Oh Koh Phi Phi, What have you become?
I’ve just returned from a (very) short gaycation on the tragic remains of Koh Phi Phi, last seen by me in the early 2000s when I was young, flexible, and hadn’t yet developed opinions about cutlery. Babes, I was not ready. Not emotionally, not physically, not spiritually. The second I step off the boat, I’m greeted by two shirtless twinks in knockoff Prada screaming “20 baht, 20 baht help protect island” like a pair of bankrupt drag queens selling raffle tickets at a Pride afterparty. Naturally, I paid. I’ll hand over cash to anyone who looks good sweaty. Call it a hobby. Later I found out from one of the local rent boys, let’s call him Minty, that none of that cash was going to protect anything. The island looked like a cheap wig left out in a hurricane. Trash everywhere. Broken boards. It was like Fyre Festival but with worse lighting. And the hassle. “Hey man where you go?” “Sexy man you need taxi boat?” “Taxi boat give you big fun.” I thought I’d fallen into some kind of cracked out gay immersive theatre. At one point I genuinely wondered if I was going to get bundled into a longtail boat and sold as a pool boy to a retired German leather daddy. Honestly? Tempting. But the trauma wasn’t over yet. I turn the corner, BAM, the golden arches. McDonald’s. Right there in front of me like the ghost of heterosexual mediocrity past. I almost projectile vomited into my limited edition Tom of Finland beach bag. If I wanted processed meat with dead eyes I’d go back to dating English bankers. Back in 2002 this place was paradise. Little beach shacks serving mystery noodles, gorgeous local boys serving mystery glances, and cocktails that could melt nail polish. Now? It’s credit card machines, influencer trash, and overpriced sadness. Want to swim? 600 baht. Want to pose for Instagram with a cocktail that tastes like floor cleaner? Another 600. Need to relieve yourself after that cocktail disaster? 10 baht to piss. I’ve paid less to get into orgies. And then, as if the gods were mocking me personally, the chanting began. Echoing through the humid air. No more pork, babes. I used to come here for a pork curry and a scandal. Now it’s just halal disappointment and unscented wet wipes. Somewhere deep in my memory I could hear the faint echo of my ex moaning through a mouthful of masaman. Not anymore. By the time I reached 7 Eleven I was broken. 20 baht for a water the size of my patience. Coffee prices that made me clutch my pearls so hard they almost shattered. And don’t get me started on the tourists. It was like Love Island exploded onto a rugby pitch and landed in my line of vision. Shirtless Essex lads, lips filled with filler, tattoos drawn by someone with a head injury, all posing like Greek gods but smelling like foot. Honestly, I haven’t seen that many bad haircuts since Eurovision 2007. Phi Phi, you are still beautiful, like an ageing cabaret singer with glitter in the wrinkles and vodka in her soul. Your beaches make me tingle. Your cliffs still make me hard. But the vibe is over. It’s tacky now. Cheap handbags in a posh shop. Pride parade with no DJ. Ibiza but with worse teeth. One more cockney accent and I’m flinging myself off a limestone cliff in nothing but a neon thong, shouting “Tell Cher I tried.” Rant over. The Dink.
