Back to our Phi Phi Hammocks - via Phuket town (again)

Having spent about a week in the big smoke, we decided it was all too much and thought we'd head back to Phi Phi for a little more intense hammocking

Overnight stopover in the Crystal Inn (Phuket Town)
Room with a view (of the street)

On our way, via Phi Phi Leh


Hopefully we'll see a bit more of this fella.

We're back at Koh Phi Phi Don for a while. We picked up an extra hammock in Bangkok so no need to worry about hammock inequality.


Bangkok Citybreak


Back in Bangkok to extend our visas.

The ever popular Morgue window display at Central World always gets the punters in.

In and Around Phuket Town

We stopped off in Phuket town on our way back to Bangkok for a bit of visa extension action...

... and bumped into Nan who we met on Koh Phi Phi and runs The Circle Cafe in Phuket. Look at us, all happy to have bumped into each other. "Say Cheese"

I love breakfast, I really love breakfast. One day out of the hammock and it's already started to take its toll :(

Jenny feels my pain.

Having said that, the Gow Tom Goong and Moo were bloody tasty.


After breakfast we hit the supermarket for a packet of 'Fisho'...

... and a tube of 'Squidy'. "Crisp and Delicious". It's the way they sell 'em.


mmmmmm... Hong Kong BBQ Suckling Pig. Shame i had all that Fisho earlier.

Off for our Bangkok city break, Hoorah!

So Long Phi Phi Bye Bye





We have left Kho Phi Phi... :(








But not before being roped into a little Boat Pushing business... There was a free Chang Beer in the bargain.





Jenn and Ple

Saha and me


Will (and did) Sing for Chang at Viking beach.




There's nothing so sad as an empty hammock. Well, there's poverty and disease and all but an empty hammock is pretty sad innit.





Bye Bye Kho Phi Phi.... I think we'll be back one day.

The George and Lisa Years

Lunch with George and Lisa in Phi Phi 'Paradise'


Poor George, He had a Uke with him so naturally he couldn't leave before I gave him the Ableton Treatment.... Bloody talented guitar / Uke dude as it goes, even if he is left handed ;)

Jenn and Lisa in The Studio

But all good things must come to an end...

Once again Jenn and I are abandoned on Koh Phi Phi as Lisa and George head off on the rest of their travels.
