Phi-Phi Don is the lively sister of the island group. A hedonistic paradise where visitors cavort by day in azure seas and party all night on soft sand. Here in Tonsai Village in the main bay there is everything that is typically associated with Thailand: hotels and restaurants of all classes, bars, massage parlors, tattoo studios and shops.
But Phi Phi -Don also has some other highlights to offer:
- Monkey Beach, which can only be reached by water
- Loh Dalum Beach, a popular destination for tourists with several hotels, restaurants, and a legendary party scene along the beach
- Phi Phi Viewpoint, which is a challenge to climb in the Thai heat but guarantees magnificent views.
Phi Phi Islands
There are not many places on earth that are so stunningly beautiful and famous; The Phi Phi archipelago consists of six picturesquely beautiful islands full of limestone hills, turquoise lagoons and dream beaches, in the middle of the Andamen Sea Marine National Park.
With the exception of Phi Phi Don, the tourist hotspot with hotels, restaurants and bars, all the islands are undeveloped, but thanks to their fame they are very popular. Visitors flock from all over the world to admire Maya Bay (the film set of "The Beach"), to pose for photos in front of breathtaking scenery or to plunge into the crystal-clear underwater world to admire the magnificent coral reefs and their inhabitants.
It's worth hiring a private yacht to see these beauties in their true splendor off-peak.
Monkey Beach (Loh Dalum, Yong Gasem Bay)
Monkey Beach, also called Yong Gasem Bay, is only a few hundred meters from the lively center of Koh Phi Phi Island. It can only be reached by boat by boat, it is natural and gleams with fine white sand and clear turquoise water.
This beach belongs to the monkeys. They live here and enthusiastically pounce on visitors hoping for food or something else interesting to steal. This can also be your Rolex or the Versage handbag. Watch after!
Attention: Feeding the monkeys is forbidden, touching is not recommended, but photography is allowed!
Nui Bay
Of all the bays on Koh Phi Phi Don, Nui Bay is the most beautiful. The white sandy beach is nestled between lush vegetation and falls into turquoise waters. The upstream Camel Rock (Camel Rock) contributes to the picturesque backdrop.
The dreamlike scenery at Nui Beach is no longer an insider tip, but in the morning you have the bay to yourself.
