See view point ko phiphi


See view point walk up to the View Point and get a view of the entire island. You will be surprised at how narrow the sand strip is between the two main parts of the island. Also while up there you will see the massive damaged caused by the Boxing Day tsunami.

See Monkey Beach accessible on foot or by renting a canoe, or be lazy and charter a long tail boat. Don't forget to take some bananas for the monkeys!

Do
* Ko Phi Phi Ley - take a longtail boat and visit Maya Bay - the "secret beach" where the movie "The Beach" was filmed. Water directly around the island is sometimes disappointingly murky and not so good for diving. The beach on the other side of the island, across from where the boats land, is slightly nicer.

It is highly recommended to arrive at Maya Bay before 8am, when the place can still be enjoyed in solitude. As from 9am hoards of speedboats arrive with European and Japanese tourists on package tours from Phuket. At 11am we counted 40(!) speedboats in the bay, many of which were revving their engines unnecessarily loud. Another thing to think about when coming to Maya Bay is the time of year. During the high season (October - May) you will feel like you are at Disney Land but come durning the off season and you shouldn't be surprised if you are one of only two or three small groups on the beach. NOTE: Since the begining of 2007 the Park Rangers have begun to enforce a park fee on the island though, if you are trraveling in a tour group, they will typically include it in the price of your trip.

* Snorkeling - there are two rocks within swimming distance of Long Beach, where blacktip reef sharks can be seen (dive schools organise guided tours for this). Dive schools take snorkelers on their dive boats, but expect to see only a hint of the underwater marvel visible to scuba divers. The snorkeling off Bamboo and Mosqito Islands is quite good although the reefs are a long way below you at high tide.

* Scuba diving - there are many dive shops, and some very good dive locations. Prices are regulated, so expect to pay the same everywhere. Shops on the island do a few different trips. The typical trip offered is a two tank local dive within the Phi Phi Marine park which will run about 2200 Baht. They also do 2 -3 tank trips to the King Cruiser wreck with your follow up dives at both Shark Point and Anemone Reef, this trip usually runs between 3200 -3900 depending on the number of dives you do. No diving trip to Phi Phi would be complete if you didn't head down to Hin Daeng. Hin Daeng has some of the stepest drops in Thailand (60m+) as well as being the place you are most likely to see Manta Rays and Whale Sharks. This trip usually runs around 4500.

* Party - There are a few good place to go out and dance while in Phi Phi. Tiger Bar, Carlitos and Apache Bar all have their own distinct flavour and as they are all with in only a few minutes of each other its not uncommon to find yourself having a drink at each of them through out the night.

* Rock Climbing - there are opportunities for rock climbing on Ko Phi Phi, and a few climbing shops to rent equipment, find a guide or take basic lessons. (Spider Monkey can be recommended). While not as famous as Rai Leh beach, nor with as many routes, the climbing is on similar limestone cliffs, and similarly beautiful. The climbing here also tends to be less crowded than at Rai leh. There are about four walls that are used with some frequency.
