I know this doesn’t count as food but it’s definitely a gastronomical post. I saw these little buckets stacked with tiny bottles of spirits, which I thought was Thailand’s weird way of tagging liquor prices. Then we saw a bunch of people sipping from some strangely familiar buckets, hmm.
After some shopping around, we decide to settle for the 400 Baht - Ballantine’s Whiskey + Red Bull + Coca Cola combo!!
Looks awesome, huh. We were kinda of sipping it slowly until someone came up with the idea of a drinking game using Koo Chi Par (For you Singaporeans, Chi Par Koo) !!! Finished it in less than 5 minutes … brutal.

The last place you expect big rocks for climbing is on an island … but Ko Phi Phi offers some of the best in the world. It’s an odd feeling walking on the beach with mountaineering gear.
We started off on a 5 climb (French difficulty rating) for 5 metres. She got so impressed at our pace that we got put on a 25 metre climb next !!
This looks easy right? Well, I placed this photo on the wrong side. Tilt your head 90 degrees to the right to see what we were actually going through !!! It’s mad!

We went to Ko Phi Phi through Krabi. It’s hard to see what effect the tsunami had on this island because everything has already been rebuilt, even more than pre-tsunami I heard. There’s construction everywhere~
In terms of pure scenic value, I don’t think anything in Malaysia comes close, Ko Phi Phi is truly a paradise!! I’ve never seen water that green and blue before, with water so clean that the longtail boats seem to be floating midair.
Finally a group shot of the Rat Pack.
