Tours
Ever since Leonardo DiCaprio smoked a spliff in Alex Garland's
The Beach,
Phi-Phi Leh
has become somewhat of a pilgrimage site. Aside from long-tail boat tours to Phi-Phi
Leh and Ko Mai Phai, tour agencies can arrange sunset tours to Monkey Bay and the
beach at Wang Long, both on Phi-Phi Leh, for 600B. Adventure Club (

is a
good choice.
U-Rip
(
0 7560 1075; per person 600B)
offers the same trip and is also highly re-
commended.
You can no longer camp on Maya Beach, but you can join the
Plankton Sunset Cruise
(
www.mayabaytours.com
; per person 1200B)
, and sleep aboard the boat just off shore. They only
take on-line bookings.
Captain Bob's Booze Cruise
(

;
men/women 3000/2500B;
de-
parts at 1pm, returns at 7pm)
is the latest buzz-worthy excursion and is exactly what it sounds
like. You're cruising the waters around Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh, on a sail boat, adult
beverage in hand.
Another unique choice is the
Watersports Experience
(

;
per
person with/without sports 1500/2500B)
, where guests can stand-up paddle (SUP), wake board,
water ski and snorkel the waters around Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh. You'll lunch on Ao
Rantee. You'll be zipping around in the Ali Baba speedboat, and guests who don't wish
to get sporty are welcome at a discount. Best booked at any of the tour offices in the vil-
lage.
