Koh Phi Phi, Summer 2016
After missing the last ferry the day before, Rosie and I managed to get out to the Phi Phi islands where bought pre-rolled joints from the bars on the beach and met a lot of cats. The next morning at breakfast, we were hustled onto a longboat out to "The Beach" on Koh Phi Phi Leh. As soon as the shore disappeared from the horizon, the bosslady took off her hijab and shook out her hair in the sea breeze. There was extra space on the boat so she had taken her two teenaged sons along for the trip and insisted we take photos with them pretending to be their foreign girlfriends. At lunchtime, the captain pulled out a handmade bamboo bong and chopped up some weed that tasted like the pineapples he had just carved with the same knife.
