Koh Phi Phi
Koh Phi Phi'''Ko Phi Phi''' is a pair of islands in the Krabi (province)|Krabi province of Thailand.
'''Ko Phi Phi Don''' is the populated island. '''Ko Phi Phi Lai''', also known as Ko Phi Phi Leh, is the small, unpopulated island to the south filmed in the movie "The Beach". Nest collectors protect it for their lucrative trade in Bird Nest Soup. Take a long tail to the east side of the island during low tide. Swim to the hole in the coral, climb through and walk the path to "The Beach". Take a bit of trash back with you to keep it pristine.
Although uninhabited, expect plenty of tourists. "The Beach" has made this island overly popular.
{{warningbox|Ko Phi Phi was devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunamis in December 2004. Nearly all of island's infrastructure was wiped out and repairing the damage is expected to take until mid-2005.}}
==Get in==
Boats leave Phuket as well as Krabi (city)|Krabi on a regular basis.
Get your ticket at a local travel agency, since they will then arrange for free transport to the pier. Prices are 250 / 150 Baht to/from Kho Phi Phi from/to Phuket, or 400 for the return ticket. The return tickets are open tickets, meaning that you will fix the day at a travel agency on the island. If you don't yet know to which port you'll return, only buy the single ticket.
==Get around==
Taxi boats will bring you to all beaches of the islands. However as long as you stay on Phi Phi Don, you can walk to any beach as well.
==See==
* Walk the (long) trail to the highest point of the island for a nice view.
==Do==
* Snorkelling
* Diving - This island has many dive shops, and some very good dive locations. Prices are regulated on this island, so expect to pay the same everywhere. Good diving spots away from the main islands are Shark Point and Anemone Reef.
