Maya Bay
Made famous for its starring role in the Leonardo DiCaprio film, The Beach, Maya Bay is on Koh Phi Leh and is usually included with all the island/snorkeling trips you see advertised. The beach is stunning, with 100 metre-high cliffs on three sides of the beach. Visit in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowd. Tours start from 600 THB.
Phi Phi viewpoint
The twenty-minute walk up to the Viewpoint will be rewarded by an amazing panoramic view of Phi Phi Le and Phi Phi Don. The viewpoint is over 600 feet high, so you’ll need to be reasonably fit to get here. There are a lot of steep staircases and trails leading up there. But the view is really amazing and there’s a restaurant on top now if you want a drink!
Rock climbing
With the rugged landscape and steep cliffs, Koh Phi Phi is an ideal destination to climb. You can arrange a tour that will take you by boat to one of the islands’ limestone rock faces that is suitable for climbing. Most places charge around 1000 THB for a half-day. Tonsai Tower is a rock climbers paradise.
Go diving
There are plenty of great diving sites around Koh Phi Phi, including at Hin Muang. This diving site boasts the highest vertical wall in Thailand at 60 meters. Leopard sharks, whale sharks, manta rays and reef sharks patrol the depths at the site but its crowning glory is the huge purple rock. Currents can be strong, so be cautious.
Visit Bamboo Island
The island lies 8 miles from Koh Phi Phi and is home to the coral garden Hin Klang. Tons of day trips go there. I highly recommend it. It’s a beautiful, relaxing isand with better beachs than Phi Phi! You’ll have to pay the 400 THB entrance fee, but most of the tours include that in their costs.
