if your up for a laugh and dont mind falling off things, the challenge phanghan is the place for you!! you get to test your balance and fitness through an obstacle course that is great fun. we went on the day of the full moon party to pass the time as we thought the beaches would be very busy.

Day 10 Itinerary
Places visited: Koh Nang Yuan
Koh Nang Yuan
a wee trip to the small island of koh nang yuan when we were staying at koh tao to get the best sea for snorkelling (or so we were told) but it didn’t disappoint! the sea was very clear and i managed to see a lot of different kinds of fish!
Day 11 Itinerary
Places visited: Phi Phi Viewpoint 1 - Phi Phi Viewpoint 2
Phi Phi Viewpoint 1
once you manage to get yourself up the stairs of death, you find these spectacular views!! would recommend going to the viewpoint in the morning as with the climb and the heat you become very hot and very sweaty. there was a nice cafe offering fruit shakes and other refreshments at the top if you forgot to climb with water which was a savour for me :)
Phi Phi Viewpoint 2
Day 12 Itinerary
Places visited: Grand PP Arcade - pirates house restaurant
Grand PP Arcade
the breakfast here was insane!! the full menu layout looked incredible i didnt know what to pick it all looked so good (so we went back the next day for lunch). reasonably priced and very fresh food
pirates house restaurant
another restaurant we just had to visit more than once! the choices on the menu were wide and varied and there are still things i wish i had (although the food i got was very nice). they had live music most nights too which really added to the atmosphere of pirates house.
Day 13 Itinerary
Places visited: Monkey Beach - Pileh Lagoon
Monkey Beach
this place unfortunately did not live up to its name :(. on the day we visited there were no monkeys about, but the beach was beautiful! we ended up spying the monkeys on a nearby rocks and a smaller beach but as it was our last stop on the boat tour we ran out of time and couldnt get off to go see them
Pileh Lagoon
wow!!! this place is magical, we went here early in the morning to avoid all the busy tourist boats and when you hear how quiet the lagoon is when the boat engine turns off and theres no one else about - surreal.

Dragon Crest (Khuan Sai)
a morning climb that we were unsure would be worth it when we struggling up the mountain, but were completly wrong when we reached the top and saw these views!! my first visit to anywhere in asia so the landscape is so different to anything im used to, it was amazing to see so so far into the inland and over the andaman sea
