My next stop was Krabi on the East coast of Southern Thailand. The town doesn't offer much else than access to beautiful beaches and islands. While I was there I made a trip to famous Koh Phi Phi. The island where the beautiful beach from the film "The Beach" is located. Although this area of Thailand was heavily affected by the 2004 Tsunami and the dream of a secluded, peaceful beach remains a dream on Koh Phi Phi nowadays due to the masses of tourists and commercialisation, it was great to see it. I was lucky because my tour arrived quite early there so we had a few rather lonely moments there and I could sit down and listen to The Beach - Soundtrack on my Ipod :-)
Apart from that I was experiencing heavy rain once a day in Krabi, went out and met random people. As I don't have a fixed route and can allow myself to be spontaneous, I booked a plane ticket to Taipei for the upcoming days. I thought I should take the chance to visit my friend Melissa in Taiwan as I am quite near right now. And after checking the ticket prices I found that it was much cheaper to take the night bus to Bangkok and fly from there than flying from another destination in the South.

Hey soraya. At first i was like "wtf is this sory?" hahaha. the justification on my blog was mainly for my benefit...to make me feel better abt being self-absorbed :P
Some people are made for traveling, some for traveling alone and others for traveling 5 stars or nothing at all. Reading your entries, I wonder really if I would enjoy traveling alone. Having done it before, I think I much hated the awkwardness of meeting new people, social retard that I am.
The party scene at that place you went sounds awful. No Thais allowed for security reasons? WTF?!
Happy travels!
