Wow- very well-written article. It reminds me of why I should not aspire to be a travel writer and keep my day job- lots of other people do it better. (And this guy's day job is airline pilot!)

In 2003 when I was planning my wedding, I was on the knot.com a lot and Phi Phi was a popular destination. I can't imagine how so many people in their20s can afford to travel to the South Pacific on their honeymoon. We're not beach people and we spent a spectacular week in St. Petersburg, Russia instead.
