Introduction
Backpackers go dewy-eyed at the drop dead gorgeous island gem, Koh Phi Phi, with it’s translucent waters, jutting limestone cliffs and perfect white sandy shores. There is no doubting it is one of the most beautiful spots in Thailand.
Koh Phi Phi is actually made up of two separate islands, Phi Phi Leh and Phi Phi Don. Phi Phi Leh is the uninhabited National Marine Park where you can take a long tail boat to explore ‘The Beach’ (Maya Bay) made famous by Leonardo Di Caprio in the Hollywood version of Alex Garland’s epic novel. Phi Phi Don is the main ‘traveller’ hub packed with travel agents, hotels, restaurants and bars. Wherever you are on the island you’re just a kayak ride away from a beautiful deserted beach.
And that’s not all; there’s rock climbing, cliff jumping, amazing snorkeling, awesome dive sites and many other adventures can be had on this beautiful island paradise. And, when the sun goes down it’s party time as the beach fills with revelers enjoying music, fire shows and buckets a-plenty!
