Just a quick post. We had a great day out on our "James Bond" tour. Our guide was this fabulously camp Thai man with long hair and nails who I am convinced moonlights as a lady boy in a cabaret act on weekends.
The "James Bond Island" was so overcrowded with tour boats it was hard to enjoy, but still glad we saw it as its pretty cool especially for those who love 007. The most fascinating part of the tour was a visit to a floating Muslim village where we had an amazing lunch, the best we have had so far on our Thai trip. After lunch we wandered down some of the narrow market lanes and it almost had the feel of Venice, without all the Catholic churches and bridges.
Will post some pics of our day out when I am next at an internet cafe with my camera. We've made a slight change to our travel plans. Instead of spending three nights in Kho Phi Phi we are only spending one night there and spending the other two on the nearby island of Kho Lanta. We did some research and it seems that Phi Phi is no longer affordable to the budget traveller (apparently budget rooms are really awful) and even the upmarket stuff is not great. So we have booked a beach bungalow in Kho Lanta which looks amazing and within our budget. We'll make our way to Phuket from their on Saturday morning. Our flight to Singapore leaves 10am on Sunday.
