About Phi Phi Islands

Koh Phi Phi - more than meets the eye...

Though considered to be one of the most naturally beatiful islands in the world (says Wikipedia) - the Phi Phi Islands is more than that. Places to see and things to do are abundant on PP and there is no excuse for beach lazing (ah, well...). Check out the related links on the right to read up on the activities.

Beach on Phi Phi IslandsReal enthusiasts or those out for a little adventure should of course try the scuba diving at one of the numerous dive shops on the island. Phi Phi Islands is considered to be one of the world's finest dive sites.

Koh Phi Phi Don is the larger of the two islands and resembles a (slightly weird) butterfly with wings of white-sand beaches and jungle mountains curving around the two bays Ao Ton Sai and Ao Loh Dalum . Boats from Phuket and Krabi dock daily in Ao Ton Sai.
The western cliff section, Koh Nawk, is pretty much inaccessible with a few tidal beaches along Ton Sai wall and Wang Long on the western face. The eastern section, Koh Nai , is much larger and houses the majority of the accommodation, shops and bars.

Koh Phi Phi Ley is the jewel in PP's crown. Unhabited, and almost all sheer cliffs covered in lush vegetation with three main bays (Ao Maya, Loh Samah and Ao Pi Leh) and the Viking Cave all worth a visit.
Ao Maya was the stage for the filming of The Beach and whilst there are no man-eating sharks the bay is as beautiful in real life as it is in the film.

Getting to Phi Phi Islands is through one of three main ferry routes, from Krabi Town , Phuket and Koh Lanta (though there also are services from Railay Beach and Ao Nang). Speedboats can be chartered in advance for a bumpier yet quicker and more exhilarating crossing.
