Ah, Koh Phi Phi, my piece of paradise. Spending 4 nights here was never enough, and in a state of absolute relaxation, I was quite happy to avoid counting the pennies for a few days. So, I was surprised when I had only spent 7679 Baht (£138), rounding off at £34.50 a day, which whilst expensive, wasn't too bad given my penchant for expensive accomodation and buckets. Don't expect to do much here, but you could easily spend a fair amount of time and money on this little island.

Ibiza Bar was our regular hangout, the fire shows on the beach are pretty standard - you'll find them anywhere and they don't differ too much, Slinky's end of the beach does a few more interactive acts because it's bigger and that's where the bigger, louder, drunker crowds are. Banana Bar was also great, an off-the-beach rooftop bar showing free movies every night.

We stayed at Bayview Resort for 2 nights which was a lovely room, but not great location and our room was half way up a massive hill, which really did mean you had to shower each time you got home. Then we moved (couldnt keep up with the prices) to Ibiza House, this was good for the price, it gave us everything we needed and was slightly less luxury but who cares?! It was very close to the beach and so it did stay somewhat loud til the early hours, but that never bothered me.

Papaya served up fantastic food - all of us loved our meals and they were definitely hearty portions. Cosmic was great too in the same sense too, even cheaper especially for Western/Italian food, just make sure you order the pizza calzone style, whatever you have. Watching (and eating) the 'fried' ice cream being made by Ice Manias is incredible, I was still in awe by the time we had ordered, watched and ate 5 times over.

With the Thai islands all complete, we head to Phuket...
