Bangkok, Phi Phi, Bangkok......home

Posted by calumfife | 2nd February 2008

Turned out the last leg of travel from Chiang Mai to Phi Phi was probably one of the worst yet, taking 22 hours all in all. We took an overnight bus from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, which neither of us slept on. We then took an airport bus to the airport to catch a flight to Krabi, where we took a fancy minivan which was supposed to take us to the pier to catch a ferry to the island. However we were instead taken to a travel agent 5 km short of the pier, where we were told we had to buy a ticket for the boat at a seemingly overinflated price. I cracked at that point, and there was a bit of shouting and f'ing and blinding between me and the scary lady at the travel agency, who knew an impressive number of swear words in English. To cut a long story short we managed to get the taxi guy to take us all the way to the pier, where it turned out the price for the ferry was exactly the same, however, I was glad we weren't giving it to the woman.
