Pi Leh Lagoon (Pileh)

This lagoon, part of the Phi Phi Islands, is a small enclosed cove which can be reached by boat. It is almost exactly across from Maya Bay on the same island of Phi Phi Leh. After passing through a small inletit surprises with breathtaking natural beauty of surreal limestone cliffs around and the stunning clear waters.

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.

Phi Phi Leh

Phi Phi Leh is the sister island of Phi Phi Don and the part of the Phi Phi archipelago that attracts tourists from all over the world. It offers four attractions that include the most photographed locations in Thailand:

• Maya Bay, the location of "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio
• Pi Leh Bay on the opposite eastern side
• Loh Sama (Sama Bay), separated from Maya Bay by a tall limestone cliff, which can be reached at low tide through a short tunnel in the cliff
• Viking cave on the northern end of Phi Phi Leh, a natural cave in the base of a limestone cliff.

Maya Bay

This is one of the most visited tourist spots in Thailand: known from the movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCabrio, and still a unique beauty: Maya Bay on Phi Phi Island.

Due to the large streams of visitors in the past few decades, however, nature has suffered so much that access has now been restricted. Boats can no longer drive directly into the bay, but have to drop their guests off at another location so that they can then walk to the dream bay via a footpath. Apart from taking pictures, there isn't much else to do - swimming is forbidden, and lying on the beach between snapping crowds is rather uncomfortable.
