Thailand, part III, Koh Phi Phi

A lot of people you ask about Phi Phi island say that it has lost its charm, that it is just a huge construction site today and so on (I am of course refering to Phi Phi before vs. after the tsunami). For those people I have only one question: What charm did you see in it before? The spirit is the same, there are a few more swedes (if at all possible), a litle rubbish stashed in a few random places and a some construction going on. That's it. Nothing else has changed. Well, maybe it has become a little bit more expensive. Charm does not go away with a slight adjustment of the amount of baths you pay for your bungalow.

So far Phi Phi is on my (+) list.
