Phuket recommended beaches n stuff

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

I've got fond memories of Phi Phi. The view from the top of the hill looking over the sliver of sand connecting the two main land masses was nice, although it's been some years now since I was there and I imagine development has spoiled that uniqueness somewhat.

Head north to Khao Lak - nine beaches along 25 km of the Andaman coast. Stay at Bang La On or Bang Niang.
You could be next.

Haven't been to phi phi since '88, Its was totaled in 2005 during the Tsunami so its all rebuilt and from what i hear not nice at all. Rent a bike an head up the west coast, laguna area, Layan beach are beautiful.
Koh Lanta is nice during the off season but not much happening there. Never cared for Khao Lak, its just one road down the center with nice resorts on the beach of thats what your looking for
How about head to Khao Sok and stay near the water in tree house?
