Phi Phi Island, classic beaches, stunning rock formations, and vivid turquoise waters teeming with colourful marine life it's paradise perfected. There are two islands, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Lay. The larger and inhabited, Phi Phi Don attracts hundreds of visitors to stay on its lovely shores.

The Phi Phi islands are located about 48 Kms southeast from Phuket 48 kms and 42 kms from south of Krabi Town. They can be reached in between 1 to 3 hours depending on the type of boat you choose. Boats leave from Phuket and the Klong Jirat Pier in Krabi Town on a daily basis.

The Phi Phi Islands are located in Thailand, between the large island of phuket and the western Andaman Sea coast of the mainland. The islands are administratively part of Krabi province. Ko Phi Phi Don ("ko" meaning "island" in the Thai language) is the largest island of the group, and is the only island with permanent inhabitants, although the beaches of the second largest island, Ko Phi Phi Lee (or "Ko Phi Phi Leh"), are visited by many people as well. The rest of the islands in the group, including Bida Nok, Bida Noi, and Bamboo Island, are not much more than large limestone rocks jutting out of the sea.

Regular ferry connections connect Phi Phi with Phuket and Krabi. There are several different companies operating boats of varying speed and price. All tickets can be booked at travel agents. The ferries operate year round, though there are occasional cancellations in the low season if the sea is too rough.

Phi Phi Don was initially populated by Muslim fishermen during the late 1940s, and later became a coconut plantation. The Thai population of Phi Phi Don remains more than 80% Muslim. The actual population however, if counting laborers, especially from the north-east, from the mainland is much more Buddhist these days.

The islands came to worldwide prominence when Ko Phi Phi Leh was used as a location for the 2000 British-American film The Beach. This attracted criticism, with claims that the film company had damaged the island's environment, an accusation the film's makers contest. The film's release was attributed to an increase in tourism to the islands. Phi Phi Leh also houses the 'Viking Cave', from which there is a thriving bird's nest soup industry.

Ko Phi Phi was devastated by the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 2004, when nearly all of the island's infrastructure was destroyed. As of 2010 most, but not all, of this has been restored.
