Phiphiphilia

Phiphiphilia: noun. An immense addiction or attraction to the Thai Phi Phi Islands. Phiphiphilia was a major mass-mania psychological occurrence that happened in the last century when Thailand was experiencing a touristic boom. The invention of the word dates back to that time when His Majesty, King Phrabat Somdej Phra Paramindra Maha Bhumibol Adulyadej Mahitaladhibet Ramadhibodi Chakrinarubodindara Sayamindaradhiraj Boromanatbophit, wrote a letter to one of his secretaries in the capital city, Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit, saying that the newly discovered phiphiphilia was a gift from heaven. After a rapid destruction of the Thai ecosystem though, phiphiphilia gradually sunk into something more like phiphiambivalence and authorities are working very hard at the time not to let it get as far as phiphiphobia
