Ostrovy Phi Phi
The Phi Phi Islands are a small group of islands off the Andaman coast, between Phuket and Krabi. Tall limestone cliffs rise straight from clear turquoise water, and the views are among the most famous in Thailand.
Only the largest island, Ko Phi Phi Don, has places to stay. Phi Phi Leh, the smaller island, is a protected area for day visits. There are no cars, so people walk or take boats. The islands suit snorkeling, diving, viewpoint hikes and beach days.

Kedy navštíviť
The best time is from November to April. The sea is calm and visibility is good for snorkeling and diving. From May to October it is the rainy season. Waves are higher, ferries are less reliable, and some hotels and restaurants close. Prices are lower then.
December and January are the busiest months. Book rooms and boats early. Day trips start early, so crowds are smaller before 10 am and after 4 pm.
Hlavné pamiatky
- Ko Phi Phi is the main island, with the village, two bays on either side, and a long hill between them. Most visitors stay here.
- Phi Phi Viewpoint is a high viewpoint above the two bays. Climb in the early morning or at sunset for the best light and fewer people.
- Maya Bay is the famous bay on Phi Phi Leh, ringed by high cliffs. It has been closed and reopened with visitor limits to protect the coral, so check current rules before you go.
- Tham Phaya Naak (Viking Cave) is a sea cave on Phi Phi Leh with old paintings on the walls. Boats stop for a short visit.

História
Phi Phi was a quiet group of islands inhabited by fishermen and by sea traders for centuries. The islands became widely known for tourism from the 1980s.
In 2004, a tsunami struck the Andaman coast and badly damaged the main village. The village was rebuilt, and the islands became a popular destination again. Maya Bay became famous worldwide as the location of a feature film in 2000, and was closed to protect the coral for several years before reopening.
