De Phi Phi Islands consist of a group of six islands in the province of Krabi (Southwest Thailand) in the Andaman Sea.

Koh Phi Phi Don (28 km2) is the largest island. Koh Phi Phi Lee is also visited a lot by tourists. The other islands are no more than large limestone rocks.

Koh Phi Phi Don and Koh Phi Phi Lee are very popular as holiday destinations and also form a national park. The main tourist attractions are the imposing limestone cliffs protruding from the sea and the beautiful tropical ones beaches with a clear turquoise sea. A great destination for snorkeling or diving, but you can also just enjoy the dazzling white beaches and beautiful bays.

About 20 years ago, the Phi Phi islands were still an oasis of peace. Since the 90s, tourism has increased enormously. During the day, thousands of tourists come on a day trip from Phuket or Krabi. In 2000, Koh Phi Phi Lee (Maya Bay) became famous through the movie 'The Beach' with Leonardo DiCaprio. This has resulted in a huge flow of tourists. Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi is therefore regularly closed for a few months so that the ecosystem can recover somewhat

Readers of the leading travel website Trip Advisor have already voted Koh Phi Phi Don among the top XNUMX places in the world to visit. The evocative bounty island is renowned for its natural beauty and excellent diving spots.
