Known for its beautiful emerald waters and unspoiled beaches. The Phi Phi Islands are a group of six islands, the two largest being Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh, which can be accessed by a 45-minute speedboat ride or a 90-minute ferry ride from Krabi.
The larger and more crowded Phi Phi Don attracts hundreds of visitors to its immaculate beaches. The smaller, isolated Phi Phi Leh has stunning coves and beaches, including the renowned Maya Bay.
Between November and April, when the weather is milder, and showers are less frequent, is the best time to visit Koh Phi Phi.
