I'm sure it's beautiful... but look where it's located at? I wouldn't feel safe going there... just do a little research on in-fighting in Thailand's southern provinces. Majority is Muslim down there and there have been lots of fighting/bombing/killings.
Check out Phi Phi Island travel brochure, pictures, video, etc... I've been there and it's not like what they promote. It's just average like any other Island and beach.
Some places might not be as glamorous as in pictures or videos but I believed this place is pretty nice just like the video because it's in the wild surrounded by mountains. I've traveled oversea before and some of the places I've seen in pictures are just as beautiful in person. Besides, it's not just for the beautiful places, it's also for the different experience of being in another place and environment.
You're too negative. I think you're those type who doesn't really care for outdoor adventures, sceneries, etc. If you go traveling it's for other more specific reasons.
Besides I just like the place in the video, I don't literally meant to go out there. I agreed with you, Thailand or Laos jungle expedition is not the safest most comfortable idea. But these folks are not scared, they want adventure they don't think about what might possibley happened to them. However, I'm sure it's pretty safe if you go in a large group with tourist guides, otherwise they wouldn't keep going to these places.
