DAY 17 - KO PHI PHI DAY 2

We all got up and chilled on the beach for most of the day. The skies were cloudy which meant that the effect of the sun was deceiving and some of us ended up with sunburn. Later we saw the spectacular sunset over Maya Beach.

In the evening, we wandered around town checking out all the useless stuff for sale in the stalls. We saw plenty of people getting tattooed using the traditional bamboo method. The sight of this caused Dave and Rhys to bog themselves as they intend to get one in our next stop, Ko Phangan.


The Infamous Thai Buckets

At night, we all went to party in Carlito's Beach Bar. It was a great atmosphere and we met people from all over the world. Fintan experienced his first Thai 'bucket'. These are a concoction of your own choosing mixed into a small bucket which you drink out of. Anyone who has been to Thailand knows all to well about these drinks! Dave made an early escape as he is the first one to fall ill on the trip with the runs. We were taking bets for how long this would take to happen and have no doubts that this will be the first of many times considering the water and food quality in some of the countries we are visiting.
