I have to go Phi Phi!

Ko Phi Phi was fantastical, glorious, etc. etc. etc.

Totally most beautiful island in Thailand.

Stayed at 'Sascha's Guesthouse'... only semi cheap, VERY warm, decent bathroom with only an ice cold shower, and a balcony that looked out to nothing but a tin roof, and another balcony with loads of undies hanging on a line.
Glamorous!

The beach was, as Jessica would so eloquently put it, "like none other!"

White sand, blue green water, cliffs and palm trees, what more could anyone ask for?
I suppose they could ask for it to stay forever, but five days for Stu and I sufficed.

We went to a half moon party, which was not in any way like the half moon parties on
Ko Panang, but it was great.
Free barbeque and drinks all 'round. Well...
not for Stu and I...
Buckets were a whopping 500 baht!

We went completely mennonite: Split one banana shake and had literally all we could eat at the free barbeque. Anyone who's reading this that goes to Greendale M.B. would be proud.

Met the greatest lady ever and conducted an official interview. (I was so nervous that it took ten agonizing minutes across the street to persuade myself to just be confident, get my butt over there, and commit!)
And it was so worth it!
She was this famous Pad Thai lady who owned a shop that is known as 'The best Pad Thai in Thailand'
We chit chatted for a long time, first the interview and then long after that. She was wonderful and it was such a nice experience! We took some pictures afterward, hugged, and she gave me (and Stu who was across the street) really nice Thai necklaces that she just happened to have with her, it was so sweet!

Memories from Phi Phi:
1. Deep fried bananas (yum yum)
2. Mongolian BBQ (I was known as the Mongolian BBQ girl and by the end of our time there the waiter may as well have known me by name.)
3. The beaches (duh)
4. Touching a jelly fish by accident!
5. Late night reading (my new favorite activity)
6. Stuarts growing obsession with ants
7. The 'View Point' and the long hike there!
8. Jelly fish on our way from Krabi (so many!) and such a fun ferry ride!
9. The half moon party
10. Pad Thai lady (duh!)

Also, all of the nudity... could've done without that one. HELLO people! Save that for marriage you little perverts! haha.

Last night was AMAZING!!!
We went to Krabi Town and had SUCH a fun night!
They were having some sort of festival and last night was the last night! Our timing couldn't have been better!
BUT getting there was an utter disaster and we were threatened by a guy who wanted us to pay 100 baht for a free cab ride... he told us he was going to call the police and he pulled out a phone and called someone. We just stood there and kept arguing with him and eventually he drove away like a good little boy.
It was scary though! (maybe just for me, Stu didn't care.)
But anyway, the festival...
totally awesome! Totally fun! Totally tiring!
Oh, and our room for our final night in Thailand (did you catch that?) was b-e-a-utiful!

OH MY GOSH
Did I tell you that in Krabi (last time we were there) there was the worlds biggest spider in our room?? It was probably the grossest thing ever, like, I don't even think that if I stepped on it I could kill it, it was THAT big.. and we had all these little things on our wall that we found out were...are you read for this??
SPIDER EGG SACKS.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Apparently that spider was LIVING in our room laying millions of raunchy egg sacks.

Oh, it was horrible. One of the most horrible things ever.

The woman at the reception desk said to me 'They are not danger! Many people have these spiders in their homes living. Not danger!'

But to me: DANGER DANGER DANGER!

Hey guys, guess where we are right now???

MALAYSIA! and it's totally sublime!!

We're in Langkawi right now which is this:
