Phi Phi islands consist of Ko Phi Phi Don, Ko Phi Phi Ley, Ko
Yung (Mosquito Island) and a few more smaller limestone
rocks.

Phi Phi Don
and the other islands emerged from a small Muslim fishing community
into a prime travel destination due to a real great attractive environment. The
final push to put Phi Phi Islands on the world travel map was for sure the film
making of "The Beach" with Leonardo Di Caprio.
I would say instead of all this manipulated protests against the film
shooting, they should have praised Mr. Di Caprio
and the production team to shoot the film at Phi Phi Ley, Maya Beach is on Phi Phi Ley, for more on this manipulated
"protests" by Thai teachers manipulating the kids protest against the
Maya
Beach film making read here.
The Phi Phi Tsunami cleared almost all structures on Ko Phi Phi Don,
but 2 year later all was restored, up and running.
Cynics say it was a good clean
up
since most of the structures have been real ugly, quickly and cheap put
together.
There is no need to explain a lot, Phi Phi island is great, have a swim, a bath in the sun, maybe a dive in the
emerald sea.
Do
some snorkeling in the warm tropical water around Phi Phi Islands and
have a look for the
fish they are always curious on this 2 leg
black creatures with the air bubbles who try to watch them, the underwater
world is of great beauty.
The area around Phuket,
Phi Phi islands
and the Islands off
the Andaman Sea coast north of Phuket are among the world's top ten
scuba diving locations. Phuket, Phi Phi
islands and the Andaman Sea Coast with archipelagos like Similan
Islands, further north is the Surin Archipelago offer exotic culture, adventure
in the deep blue with sting ray, whale shark, rainbow colored coral
banks, unforgettable food and so on.
Phuket and the Phi
Phi islands have all
the right ingredients for a perfect sun bathing, diving or just
relaxing holiday or vacation, oh, I forgot to tell you there is no
golf course on Ko Phi Phi Don, do you need one ? |

related to: Ko Phi Phi Don, more
content and great Phi Phi
pictures below.
Koh
Phi Phi to
Koh Lipe is to travel about 400 km south west
of Koh Phi Phi in Thailand's Satun Province. If someone wants to go
from Phi Phi Islands to Koh Lipe in the
Tarutao Archipelago you
first need to go to Krabi Town, take a bus to either Satun or Hat
Yai and from there to Bak Para Pier, that's the place where the
ferry for Koh Tarutao and Koh Lipe is leaving.

Jellyfish at Phi Phi, very
seldom. The Marine and Coastal
Resources Department of Thailand
has warned -Nov. 5. 08- of box
jellyfish attacks after the
highly poisonous species was
found off Koh Phi Phi Don in Krabi
province.
|
|
The
box jellyfish is not common in
Thai waters.
The jellyfish has most recently
been spotted at Loh Sama bay at
Koh Phi Phi. Vinegar is the best
solution to reduce pain from a
jellyfish sting before arriving
at the hospital. Water should
not be used, as this increases
the pain

for scuba diving, they come to lay down on the beach and let the sun
do the job.

The Ferry from Phuket leaves every day from
Phuket Rasada Pier, actually there are
many ferries. Some big ones like shown
here and some smaller ones of the speedboat
type. |
Beach Camping at Tarutaro
Archipelago |
Speedboats move faster
and they make a better round
trip, which means you
see more on your travel to
Ko Phi Phi Don, Ko Phi Phi Ley and the other islands in
the small archipelago.
Other ferries are starting at
Krabi Ao
Nang and some hotels at Ko Lanta also
offer day trips to Phi Phi Islands and the
Trang Archipelago.
Ko Phi Phi Don is the island with the
hotels |
|
and other accommodations on it and
you only have the choice to stay there,
there is no regulation like on the Tarutao
Islands
where you can camp on the
beach. |

Before leaving the ferry at the
Ko Phi Phi Don pier they
usually make
a tour to the
most interesting location.
That is Maya Beach, slowly
passing Viking
Cave and some limestone
ravines with small beaches
plus
some other Phi Phi Islands beaches.
After leaving the Phi Phi
ferry
or speedboat and have a
look for
your
Phi Phi hotel. Phi Phi
Islands are a rather small area
and

Ko Phi Phi Don
Longtail Boats |
mainly accessible
by boat because of
the steep limestone
cliffs Phi Phi
Islands more or less consist
of.
Once you settle
in your Ko Phi Phi
Don hotel or resort it might
be useful to hire a longtail
boat and move
around.
The longtail boat guy already
know where to bring you on your
Phi Phi Islands sightseeing trip and
if you want to stop somewhere just tell
him, there are many

don't be shy to tell, since you pay. Don't make
this Phi Phi Islands tour in
the morning, in the morning all
the crowd is around. They
come with everything which swims
from all around southern
Thailand carrying the
tourists from one spot to
another. When you take a longtail boat take
one with a roof, the roof is
quite flimsy anyway but it
protects from the sun. If you
make
your Phi Phi trip without this
shelter you will be badly burnt
from the sun afterwards. |

Islands and the greater area around.
The rest of Krabi Province is to the
east and Phang Nga Province is to the north.
Here is a quick overview about the
greater area around. Just opposite of Ko Phi
Phi Don on the Krabi mainland
side are more great spots to explore, like
the famous
Railay Beach at
Ao Nang and plenty of other.

is Phang Nga Bay.
We
cant show this together because
due to the size of the area the
