Phi Phi Islands

A picturesque island that has been wooing moviemakers since time immemorial and enticing travellers with its exotic pearls, Phi Phi is one of the most popular getaways in Thailand. While perfectly white sand gently caresses its teal waters, limestone cliffs seem to form a gentle embrace around them. When approached by a boat, the islands emerge from the sea like a grand citadel that is guarded by an army of palm trees. Phi Phi is essentially a group of six alluring islands with Phi Phi Leh and Phi Phi Don being the most popular names. Phi Phi Leh is interestingly home to the gorgeous ‘Maya Bay’ where Danny Boyle’s Leonardo DiCaprio’s starrer ‘The Beach’ was filmed. The mysterious ‘Viking Caves’ are equally visit-worthy. The ‘H’ shape of Phi Phi Don, on the other hand, is very Instagram worthy. You could also take a trip to the Bamboo Island for a more immersive experience of the Phi Phi archipelago.
A lot of travellers visit Phuket with the sole intention of taking a trip to Phi Phi Islands. This paradise is a mere 45 minutes by speedboat and around 90 minutes if you take the ferry. Dive to your heart’s content, snorkel like a fish and unleash the adventurer in you by going rock climbing. You will certainly have a whale of a time in Phi Phi.
