Beaches, Boats, and Breathtaking Views: Phi Phi Islands Highlights 🇹🇭 🏝️
The Phi Phi Islands are a group of beautiful islands off the coast of Phuket. They are famous for their dramatic landscape, turquoise waters, and party atmosphere. The islands are easily accessible from both Phuket and Krabi, with numerous ferries operating each day. Here are my recommendations for a 3 day stay on the Phi Phi Islands:
1️⃣ Viewpoints and Beaches:
Hike to the Phi Phi Viewpoint at sunset for incredible panoramic views of the island below. Entry to the viewpoint is 50 Baht but it’s definitely worth it. Elsewhere on the island you’ll find stunning beaches such as Long Beach. Long Beach can be reached by a short jungle walk from Tonsai Pier or, during low tide, you can follow the beaches until you reach the tranquil Long Beach.
2️⃣ Snorkeling and Diving
Explore crystal-clear waters filled with colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. Popular spots like Loh Samah Bay and Hin Klang are perfect for snorkeling, while certified divers can enjoy guided scuba trips to deeper reefs and underwater caves. Many of the tours leaving from the island will include snorkeling making it a safe and guided experience for newbies.
3️⃣ Maya Bay
See the famous Maya Bay with its turquoise waters and towering cliffs. Kayak through hidden lagoons and visit Viking Cave for unique sights and great photo opportunities. Join one of the many tours or hire a private long-tail boat to see the natural beauty surrounding the Phi Phi Islands.
*Tip*
Before heading out, check that Maya Bay is opened as the Thai government close the area to tourists throughout the year to allow the ecosystem to replenish itself.
