The Phi Phi archipelago consists of six islands, the largest of them - the southern Phi Phi Ley and the northern island of Phi Phi Don. The latter is usually referred to, when the conversation is about resting on Phi Phi - this is the only inhabited island where tourists are waiting for hotels, cafes and restaurants and other infrastructure. From here, excursions to the other five islands are organized - for diving, snorkeling, or simply carefree sunbathing on wild beaches, as if created for filming a Bounty commercial.
Phi Phi Don itself is a resort with snow-white beaches, which gently bathes the emerald Andaman Sea. The nature of the holiday here is quiet and secluded, which automatically attracts those who do not need anyone in any society, newlyweds and divers, who value local waters for their transparency and diverse underwater world. The best time to visit the archipelago is between November and April. At Phi Phi (by the way, Thais say Pi-Pi) you can spend your entire vacation, or you can - look at a day from Phuket or Krabi.
