Arrived in Koh Phi Phi on Wednesday afternoon and stayed for 48 hours, its a very nice island and had some very good times, but
game wise it was a disaster!
Hotels: I stayed at RS guest house and paid 900B, decent room and a great location, about 300 meters from the best beach bars, the hotel is about 30 meters from the beach.
Food: We weren't very impressed with the food, for whatever reason, each meal we ate left us less than impressed. We at at Matt's Joint once, they have an all you can eat BBQ but we didn't partake, we had some Mexican food there and it sucked.
Random Info: There are no motorized vehicles on Phi Phi, only bicycles, be careful when walking down the side streets as people on bikes pass by you, its like Amsterdam there with all of the bicycles.
There's no dogs on the island, from what we saw anyway, but there are lots of cats,
tons of pussy in Koh Phi Phi, I don't think I've ever seen so many hot young girls prancing around in bikinis as I did in Phi Phi, I basically had a hard on the entire time I was there.
Tourist crowd: More back packers than I expected, I thought the higher prices would have kept them away but there's some cheap accommodations (hostels, etc) that lure them in. LOTS of Scandinavians, quite a few Russians, and your run-of-the-mill western tourists. Actually saw one large group of package holiday Russian families and another large group of Indian families.
Bars: We went out both nights, first night we hit up
slinky's which is the the
best club on Phi Phi, its right on the beach and it was packed both nights. They had fire skip rope and fire limbo on the beach with lots of drunk people participating, they also have a mechanical bull and sell laughing gas (whippets) at the bar. There's also a big concrete penis in the sand, right beside the dance floor which attracts quite a bit of attention.
Ibiza: Just down from Slinky's this place had a decent crowd on Thursday, same concept as Slinkys (they also have a giant concrete dick in the sand), actually, there's about half a dozen bars along the beach there and they are all basically the same, but Slinky's attracts the biggest crowd.
Banana Bar: THC and I went there because these two cute English girls handed us a flyer earlier in the day, it seemed like a promising place:
rooftop patio (the only one in Phi Phi), cheap booze, beer pong, mexican food, etc. So we went at around 6:30 to watch the sunset (I know, how bromantic), there wasn't a big crowd but the set up was really cool, a funky little spot. However, 90% of the people there were hippy backpackers with dreadlocks and Che Guevara tees on, so we bounced. They sell weed there and you can openly smoke it, no shisha though, hence our departure.
Reggae Bar:
best bar I've been to in Asia, now there isn't anything particularly reggae about this joint, they played hip hop the entire time I was there (which was cool), the part I liked was the fact that they have a Muay Thai ring inside the place and if people from the audience fight, they get a
free bucket! What a great concept, tourists get shit faced and beat the living crap out of each other!
Little story: So THC, his missus and I rolled into the reggae bar at around 11pm, the place was packed and we ordered our buckets, 2 for 1 deal (at 700B, it wasn't much of a deal but they were quality buckets). There was a steady flow of tourists participating in the fights to get their free buckets, THC and I tossed around the idea of fighting but decided against it. It was very tempting though given the appalling skills of the participants and who wouldn't want to beat the lights out of a grubby backpacker?
I was half done my bucket (first drink of the night) and relatively sober when a tiny Thai guy approached me and asked to fight, when I say tiny, I mean this guy was about 5'0 and 110 Lbs, I'm short as fuck myself (5'4) but had about 40-50 Lbs on this guy. I wasn't sure if I wanted to fight but THC egged me on so I said
fuck it, I'll do it for the bucket! I told the guy to wait ten minutes, I didn't want to use the gear all of the stinky backpackers were using so I went back to my hotel and grabbed my gloves, hand wraps and shorts, threw them in my bag, then went back. When I walked in, the Thai guy all of a sudden didn't want to fight me, so he paired me up with this Russian guy, who was about my weight but a good five inches taller and was probably about eight years younger. I say okay, lets do this then the guy sizes me up and decides that he doesn't want to fight, I was disappointed but no big deal, I sat down and proceeded to drink my bucket. Then about two minutes later, the Russian kid says he wants to fight (I think his gf was busting his balls), so I say okay, dropped my drawers and threw on the Muay Thai shorts and started wrapping my hands, then he comes over and says that he won't fight me, fuck, no free bucket for me. The crowd was thinning out and no one else wanted to fight me, maybe next time, THC and I are starting to train Muay Thai again today (after a three month break) and are seriously considering going back to Reggae Bar to test out our skills.
Lesson learned: If you want to get in the ring and destroy a back packer, wear your Muay Thai shorts underneath your pants and keep your back pack and gloves hidden from others, don't bust that shit out until the last second when the stinky drunken back packer is already in the ring, then it'll be too late for him to puss out. Also hope to God that the smelly backpacker isn't an under cover Muay Thai champion, or it will be you getting your ass handed to you, which could easily happen to yours truly if we go back to Reggae bar, I'll keep you guys posted.
Koh Phi Phi Game: As I mentioned above, I fucking blew it with the ladies. The first night was decent, I was in a good mood but wasn't aggressive enough, I could have easily banged this English one but I ended up talking to her for too long, then THC told me to step up my game and I continued, but fucked it up with about three more girls before calling it quits. The second night was terrible, I just couldn't seem to get to an optimal level of drunkeness, I really wasn't feeling it and didn't do many approaches early on. Finally at around 2:30, I made some last ditch efforts, chatted with some Euro girls, a Brit then this South Asian American girl, but got clock blocked by one of her friends, decided to say fuck it and went home empty handed, again, for fuck sakes!
Then we arrived in Phuket last night and met up with RVF member Soma, cool Canadian dude and another forum member from the States. We rolled out to the skanky bars in Patong and we all got pretty drunk, we even had a little drinking session in an alleyway where we drank cheap Thai whiskey and red bull before hitting up some clubs. I think we all pulled, I really have the shoring skanks game down pat (yeah I know, what an accomplishment), but I really have to work on my
beach party game, I really want to nail and big boobed Swedish girl.
