Visit Koh Phi Phi

Just over an hour-long boat ride from Phuket’s shores, Koh Phi Phi, translated to mean Phi Phi Islands, is a must-visit destination when you’re in the area. Koh Phi Phi is a group of stunning land masses located in the Andaman Sea that are known for their breathtaking beauty and vibrant marine life. It calls to nature enthusiasts with its crystal-clear waters, pristine white sand beaches, and majestic cliffs offering breathtaking vistas. You can truly appreciate the serene charm of Thailand's natural wonders when you explore this idyllic destination, where each island possesses its own unique allure.

All About Koh Phi Phi

Koh Phi Phi consists of two main islands, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh. Phi Phi Don is the larger and more developed island, featuring bustling beachfront markets, lively nightlife, and a range of accommodation options from humble bungalows to luxurious resorts. Phi Phi Leh, on the other hand, is smaller and uninhabited, with iconic landmarks such as Maya Bay, made popular for being a filming location for the movie, ‘The Beach’.

To reach Koh Phi Phi from Phuket, you can board a ferry from Rassada Pier. The journey typically lasts around 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. The ferry will bring you to Tonsai Pier on Koh Phi Phi Don. Ticket prices for adults are THB500, while children aged 4-11 can get a ticket for THB400.
