I have mixed feelings about our speed boat tour from Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands. We went there at the end of November 2008 during the peak season. First the speedboat ride on the way there, it was so rough it felt like we weren't going to make it there. We sat at the front of the boat and... more

If you havent been to Phi Phi Island, then your missing out big time. It will have to be the most amazing place I have ever seen in my life. Without getting carried away though, there was a few little things that I didnt like. The island seems to be getting built up a bit with little houses etc and... more

From a man who lives in Phi Phi the best advice I can give is dont do day tours; they all go to the same places at the same time, so course it is always crowded. Take a little time and make a little effort. Hire long tails, visit Nui Bay, Run Tee Beach, Bamboo and Mosquito Islands. You will... more

We went on a day tour of Phi Phi Island Thailand in Jan 2008. Being high season we expected some crowds but nothing like we experienced. It was ridiculous.

I was there in 2004 before the tsunami and it was wonderful. Hard to see how the whole island was almost wiped out during the disaster.

These Islands are amazing both above and below the water. The movie the beach was filmed in Maya bay on Phi, Phi Ley. The main point of my trip there was to scuba dive but there way lots over other things to do on the island. The only down side is that it has gotten more developed in the past... more

We visited Phi Phi Island on a day trip from Phuket in August this year. It is a good trip over by ferry. The water is beautiful and the island is magnificent. The only thing is that so many people go. The island is packed and even the snorkling of shore is extremely crowded. If you can overcome this it... more
