Situated south of Ao Nang, 8 kilometres offshore, Mu Koh Poda is fringed by clear waters, and offers white sandy beaches, as well as, pristine coral reefs.

This is why it is a year-round attraction and an excellent place for fishing because it is not affected so much by the monsoon.

Koh Phi Phi Le : Krabi, Thailand

Because of its stunning beauty, the earthly paradise of Phi Phi Le is almost too beautiful to be true. However Phi Phi Le is 100% authentic beauty abundant with rare flora and fauna as well as the world famous Maya Bay. Grand limestone mountains embrace the white sandy beach and the entire bay, and the impressive Ao Maya shows no sign of human interference despite a large number of tourists that swarm in all day long on a daily basis.

In the early morning, one can expect a scene of halcyon seas, white sandy beaches totally devoid of people and rare beach plants like beach morning glory and beautiful seashore screw pine. At Ao Maya, rare hornbills can be spotted to complete the perfect picture of the beach’s ecosystem.

The other two tranquil beaches on Koh Phi Phi are within a walking distance to Maya Bay. One is Ao Lo Sama-a small bay with shallow coral reefs and colorful fish. The other bay is Pi Le which is a giant lagoon surrounded by mountains. A dive site along the limestone cliff wall called “Pi Le Wall” is also nearby where one can dive in to admire the beauty of giant sea fans that can be seen in shallow water.

Koh Phi Phi Don : Krabi, Thailand

Date: September 27, 2018 By Nickie Categories: Attractions Tags: Krabi Attractions No comments

Koh Phi Phi Don is the largest of the Phi Phi Islands, in Thailand. The islands are administratively part of Krabi province. It is the only island in the group with permanent inhabitants.

Like the other islands in the group, Koh Phi Phi Don is a non-volcanic island largely made of limestone. It is almost separated into two islands, but a strand of flat land connects them. On this strand lies the largest town on the island, as well as most of the resorts.

Koh Phi Phi Don is now squarely on the tourist map, and tourists from all over the world (especially Europe, Japan, and the wealthier Southeast Asian countries i.e. Chinese, Singapore and Malaysia) flock to the island. Accessible from Phuket and mainland Krabi province, all tourists must arrive by Ferry. (The trip from Phuket takes around 90 minutes.) This has essentially turned the island into a rush of day trippers who overpopulate the island from 11AM-3PM. The island still holds much charm that can be enjoyed in the hours that the flocks from Phuket are not there. While in former times, Ko Phi Phi Don was a serene paradise, parts of it (especially the Ton Sai Bay area) have been exploited for tourism. Restaurants, shops, internet cafes, and shanty towns abound.
