We decided to check out Koh Phi Phi island which we had heard lots about. It was the location for the movie "The Beach" but as its so popular and touristy we decided to just do 1 night there. The accommodation was expensive and small. The island is really small and too overcrowded. The island is crammed with bars restaurants, tourist shops and tour companies. We decided to go to the beach. We were highly disappointed the water was so so shallow for miles and beach was really dirty. Someone we was chatting with pointed out rubbish and a used condom floating along the shore. We left the beach. Where the movie was filmed was on another island of phi phi where you could do a snorkel trip too. We decided against it as we wanted to do something different but there wasnt much to do. We went for a drink and a really nice seafood BBQ dinner too. There was people handing out flyers for a beach party so we went to that. It reminded us of a small full moon party. Fire shows, limbo and skipping ropes etc. We spent a couple hours there walked along to a few other beach bars and got ready to leave Phi phi to go to Phuket the next day. I had high expectations of this island but it was overpriced and over crowded.
