Phi Phi is made up of two main islands, Phi Phi Don which is inhabited and has all the resorts and dive centres on it plus Phi Phi Ley which is uninhabited and once acted as the film set for Leonardo DiCapro's movie, The Beach. Together these islands are a stunning natural wonder. Phi Phi Islands are part of Krabi province and can be reached by ferry from Phuket or Krabi.  Phi Phi islands are protected by national marine park status. A dive trip to Phi Phi is worth it just to view the amazing karste limestone rocks, the fantastic diving is an added bonus. The stunning scenery above the water carries on below and Phi Phi dive sites, on their day, are as good as anywhere in Thailand. Phi Phi was very badly affected by the December 2004 Asian tsunami above the water but the island has recovered well. Underwater damage was minimal.
The main tourist and diving season is November to April although diving is possible all year round. Staying at a resort on Phi Phi Don means that divers are close to the dive sites by daytrip dive boat.... Continued >>
