In-Depth Information
There are no roads on Ko Phi-Phi Don so transport on the island is mostly by foot,
although long-tail boats can be chartered at Ao Ton Sai for short hops around Ko
Phi-Phi Don and Ko Phi-Phi Leh.

Ko Phi-Phi Leh
Rugged Ko Phi-Phi Leh is the smaller of the two Phi-Phi islands and is protected on all
sides by soaring cliffs. Coral reefs crawling with marine life lie beneath the crystal-clear
waters and are hugely popular with day-tripping snorkellers. Two gorgeous lagoons await
in the island's interior -
Pilah
on the east coast and
Ao Maya
on the west coast. In 1999
Ao Maya was controversially used as the setting for the filming of
The Beach,
based on
the popular novel by Alex Garland.
