Speed boat means you spend more time at the destination but can be very uncomfortable. I have done more boat rides around Ko Chang, Maak, Kood, Wai but I have been on a few speedboats, Phuket to Phi Phi/Krabi and a slow boat Phuket to Phang Nga bay (Siam Sea Canoe). The last one much more pleasant than the speed boat. Speed is ok for short distances but can be grueling on the long haul.

Sit toward the back. The front and outside front looks nice to start but it will beat you silly up there with…

Hi! We stayed at Bay View Last week. Beautiful cabins and our room (309) had a great view too. However, for your honeymoon I would say the new huts at The Beach Resort on Long Beach are the finest. We stayed in their old bungalows, which was ok, but you want to stay in their new, very spacious bungalows, huge balconies and insane views. The new ones are more expensive (peak season 6500 i think) than Bay View (4400) but since you'll be there in May the rates should be a lot lower. They have a…

They also have dorm rooms for 300B per person.

Behind the Junceylon Mall, all their rooms have TV and AirCon.

PM me if you want the contact info.

for you first time in Asia, Thailand is definitely the better pick. It's just a lot more user-friendly and with better infrastructure. It's also better value for money. Having said that I'm in the Philippines at the moment. Compared to Thailand, there's just next to no tourists at all in the Philippines at any time, even Christmas.

My flight does not arrive into Bangkok until 2 pm on June 4th. From Bangkok, I can fly to Phuket or Krabi, but neither get in before the last ferry leaves for the Phi Phi Islands. Any recommendation as to which city is best to leave from if I plan to catch the first ferry in the morning to Koh Phi Phi Don?
