The Phi Phi Islands are perhaps Thailand’s most iconic tropical getaway, made famous by “The Beach” movie. Phi Phi Don, the main inhabited island, has a party-friendly atmosphere with beachfront bars and night events. In contrast, Phi Phi Leh, uninhabited but stunning, is home to Maya Bay, with its cliffs and lagoon-like waters. These islands are packed during peak season, but their white-sand beaches, snorkeling spots, and dramatic cliffs keep them a must-visit. To avoid the crowds, many travelers take early morning or sunset tours.
