PHI PHI
ISLAND
Southeast of Phuket lies the Nopparat-Phi Phi Marine
National Park, which includes the Phi Phi island, These
islands, famous for their beauty, are found midway
between Phuket and the mainland coast (48km to Phuket,
40km to Krabi).
The largest island, Phi Phi Don, is a popular tourist
destination-playing host to thousands of visitors each
year.
A smaller and undeveloped sister island, Phi Phi Ley, is
the latest Andaman island to be immortalized in
celluloid with the filming of The Beach.
The staggering seascape of limestone crags rising
vertically from the sea casts a mythical aura over this
prehistoric-looking geography.
