Today we got up early again because we
wanted to go to Phi Phi Le Island to take some pictures of the
beach they used to make the film. We went there with Sarah Clark
(Film Publicist) and Ross Palmer (Greensman). We went there by
speed boat, it took about forty-five minutes to get there. When
we got there, we walked on the beach and took some photos. It
was really nice and beautiful. Then we walked to that place they
made the film. We went by bare foot because it was easier but
it was really hot on our feet. When we got there, we walked around
and took some pictures. Then we went back to Phuket and the hotel.
In the afternoon, we went to Hat Surin
to watch them making the film. We saw Leonardo and Virginie too. Richard had a problem with Leonardo's bodyguard because he
tried to take a picture of Leonardo, Virginie and the director.
But I took some pictures of Leonardo and Virginie to show you.
These are pictures of the beach
they used to make The Beach movie on Phi Phi Le Island. Everyone
knows it as "Maya Bay". The notice board tells about don't
climb the dunes and they made an entrance way to go over too.
We went over this way.
We are standing at the walk way
and we thought the beach was more cleaner than before because
the people who made the movie helped to clean it.
Phong and me are standing at the
back of island where Leonardo arrived here every day. And on
the right is the way to go in the bay. This picture will be in
the movie too but we will not see the way to come in. They will
paint over it.
There is only one shop on this
beach. Everything there was very expensive (because it is on
the island). We went there to buy some drinks and snacks. Picture
on the right is Ross buying some water.
