Boat boat?

Now,I could go on forever about the thai massages, the food, the beaches, the people, the shopping, the snorkelling, the fruits,the cocktails by the pool, the afternoon beer and nap, the full moon party of fireworks and lanterns,the thai buckets, the fruit shakes, the long tail boat trips, the (sometimes) unbelievable prices, the thai hospitality, the happy travellers, and and and...

However, After 8 nights on Ko Phi Phi (or Pi Pi, or Pee Pee however you choose to spell it) I am still absolutely amazed by the way time stands still here. I was surpised today (after snorkelling all morning, pad thai, lazing on the beach, fresh mangoes followed by a thai massage and a panang curry) that it is actually a Saturday. Amazed as it seems that it makes absolutely no difference at all, the little long boat drivers will be out there every day screaming out the highly addictive (and effetive) selling line "boat boat".

For those of you who want to know if the Tsunami has had an effect, undoutedly, but that seems to have only been on the coral and the buildings,,,the people themselves do not appear to be carrying any baggage.

Surely everyone should experience this place once in their lifetime. Then again, maybe it is better if more people stay away,,,all the more pad thai for me.

So next stop will be Ko Lanta either tomorrow or the next day.
