I'm writing this as I leave the island on a boat to Krabi. We spent three days on the island, that is the largest and most commercial of the three Gulf Islands. This has come at a price with it not being as pretty as the others.
That coupled with the fact it rained on the first two days causing the hotel power to be cut twice, meant this wasn't as good as our previous trips.
With the rain we couldn't really enjoy the beach. We stayed next to the Ark bar, right on the beach, famous for it's all day music and beach parties.
With the rain we decided to go to the cinema, saw a random film, was terrible. But theThai national anthem was great to witness before the film started. A complosory sing-a-long before each screening!
Food was great on the island though, we had some great bbq'd street food one night on the cheap! But one of the best dinners I've had on tour so far has to be a bbq on the beach. We shared a whole seabass with bbq'd corn on the cob, jacket potatoe and salad! The fish was something else literally melted in the mouth!
We had a few nights out in 'Green Mangos' and the pool bars. More buckets and dancing. Finally the sun did come out and we lazed on the beach and slept off the hangovers.
We are now heading to the west coast of Krabi town and the beautiful Phi Phi islands. We have around another 10 days in Thailand before we head south to Malaysia.
