Island Hopping in Southern Thailand

Koh Phi Phi

Just a short 45-minute boat ride away from Phuket; Koh Phi Phi is truly the ultimate tropical getaway in Thailand. With its swaying palms, white sandy beaches, plentiful coral and clear blue water, it is a destination approaching tropical perfection. Don’t be mistaken, Koh Phi Phi is actually two islands instead of one. There’s Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh where the movie, “The Beach” starring Leonardo Di Caprio was shot (warning: despite its actual natural beauty, this place has actually turned into a tourist trap and you need to pay a fee to even set foot on the beach)

To get to Koh Phi Phi, regular ferry service runs from Phuket and you can only stay on Phi Phi Don, the larger of the two islands. Phi Phi has lots of tracks and footpaths but no real roads, so getting around is easy - walking or go by boat! The local "longtail" boats are like water taxis and will take you wherever you want to go and wait for you if required. Prices vary and can be on a per person basis or whole boat charge depending on your trip and the number of people. Check with other travellers and always negotiate with a smile!
