An excerpt:

"We decided to do our bit by giving custom to lots of restaurants, shops, doing some excellent diving with a local dive operator, and we even encouraged investment by upgrading our rooms to a plush air conditioned job. (our original room hadnt been redecorated since Dec 26th, and had Full Moon Party - still going strong at dawn Full Image
an ugly water line about 5 foot from the floor - not a nice reminder!). We also took a boat trip to neighbouring uninhabited Phi Phi Ley, where the huge cliffs tower around a secluded bay, and a stunning beach. This is where they filmed "The Beach" a few years ago, and it was certainly jaw droppingly lovely. "
