Btw Phi Phi was the first place westerners (French) climbed in Thailand and what is probably the first bolted route in the country is on the tower:
Latitude 8 (5+) 15m
FA Dolby Monet, Wilfried Colonna 14/11/1987
Crap route, but historic in its way. Don't worry, the bolts have been replaced.
Maybe if a Pom had discovered the place it would be all bad natural pro and headpointing now (and no-one would go).
