RECOMMENDED MINIMUM 3 DAYS TO TURN THE ISLAND (EAST COAST , NUI BAY ) AND SEE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES (LONG BEACH, LO DALUM BAY) AND PHI PHI VIEW POINT.

Phi Phi island

Ton Sai Bay pier

Where you take the Ao Nang Princess ferry to go to Krabi (you arrive at the Ao Nang Pier).

Ao Nang Princess

Ton Sai Bay

Starting point to go to see the beaches of the east coast of Phi Phi islandd (Tong beach, Ba Kao beach , Rantee beach, Moo Dee beach , Long beach). Private longtail boat can be rented for a certain number of hours. The cost varies according to hours. (for example 3 h 1400 BATH, 4 h 1700 BATH, to book tickets recommended travel agency on the site located in front of the Ice Bar.)

Ton Sai bay

Lo Dalum Bay

In the morning beautiful bay, water with shades of blue color. Bar, resort on the beach. You can easily put yourself on the beach to sunbathe. There is also a resort on the beach that rents sunbeds. Starting point to go to see Nui Bay, Monkey beach ... Recommended to book your boat trip directly to the boatmen on the beach (for example 2 hours, Nui bay, 1000 Bath).

Lo Dalum bay

The land between the two bays (Ton Sai Bay and Lo Dalum Bay) is occupied by resorts, guest houses, restaurants, shops. All rebuilded after tsunami. Here it is recommended to have a hotel.

Nui Bay

Take the private longtail boat from Lo Dalum Bay (1000 Bath about 2 hours). Book directly the boat trip to the boatman you find on the beach. Recommended to go early in the morning (departure time 9h00 from Lo Dalum Bay because then it fills up with people). Small but very nice bay. Water with shades of blue. Ideal for snorkeling . Some say it's more beautiful than Maya Bay. Really very beautiful. Unfortunately we can not say if more beautiful than Maya Bay because we have not had the chance to go and see it (still closed and do not know when they open it). There is nothing on this beach (no bars, no restaurants).

Nui bay

Maya Bay

Unfortunately we haven’t seen Maya Bay because it is still closed, they do not know when they open it to tourists.

Thong Beach **

The beach is on the long thin peninsula that juts north of Phi Phi Don, facing Krabi province some 20 kilometres to the East. This beach is mostly very quiet, with a few longtail boats coming and going through the day. They don't stay for long, and don't disturb the peace very much. The sand is fine and soft. The water is always clear here

Thong beach

Bakao beach ***

Palm trees on the beach.The water blue turquoise and the sand fine and white. Here you can snorkel and spend a wonderful day also if you don’t stay in the resort.

Ba Kao beach

Rantee Beach ****

It is not a particularly well-known beach on Koh Phi Phi and here you can find some peace and quiet away from the chaos of the island . Water blue turquoise and palm-trees and other trees on the beach.

Rantee beach

Moo Dee Bay (Loh Moo Dee in Thai) *****

A long white sand beach bordered by emerald waters. Situated on the east coast of Koh Phi Phi Don, it is the perfect escape from the crowd .Moo Dee Beach can be reached on foot from Tonsai East along a 1km path starting behind Bay View Resort; and from the path starting at the bottom of Phi Phi Viewpoint. A less tiring way to get there is to hire a long-tail boat near Tonsai jetty, which will take you to Moo Dee in about 15mn for a fee of 150/200 baht (you must test your bargaining skill). Moo Dee Beach is really quiet and relaxing in the morning. The beach offers its visitors pleasant snorkelling opportunities, mostly at both ends of the bay.

Long Bay *

The most beautiful beach sea point is that of the Viking Resort where you can also snorkel from the shore. Water with shades of blue (I don’t recommend to stay in Viking resort because away from the center and to reach the rooms there are paths, up and down…if you choose this hotel , when you arrive at Ton Say bay pier , you should take a longtail boat to go to resort. It is not possible to go by walk with baggages. Long Bay is what you see from the Viking beach. It is a continuation of the sea (the same sea with shades of blue) but is separated from the rocks and vegetation. For the most courageous and athletic you can reach from the rocks, by sea, or on foot along a path (not simple) in the vegetation (of course wear comfortable/trekking shoes). Alternatively you can reach with the longtail boat from Tonsai Bay (best solution for those who do not love adventure).Long bay is a long stretch of white sand. Water with shades of blue. Bars, restaurants and resorts on the beach. Some resorts have sunbeds on the beach.

Long beach

PHI PHI VIEW POINT

Highest point of the island, Phi Phi Viewpoint is the place where the whole population has to go in case of a tsunami warning. Everywhere in the island, "Tsunami Evacuation Route" signs can be seen. Long and tiring route ,also steps, up and down, but at the end a beautiful view on Phi Phi island. There is worth. It will take patience and courage. The first part is also the most intense. You are never tired of taking pictures of emerald waters of Loh Dalam and Ton Sai Bays. There is a small bar at the Viewpoint, which sells soft drinks and some snacks.

Entrance 30 bath /person (for the first part)

Phi Phi view point

EAST COAST OF PHI PHI ISLAND

Magnificent and unspoiled east coast of the island. A place with breathtaking views, white beaches and incredibly crystalline sea. This part of the coast is accessible from Ton Sai Bay via longtail boat or via a trek in the tropical forest. Here the few buildings present are perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape. I recommend to rent a private longtail boat for 4 hours (1700 Bath) from a local agency located in front of the Ice Bar.

Recommended Phi Phi Insula hotel in Phi Phi island

Great location, within walking distance from Tonsai Bay pier, Tonsai Bay and Lo Dalum Bay. Surrounded by supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants even if out of the chaos of Phi Phi island. Recommended for those looking for a quiet room in a quiet area but in the center of Phi Phi island near the pier. 3 floors without elevator. At the entrance you are greeted by 3 big cats. Friendly and helpful staff. Luggage storage service is also available. Absolutely recommended.
