Koh Phi Phi

Newest Review: ... one side to the other, there are no roads, just footpaths through the islands, the locals use bicycles to get around a bit quicker. Prices on Phi Phi are a little more expensive than on mainland Thailand, but this is usual for any islands, they have a captive customer. We stayed in a guesthouse called 'Pirates' which was around 600 baht (12 pound) a night for a double room. It had clean, quirky rooms with very nice staff.
