PHI PHI ISLAND Thailand

Roughly half way between Krabi and Phuket by ferry is this small island with an amazing town entirely chriscrossed with laneways full of stalls and shops and I didn't see any cars or trucks. Its built on and isthmus of sand between rock. It was swept away by a tidal wave in 2004 but has been rebuilt . On a nearby island is Maya Beach which was the place where The Beach was filmed . It seems to now have a cult following with young people and heaps of people come here, We stayed 2 nights and it was fun but don't stay at the Orange Tree, I don't know how it could get a 9.4 rating from Agoda!
