After Krabi we came to Phi Phi which could be best described as an small Magaluf, Mallorca. Alot of party and long days on the beach.

Thing about alcohol over here seem to be that everyone drinks either beer or "buckets". Buckets is as it stated a bucket filled with local spirits of some kind, probably not the best stuff in the world but when mixed with some Thai redbull you can enter a bar in zombie state and leave it more awake than you've been for the last couple of years.
On Phi Phi we made it a habbit to watch a band who played at a pub called Rolling Stoned Bar every night. The band itself was called "Made in Thailand Band" and they were awesome. 3 hours of rock classic every night. I'll long for that place for quite some time. On Phi Phi we also went to the island where they recorded the movie "The Beach". It was a cool experience filled with a beautifull view and some great snorkling. The capten got a bit to wasted of all that weed he was smoking on the way back but just more fun for us cause he danced really funny.

After Phi Phi we went to Lanta which is my favourite place of Thailand this far. The atmosphare is more chilled out and we arrived to a resort called Lanta Family resort.


The name kinda tricked you cause when we first arrived we just saw young people. Within 20 minutes we were already inviterd to a local event started by a guy called Matt from New Zealand. The event was called White Russian Club and it all was about socialising with the people at your resort. Every night at sunset everyone gathered in a circle painted in the sand and was handed a white russian drink. There were some rules tho. You couldn't speak anything else then Thai or English and you couldn't swear. If you did you had to go out in the water to a pole which had a bell in it and ring the bell in shame. And if you broke any records since the start of white russian club (been going on for about 50 days now, so still very possible to do) you had to buy everyone a drink. The scottish were pretty good at swearing thus was the ones doing the walk of shame the most. It varied from night to night but some nights it could be like 30 people joining in. I met the most fun people in my life here and I probably would still be there if it wasn't for the plane leaving bangkok to cambodja soon. Also there were two australian guys worth mentioning, they drank all day all night all the time, LITTERLY!!! Never met somebody who could drink that much during a few days and not feel worse than these two guys did.

We also did some scooter driving on Lanta which made us see the country side. A lot of poor people around but they still looked happy. We also feed some elephants and did some trekking in the jungle.

Next stop will be Koh Tao and Kho Pangang untill then!
