Phi Phi Islands: Unmissable Wonders
The Phi Phi archipelago consists of six islands, with the main activity centered on the inhabited Ko Phi Phi Don and the protected Ko Phi Phi Leh. Key sites include Maya Bay, famous for its 100-meter limestone cliffs, and the Viking Cave, a site for harvesting swiftlet nests. The islands feature a series of elevated viewpoints overlooking the narrow isthmus of Ton Sai and Loh Dalum. Marine highlights include Pileh Lagoon and various snorkeling coves populated by crab-eating macaques.
