Life was soooo hard....
KOH PHI PHI
After arriving in Bangkok and staying there for about 5 days, we got sick of all the traffic and noise and with the promise of a beach within an overnight bus ride was too tempting.  So we boarded an awesomely ghetto bus (there was old velvet curtains and tassles adorning the windows) and headed down the Eastern Coastline to Phuket.  Then after negotiating a 500baht fare for the ferry over to the island of Koh Phi Phi...we were off! It was Zoe's last portion of her vacation and we were now in full on party and R&R mode.  It was rainy season and little sun was seen- either from it raining so hard it flooded or because we slept the day away due to the many late nights of red bull, sangsom and dancing.....
Our hostel was awesome due to it's great location and the Australian owner was super friendly despite the fact that she lost her toddler and sister in the tsunami.
Nights out.....
To Start:
buy one bottle of sangsom 'thai whiskey'
and three bottles of thai redbull (contains ingredients not approved by the FDA here in the US!) and 3 liter Singhas.
...then you hit your stride and the night flies by!
RECOVERY.....
Disasterous "Amateur Muay-Thai" attempts! Well...my style isn't so much muay thai as it is ATTACK!!!
The local banana pancake guy.  DELICIOUS.
Stock up on the "essentials" at your friendly local 7-11. and as Celene loved- the spiciest instant noodles EVER!
