Ko Phi Phi is a small archipelago in Krabi Province, Southern Thailand. The named islands are:
Ko Phi Phi Don, the largest and only populated island.
Ko Phi Phi Leh (also known as Ko Phi Phi Lai), a smaller island to the south, popularised when parts of the movie "The Beach" were filmed there. Uninhabited apart from bird nest harvesters and a few Maya Bay wardens; expect plenty of tourists during daylight hours, especially in Maya Bay, the beach of the eponymous movie.
Ko Phai ('Bamboo Island'), a small low-lying islet to the north of Phi Phi Don with several good beaches.
Ko Yung (Yung Island) is north of Ko Phi Phi Don. The island has a stone beach in the east and small sandy beaches at the foot of the hills. It is teeming with various kinds of colourful coral reefs.
Bida Nok and Bida Nai, two small adjacent limestone karsts to the south of Phi Phi Leh, with near-vertical cliff walls rising from the sea.
Although rapidly becoming less and less attractive due to the masses of tourists as well as the construction on the island, it's still a very beautiful place to visit, and is one of those places everybody should go at least once in their lifetime. Although the beaches are not the best in Thailand, the place has a good vibe and nightlife and there are 18 dive shops to choose from.
Places Of Interest
When it comes to sightseeing around "The Twins", you can look at sand, sea and more sand. Yes Sir, Phi Phi Island is a place to relax your time away either rock climbing - looking down on the beach, scuba diving - looking up at the beach, or sun bathing, actually on 'THE' beach!
Ao Maya - "The Beach"
Koh Phi Phi is home of "The Beach", that rather crap movie starring Leonardo Di Cappucino! Although Ao Maya is Phi Phi's best stretch of the golden stuff, other beaches are also pretty good. Tonsai, Lanah Bay to name just a couple are as good as any beach in the south.
Khao Tapoo - "James Bond Island"
Still on the subject of movies, a certain 007 film was made in these parts. "The Man With The Golden Gun", starring Roger Moore & Christopher Lee, has it's final scene at Khao Tapoo. Remember when the top of the famous rock opens up? Well, here it is!
