    Overview

    The Phi Phi Islands in Thailand are a popular destination for travelers seeking stunning natural beauty and relaxation. Located in the Andaman Sea, these islands are part of Krabi Province and are known for their clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and dramatic limestone cliffs. The archipelago consists of six islands, with Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh being the most famous. Phi Phi Don is the only inhabited island, offering a range of accommodations, restaurants, and shops. Visitors can enjoy activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, and rock climbing, making it a great spot for both adventure and leisure.

    Phi Phi Leh is renowned for its picturesque Maya Bay, which gained global fame after being featured in a Hollywood film. This uninhabited island offers a more serene experience with its lush vegetation and crystal-clear waters. Tours often include visits to other attractions like Viking Cave and Pileh Lagoon. The islands are accessible by ferry or speedboat from Phuket or Krabi, with regular services available.
