Get To Know Koh Phi Phi Islands, Thailand
I couldn’t think of a better description than this – so, to put it in the words of Lonely Planet, “With their curvy, bleached beaches and stunning jungle interiors, Phi-Phi Don and Phi-Phi Leh – collectively known as Koh Phi-Phi – are the darlings of the Andaman Coast. Phi-Phi Don is a hedonistic paradise where visitors cavort by day in azure seas and party all night on soft sand. In contrast, smaller Ko Phi-Phi Leh is undeveloped and hotel-free, its coral reefs and crystal-clear waters, overseen by soaring jagged cliffs, and visited only on the day or sunset cruises.”
Tucked between the bustling tourist hubs of Phuket and Krabi, Koh Phi Phi has surely been popularized by the movies and documentaries that have been shot here and for years now, this cluster of islands has become a favorite destination for travelers because of the legendary nightlife, laid-back vibes and, of course, the stunning islands including the mysterious Maya Bay.
Located at a distance of about 43 KM west from Krabi coast, towards Southern Thailand, this small archipelago consists of six islands – Koh Phi Phi Don, Koh Phi Phi Leh, Koh Bida Nok, Koh Bida Nai, Koh Phai (Bamboo Island), and Koh Young (Mosquito Island). However, the only inhabited island – and the largest one in the group is Koh Phi Phi Don, where you’ll find all the fancy resorts and budget hotels, backpacker’s hostels, night markets, tattoo parlors, street food stalls, fine dining restaurants and much more!
