Moo Koh Phi Phi

Moo Koh Phi Phi or Phi Phi Islands towering of green cliffs, rising up from a glittering turquoise sea, and endless white sandy bays dotted along the shore, and you begin to have some idea of what awaits you. Add crystal clear water, no roads and a tropical laid back lifestyle, and it's easy to see why Phi Phi is one of southern Thailand's most popular destinations.

Approximately for 40 km offshore from Krabi are the scenic two limestone islands of Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh. Phi Phi Don, the larger island, has all the tourist infrastructure, including resorts, restaurants, bars, tour agencies and dive schools. About 6km south, Ko Phi Phi Leh is completely undeveloped and hemmed in by towering limestone cliffs.

Moo Koh Phi Phi are well known as the 'jewels of the Andaman Sea', the six islands in the Ko Phi Phi group are Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Leh, Bamboo Island, Yung Island, Bida Nok and Bida Nai.

As most of the world knows, in December 2004 Phi-Phi Don's fortunes were tragically reversed by tsunami waves that destroyed virtually every standing structure on the twin bays of Ao Ton Sai and Ao Lo Dalam. Most things are back to normal and Phi Phi still has that laidback charm as before.

Phi Phi Islands can be reached by boat either from Krabi or Phuket. In downtown Krabi tourists can take a boat at Chaofa pier. The boat leaves daily for Phi Phi Islands. It takes about 2 and 1/2 hours for the journey. Regular boats from Ao Nang to Ko Phi Phi are also available during high season. Ferry services make return trips twice daily departing from Phuket, the journey taking about one hour forty five minutes. A regular ferry service from Koh Lanta direct to Phi Phi also operates in high season.

Phi Phi Don Island

The largest island of the group offers a backdrop of sheer limestone cliffs and a stage of sandy beaches dotted all around the island. There are no roads on the island so to get around you simply take a long tail boat, or walk along the pathway that criss-crosses Tonsai Bay. In the centre of Tonsai Bay, you'll find most of the accommodation as well as some resorts on the more secluded beaches around the island. Phi Phi Don has an abundance of fine tropical beaches along its southern and eastern shores, with plenty of limestone karsts offering spectacular views of the islands. Boats generally unload their passengers at a fishing village on Ton Sai Bay, protected on one side by steep, jungle limestone cliffs, and the other by low hills.
