Ko Phi Phi


We were suppose to Stay in Ko Phi Phi (Ko meaning Island) for only 7 days but we liked it so much there that we ended up staying 9 or 10 days! Its a very small island but so pretty and just so nice to be on because there isn't any cars, just crazy bike drivers who you need to watch out for, but they do yell out "beep beep" to let you know they are behind you and would like to pass! haha its pretty funny at first! We had booked everything at a TAT agency in Bangkok and before Phi Phi we stayed in a great hotel in Phuket (sorry no pictures) and also booked the plane and boat ticket and the hotel on Phi Phi, so far everything had gone great, we had a great hotel in Phuket and thought we would have the same kind in Ko Phi Phi ... not so much! We passed by the hotel not even thinking it could be a hotel (that's how bad it was haha) when we checked in and went into the room we were just under shock! The room had 2 twin beds put together with a queen size mattress with a twine size mattress put together... you can just imagine! To get to the bathroom you had a little path (where we also had our bags ) and the bathroom was the worst thing ever, The toilet, sink and shower were all together in a very very small room, the shower was in between the toilet and the sink (so when you took a shower you could not, not get the toilet and walls wet) when you turned on the water in the sink the whole thing turned with it! haha anyways we couldn't stay 7 days in a room with AC but a window that didn't close! So the hotel across the side walk (since there is no roads in PHI PHI) had a beautiful pool and very cute bungalows (we actually thought that would of been our hotel at first)! With a lot of difficulty to understand and make our point that we didn't want to stay at this hotel we called the TAT agency (which was even harder to make our point on the phone since their english isn't the best) Ben actually understood them better then I. So after having the lady call us back 4 times we finally got the hotel we wanted for 4 extra euros a night! not bad hun?!?! and the difference what 20 times better!
