Phi Phi Island
Everything you need to know about Phi Phi
Phi Phi Island is Thailand's island-superstar. It's been in the movies. It's the topic of conversation for travelers all over Thailand. For some, it's the only reason to touchdown in Phuket. Even with all the hype, it doesn't disappoint.
Phi Phi's beauty is a large chunk of the allure. The islands, when approached by boat, rise from the sea like a fortress. Sheer cliffs tower overhead, then give way to beach-fronted jungle. It's love at first sight.
The second part of the why-we-love-this-place story is attitude: few places on the planet are this laid-back. Of the two islands, one is completely free of human inhabitants (Phi Phi Lei), and the other is without roads (Phi Phi Don). There's no schedule, no hustle-and-bustle, no reason to be in a hurry.
As an added bonus, Phi Phi is affordable. Destinations this beautiful are often reserved for those that can pay dearly. That's not the case here; Phi Phi has something for every budget. You might be surprised that perfect beachfront room costs less than you expect. (See Phi Phi Islands Photos)
Phi Phi Island Hotels
Bungalows are the accommodation of choice on Phi Phi. The place is very kind to
budget-minded backpackers, but

paradise in style.
For those who aren't carrying all their worldly possessions
on their back, the quiet northern tip of Phi Phi Don offers excellent
accommodation. See our list of Hotels on Phi
