 Phi Phi Islands
The Phi Phi Islands are by far the main attraction to Krabi, and
are widely considered to be amongst the most beautiful places in
the world. There are six islands altogether: Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi
Ley, Bida Nok, Bida Nai, Yung, and Phai; each of which offers some
of the most unique topography on this planet. Of these six islands,
Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Ley are the largest, and most well known.
Phi Phi Don
This is the largest of the Phi Phi islands, and offers some of
the most arresting scenery available anywhere in the world. Phi
Phi Don is comprised of two main sections, peculiarly connected
by a narrow strip of glittering white sand. It was here, in the
center, where the first settlement of Ton Sai was established.
Since that time, Phi Phi Don has earned a reputation as one of
the most alluring sights in the region, offering spectacular beaches,
gleaming, turquoise seas, and remarkable landscapes. This reputation,
however, has not come without a cost.
Phi Phi Ley
The second largest of the Phi Phi Island chain, Phi Phi Ley is extremely
beautiful, and pristine.
Day trips to Phi Phi Ley are available, and one of the biggest
attractions is Phaya Naak Cave, or Viking Cave, which has some bonafide
prehistoric carvings.
Another attraction to Phi Phi Ley are the nests of the edible-nest
swiftlet, which fetch up to US $2000 per kilogram. Armed guards
stand watch over these nests, to protect them against poachers.
Overnight stays on Phi Phi Ley are forbidden.
