Phi Phi Islands

The Phi Phi Islands are a group of six islands located in Thailand's Andaman Sea. They are renowned for their stunning natural beauty and crystal-clear waters. Only 40 km from Phuket, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh are the two most famous islands of the six. With their pristine waters and vibrant parties, these islands are a wonderful way to spend a few days in Thailand. With four other islands besides the large ones, Phi Phi houses Bida Nok, Bida Nai, and Ko Mai Phai, also known as Bamboo Island. The largest and most developed island, Phi Phi Don, is a bustling hub with lively beach bars, vibrant nightlife, and a variety of accommodations ranging from budget hostels to luxurious resorts. It is popular amongst youngsters, families, and honeymooners alike.Phi Phi Islands became famous after the 2000 Hollywood flick The Beach, which was shot in Ko Phi Phi Le. It is just a short boat ride away from Phi Phi Don. This uninhabited island is a protected national park, offering pristine beaches, dramatic cliffs, and hidden lagoons. It is also famous for diving and snorkeling. Ko Phi Phi Leh houses the "Viking Cave," which is a thriving industry that sells edible bird nests.Phi Phi Island's striking cliffs, white sand beaches with jungles all around and clear blue waters make it look nothing short of paradise. None of the islands has roads, and most of the islands are humanly inhabited, making Phi Phi Islands one of the few untainted beautiful landscapes left in the world. These easily accessible islands can be reached from both Phuket and Krabi by a speedboat in just 45 minutes or by a ferry in 90 minutes.
