Early last night it rained just a little but no-one rushed for cover - ther refreshing coolness of 15 mins of light rain was the perfect antidote to the blazing sun and heat of the day.
Phi Phi right now is unusually quiet - i guess because of all thats going on in the rest of the world, with volcanic and monetary crisises coupled with the political unstability in Bangkok, but smaller numbers certainly don't mean boring nights. The parties in the bars and the gatherings on the beach (until the dawn) are just more intimate; travellers and locals sharing stories and jamming with bongos, didgeridoo and guitars. The banter in several languages at once and the sheer fun of freestyle rapping. Hard to go home and sleep on nights like these.
So if you are travelling with an instrument or if you have a story to tell, come here now!
