this really so the price is generally the same: 2000 thai baht (40 gbp). this included return transport across there, food and the camping itself. however what i'd really recommend is to firstly do one of the day boat trips - which takes you to monkey island/ snorkelling etc and then drops you at the beach for 2 hours. if youre then booked on to the night camping trip you then kinda end up with having the island to yourself for a few hours - since day tours leave and the night one doesn't arrive until around 6pm! feels like something out of castaway. that was aslo bookable at on of the many travel agents on phi phi - just shop around and haggle a bit to get best price! any more questions don't hesitate. enjoy!

Really good reading what you have written. Was wondering if you could let me know how did you go about booking your stay at 'the beach'?
