Before you go

Koh Phi Phi at a glance

Six limestone islands in the Andaman Sea, about 46 km southeast of Phuket. Only Phi Phi Don is lived on; its village, Ton Sai, sits on a sandy neck between two bays. Most people come for the beaches, snorkeling and boat trips to Phi Phi Le and Maya Bay.

Known for

  • Maya Bay อ่าวมาหยา

    Cliff-ringed bay on Phi Phi Le made famous by the film The Beach; boats land at Loh Samah Bay behind it.

  • Phi Phi Viewpoint จุดชมวิวเกาะพีพี

    Lookouts above Ton Sai reached by a steep stairway of about 340 steps, with the view over both bays.

  • Loh Dalum Bay อ่าวโละดาลัม

    Shallow, curved bay on the north side of the village; calm at high tide, beach bars and fire shows after dark.

  • Ton Sai Village บ้านต้นไทร

    The car-free village between Ton Sai and Loh Dalum bays, where the ferries land and most shops and stays are.

  • Pileh Lagoon อ่าวปิเละ

    Enclosed lagoon on Phi Phi Le, a regular stop on boat tours along with Viking Cave and snorkeling spots.

Getting there

No airport on the islands. From Phuket Airport, go to Rassada Pier near Phuket Town; ferries take about 2 h and speedboats about 1 h to Ton Sai Pier. From Krabi Airport, go to Klong Jilad Pier in Krabi Town; ferries take about 1 h 30 min. Boats also run from Ao Nang (Nopparat Thara Pier, about 2 h by ferry) and Ko Lanta. Visitors pay a small island fee on arrival at Ton Sai Pier.

Getting around

On foot: Phi Phi Don has no cars, and goods move by push cart. Long-tail boats and tour boats go to other beaches and to Phi Phi Le.

When to go

Roughly January to April is the hot, drier season; February is the driest month. The southwest monsoon brings rain and rougher seas from about May, with July the wettest month. Maya Bay closes to visitors every year from 1 August to 30 September.

Local tip

Climb to the viewpoint early in the morning, when it is quiet. If you stay for sunset, go well before it, and bring a flashlight and mosquito repellent for the walk down.
