Phi Phi – Maiton island – Khai island and Maya Bay by speedboat

Overview

The Phi Phi Islands are a group of islands located in the Andaman Sea, off the west coast of Thailand. The most well-known islands in the group are Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh. Phi Phi Don is the larger and more developed island, whereas Phi Phi Leh is smaller and remains uninhabited. Phi Phi Islands are renowned for their stunning white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic limestone cliffs. Some of the popular attractions and activities you might find on a typical Phi Phi Islands trip include

1. 1. Maya Bay: Maya Bay, located on Phi Phi Leh, gained international fame after being featured in the movie “The Beach” starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The bay is surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, and its turquoise waters make it a popular destination for swimming and snorkeling.
   2. Viking Cave: The Viking Cave, also on Phi Phi Leh, is a large cave with ancient wall paintings and is famous for being a site where swiftlet nests are harvested. The nests are used to make bird’s nest soup, a delicacy in some Asian cuisines.
   3.  Pileh Lagoon: Pileh Lagoon is a stunning emerald green lagoon nestled between towering limestone cliffs on Phi Phi Leh. The clear waters make it an ideal spot for swimming and snorkeling, providing an unforgettable natural swimming pool experience.
   4. Monkey Beach: Located on Phi Phi Don, Monkey Beach is a small sandy cove where you can spot wild monkeys roaming freely. While it may be tempting to interact with them, it’s essential to remember not to feed them and respect their natural habitat.
   5. Khai Island: Khai Island is a group of three small islands—Khai Nok, Khai Nui, and Khai Nai—located near Phi Phi Islands. These islands are known for their white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, making them perfect for snorkeling and relaxing on the beach.

A typical day trip to these destinations usually involves hopping on a speedboat or a traditional long-tail boat from Phuket, Krabi, or other nearby locations. The journey from the mainland to the Phi Phi Islands takes around 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your departure point. Throughout the day, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the beautiful islands, swim in the clear waters, snorkel to discover vibrant marine life, and relax on the stunning beaches. Lunch is often provided on the tour, and you’ll have some time to enjoy the various attractions and capture unforgettable moments.
