Things to Do at Phi Phi Islands

The Phi Phi Islands, located in the Andaman Sea between Phuket and Krabi, are among Thailand's most stunning tropical destinations. This archipelago consists of six islands, with Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh being the most famous. Phi Phi Don is the only inhabited island, offering accommodations, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife, while Phi Phi Leh remains uninhabited and pristine, famous for Maya Bay which was featured in the movie 'The Beach' starring Leonardo DiCaprio. These limestone karst islands are renowned for their dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and vibrant coral reefs. The islands offer a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with opportunities for snorkeling, diving, rock climbing, and beach hopping. Despite their popularity, the Phi Phi Islands maintain their natural beauty and continue to be a paradise for travelers seeking tropical perfection in Southeast Asia.

The Phi Phi Islands are accessible only by boat from various departure points. From Krabi, take a ferry from Klong Jilad Pier (1.5-2 hours) or Ao Nang (45 minutes by speedboat). Ferries also operate from Phuket (2 hours), Koh Lanta (1.5 hours), and other nearby islands. Speedboats offer faster but more expensive transportation, while ferries are more economical. During rough seas (monsoon season), services may be limited or cancelled for safety reasons.
