Phi PhiIsland
The Phi Phi islands are located about 45 Km
southeast from Phuket, 42 km south of Krabi
Town and 40 km from Ao Nang Beach. They can be
reached in between 1 to 3 hours depending on the
type of boat you choose. Boats leave from Phuket,
Ao Nang and the Chao Fa Pier in Krabi Town on a
daily basis.
The name 'Phi Phi' is derived from Malay, and the
original was Pulao Pi ah Pi, where in pulao is the
Malay word for island , and Pi, pronounced with a
soft 'p' sound, was very close in pronunciation to
the English word 'bee'; the ah was dropped, so the
name was said something like Bee Bee.
Later the p was pronounced with a stronger
aspiration and the name became the Phi Phi (Pee
Pee) we know today. The name originally referred
to the mangrove wood found there.
There are 6 islands in the Phi Phi group; Phi Phi
Don, Phi Phi Ley, BidaNok, BidaNai, Koh Yung,
and KohPhai; total land area is 42 square
kilometers. The islands were declared a National
Park in 1983, and development is limited to Koh Phi
Phi Don only. All other islands are uninhabited.
Yung Island lies to the north of Phi Phi Don. there
is a rocky beach on the east side, and a smaller
strand of sand in a fold of the hill. Many beautiful
and various corals are found there. Good for
shallow snorkeling.
Phai Island lies also to the north of Phi Phi Don,
not far from KohYung . Sandy beaches are on the
north and east sides of the island. Broad coral
reefs stretch away into the south.
Phi Phi Don Island covers a total area of 28 square
kilometers: 8 km in length and 3.5 km at its
broadest point. At the north end is Cape
LaemTohng, where there is a Chao Ley, or sea
gipsy village. These sea gipsies emigrated from
KohLipeh in Tarutao National Park, near the
border with Malaysia and lived on the islands long
before tourism arrived. There are two long
beaches next to the main town - the two curving
bays of Ton Sai and LohDalam. The town was hit
hard by the tsunami on December 26th 2004, but
now things are all back to normal.
