Hin Khom Beach, Ko Phi Phi

Last night me and Iz found somewhere a bit more traditional to eat. We try to do it as much as possible because the food is cheaper and generally a lot tastier than if we eat at restaurants. I love eating in these sorts of places because there's no fussing with fancy decoration, it was literally a corrugated iron hut with only 2 sides, and you see the food cooked there in front of you on a BBQ. Whereas Phuket is aimed at families or middle aged newly single men looking for a good time, Ko Phi Phi varies from a quiet local lifestyle to a loud backpacker nightlife.

This morning we changed guesthouses to the cheaper one that had more to offer, including an amazing view from our room. Not bad for 800 Baht (£16) per night. We spent the day on Hin Khom Beach, which is in the south east area of Ko Phi Phi. We've had the most perfect weather, clear skies, very little breeze and 32°C (not trying to rub it in or anything!). The beach was quite deserted in comparison to Lodalum Bay which is where most of the tourists hang out and it is quite dirty.
