Phi Phi islands amongst many others we visited during the day were surrounded by clear pristine waters. The opportunity to peacefully snorkel above canyons of reefs within schools of wonderfully colourful fish in individual isolation around the boat was a pleasure. The white sandy beaches were squeeky clean. amazing trip that I will never forget which was extremely organized on... More

I spent my holiday time several days in Koh Phi Phi and I had such a great experience there! The island itself is quite small, we can just walk around in less than 1 or 2 hours, there are many open beach parties at night with fire dance, and I remember that alcohol drink in buckets is very common! :-)...

Our tour to the Phi Phi islands was with Asian dolphins, it was a full boat no real room to move about and watch our journey but looking at the other operators they were all much the same unless you wanted to privately charter your own boat. It was a nice day but at each of our stops it was... More

The islands are wonderful but there are hundreds, maybe thousands of tourists everyday. The Maya Bay looks like a mall parking during Christmas time, overcrowded of boats - believe me: you won't enjoy it. You have two options: 1- you can stay there overnight in a camp site (visitors must leave the islands at 16:00h, so after that and in... More

The Phi Phi islands are quite a distance from Phuket Island, so we chose to go by speed boat rather than the more a more comfortable sail boat or cruiser. Even so, it took about an hour to reach the islands. First we circled Phi Phi Ley for a close up look at the cliffs and sea caves, then landed... More

yeap, indeed it is beautiful. no doubt about that. down side is, its overcrowded. especially Maya Bay. I was only given 30mins at Maya Bay but it was more than enough due to all the people. sad that the Thai gov isnt doing anything to control the surge of people there. it's the low season now. don't dare to imagine...

We took a day trip from Phuket to visit the island. I was shocked but the amount of anchored boats and sheer numbers of people on the beaches. I know that these islands are popular but they are spoiled by the numbers visiting. It will only get worse. Shame really but that's the demand of the island.
