So I'm on the boat leaving koh Phi Phi now. I'm really going to miss this little island with no roads.
The Pier
From koh Phi Phi we took a boat to The largest island in Thailand, Phuket.
On this resort island we checked in the 4 and a half star Kris Hotel. We picked this hotel mainly for two reasons. Michael wanted to stay in a four star hotel and it was in the northen area closest to the airport. I of course fell in love with the decor so We had to stay there. Appearantly the happening spot was Pattong beach Wichita was a few miles south of Kris. The area we were in was called ban Tao beach. It was a sleepy bayside fishing area that just began offering four star accomodations.
The resort wasn't too shabby with it's three pools, relaxed and quiet atmosphere and the vey attentive staff. I'd say it was more of a 3 and a half star property.
I spent that afternoon exploring the area again by myself and made a few discoveries. There were quite a few shops and restaurants that ran the length of the beach.
Mike and I found the best roadside home restaurant conversion. When we got there we had no idea what to order since there were no menus. We just pointed to what our neighbors had and hoped for the best. What was served was the best fried rice ever.
