The twin Phi Phi islands, 30 miles (48km) east of Phuket, are world-renowned, particularly since the making of the Hollywood box office sensation, 'The Beach'. Phi Phi Leh, the smaller of the two islands, was the setting for this movie, which now draws scores of day trippers from Phuket, just a 45-minute boat ride away. The island has no accommodation and is accessible only by boat, but offers sensational snorkelling and the Viking Cave with wall paintings. Phi Phi Don, the larger island, has idyllic tropical beaches lining its shores. Ton Sai Bay is the main tourist centre on Phi Phi, a little overdeveloped for some tastes. Even being overrun by tourists, though, the islands retain their spectacular quiet beauty.
Phi Phi Islands Activities
Snorkelling
Wonderful coral gardens, unusual cave fish, exotic tropical fish, and sharks - probably the best snorkelling anywhere. Depths vary from 2-7 metres (6-20 feet) and visibility is crystal clear
Fishing
The Andaman Sea is home to all the classic prize fighters of the fish world. Black Marlin, Giant Travelly, Sailfish, and Shark.
Yellowfin, Dogtooth and Skipjack, Tuna are common, while Wahoo are plentiful during the monsoon season. (June - October.)
