Phi Phi Don Island

Phi Phi Don is the larger and only inhabited of the six Koh Phi Phi islands, 45 kilometres southeast of Phuket — a 28-square-kilometre limestone karst island shaped like an irregular dumbbell with two vertical-cliff hill blocks connected by a narrow isthmus. The flat isthmus holds the entire village population and resorts at Tonsai Bay on the south side (the main harbour) and Loh Dalum Bay on the north (the open beach side). The smaller neighbour Phi Phi Leh 2 kilometres south holds the iconic Maya Bay (the filming location of The Beach, 1999) — accessible by day-trip only with a permit limit since 2018 to protect the recovering coral reef. Both islands rise as vertical limestone cliffs from the sea. Phi Phi Don is 2 hours from Phuket by sail. Season runs November through April.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
