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. My friend 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. (Go to see picture of Leonardo and Virginie Click here)

This is the picture 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.

The picture of the beach before they came to shoot.

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.

We are going back to Phuket by speed boat.
