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.

There's an island hopping trip for like 1000 baht. .now low season...
But I guess I might just take a boat there and stay the night?

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

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?

Thanks for the offer but never mind Richard. I was with a friend from the hostel biking, about but I did visit that beach briefly on the way to Surin.
