The Journey
Maya Bay
Maya Bay, immortalized by the film 'The Beach' starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is a stunning cove sheltered by towering limestone cliffs on Koh Phi Phi Leh. Its powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters make it a quintessential tropical paradise. While its popularity has led to temporary closures for ecological recovery, experiencing the iconic beauty of Maya Bay remains a highlight for visitors to the Phi Phi Islands. Arrive early or during off-peak season to avoid crowds and fully appreciate its breathtaking scenery. Even a glimpse from a boat is a worthwhile experience.
Phi Phi Islands
The Phi Phi Islands, nestled between Phuket and the mainland, are a jewel of the Andaman Sea. Comprising Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh, these islands boast dramatic limestone cliffs, pristine beaches, and vibrant coral reefs. Phi Phi Don, the larger island, offers accommodation, restaurants, and bustling nightlife, while Phi Phi Leh is famed for Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon. The islands offer a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty, making them a must-visit destination in Thailand.
Pileh Lagoon
Pileh Lagoon, located on the uninhabited island of Koh Phi Phi Leh, is a hidden gem of emerald-green waters enclosed by towering limestone cliffs. This natural lagoon offers a tranquil escape for swimming, snorkeling, and simply soaking in the stunning scenery. The narrow entrance creates a sheltered haven, perfect for escaping the crowds and enjoying the serene beauty of this secluded paradise. The water's vibrant color shifts with the sunlight, making it a truly magical experience.
Viking Cave
Viking Cave, shrouded in mystery and local lore, is a prominent landmark on Koh Phi Phi Leh. Named for the ancient-looking paintings found on its walls, which some believe depict Viking ships, the cave holds a unique cultural and economic significance. Local communities harvest swiftlet nests from the cave ceiling, a prized ingredient in bird's nest soup, a delicacy in Chinese cuisine. While entry into the cave is restricted, boat tours offer glimpses of its interior and the opportunity to learn about this fascinating tradition.
Phi Phi Viewpoint
Phi Phi Viewpoint offers a panoramic vista of Koh Phi Phi Don's stunning landscape. A moderate hike rewards visitors with breathtaking views of the island's iconic twin bays, Tonsai and Loh Dalum, separated by a narrow isthmus. The viewpoint is particularly enchanting at sunrise and sunset, when the golden light bathes the island in a warm glow. Several tiers offer different perspectives, ensuring ample space to capture the perfect photo. This is a must-do for anyone seeking to appreciate the natural beauty of Phi Phi from above.
Loh Sama Bay
Loh Sama Bay, situated on the eastern side of Koh Phi Phi Leh, is a picturesque bay offering a tranquil escape. Known for its calm, shallow waters and vibrant coral reefs, it's an ideal spot for snorkeling and swimming. The bay features a small islet near the entrance and a hidden beach tucked away at the end of a small canyon. The calm waters and sheltered location make it an excellent alternative to the more crowded Maya Bay, offering a peaceful and scenic experience.
Know Before You Go
