The Boys on 'The Beach'We woke up in late morning and decided to take a day trip to Ko Phi Phi Leh, made famous as the setting for the movie ‘The Beach’. After bartering with a local long boat driver, we organised a package deal including cliff diving that would take us over to the island for a few hours.
First we scooted over to the other side of the main island to do the cliff diving. Dave obviously didn’t partake due to the double whammy of his two worst fears, deep water and heights. Getting to the 30ft cliff top was an ordeal in itself with sharp coral and rock. The jump was an instant hangover killer and we all felt great after it, except Dave!
Then it was off to The Beach. After a short stop at a random cave which we no idea why we were brought to, we entered the breathtaking Maya Bay. The bay is an enclave shrouded by massive cliff faces with a small outlet to the sea. See video below.
On landing, we were all hoping to spot Leonardo Di Caprio himself chilling out but were instead greeted by a Park Ranger who demanded 200 Bat each for coming to the beach. We’re still not sure if he was officially working for anybody! We messed around in the crystal clear water for a few hours and met a bunch of Aussies from Melbourne who we would later go out on the jar with at Hippies Bar till the wee hours.
