December 2007 - Special Phi Phi Islands
Welcome to the December edition of Phuket.com Magazine. This month our focus is on the beautiful Phi Phi Islands. Get an insider's look at life on Phi Phi through our interviews with local personalities, keep up to date with our monthly news and learn what to expect this month and next through our events page. Phi Phi is a world-renowned diving destination and our team tries the waters in a half-day dive in this aquatic wonderland. Also featured is a review of a Phi Phi One Night Stopover Tour and all it entails. And just where are the best places to eat out? We fill you in on the details, honing in to two of the best eateries on Phi Phi Don, Ton Sai Seafood and Mama's. Our hotel reviews take in the Bay View & Arayaburi Resort in Ton Sai Bay and The Holiday Inn Phi Phi in beautiful Laem Thong. As always, we keep the culinary Thai tips flowing; this month with a recipe from Trisara Phuket's chef. Finally, our team here in Phuket would like to take the opportunity to wish each and every one of our readers a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. The Editor |

Arayaburi Resort Phi PhiSituated in Laem Hin (Rocky Cape) and
facing Phi Phi Leh, the Phi Phi Bay View and Arayaburi Resort straddles
a leafy hillside overlooking Phi Phi Don’s stunning Tonsai
Bay. Tonsai has long been known for its luscious turquoise water,
its verdant backdrop and the jungle-capped cliffs on the far side
of the bay. |

Diving in Phi PhiThe Phi Phi islands marine park is an area of truly outstanding natural beauty. Dramatic 200-metre high jungle-capped limestone cliffs with tree roots desperately clinging their sides rise vertically out of the turquoise water. Below the water the scenery is just as dramatic… Phi Phi is a leading worldwide scuba diving destination with visitors flocking all year round to see the islands’ underwater beauty. Read more... |

Phi Phi Stopover Phi Phi Island is one of the most
beautiful in the world. It’s a place that you have to see to
believe as the ‘colourometer’ has gone off the scale there,
with its fabulously turquoise-and-blue waters, its rugged limestone
cliffs and the luscious green of its jungle and flora. |

Tonsai Seafood and Mama's restaurantThe restaurant scene on Phi Phi Don is vibrant, colourful, exciting and ever changing. There are any number of intriguing eateries lining Tonsai's busy streets and alleys and the choices stretch from pub grub to fine dining. Two of the most well-known restaurants on the island are Ton Sai Seafood and Mama's yet they are very different from each other in character and delivery. Join Sam Wilkinson as he tries out the wonderful cuisine in these locations. Read more... |
