Phi
Phi Don
 The
larger of the two islands, Phi Phi Don has accommodation
ranging from basic bungalows to more sophisticated
resorts. Nightlife, shopping and restaurants are
located generally around the centre of Tonsai,
where the boats arrive and depart. (see
map)
The smaller beaches directly
north and south of Tonsai also have accommodation
with the more upmarket resorts around the north
east coast. Many have their own secluded beach,
accessed by local "longtail" boats from
Tonsai bay as there are no roads on the island.
Ton
Sai Bay
1 km of white sand beach - the main area where
the boats dock. Lots of accommodation, restaurants
and places to meet. The beach area stretches back
to Ao Lo Dalam, around the central area which
forms the focus of the island. Touristy but fun.

Haad
Yao or ‘Long Beach’
Where the best snorkelling reefs are found. Local
boats leave regularly from Ton Sai, or you can
walk along the beach from Tonsai at low tide.
One of the most popular southern beaches.
Ao
Lo Dalam
Not so much action as Tonsai, although close enough
if you want a night out. Some popular resorts
are located here.

There
is no accommodation on Phi Phi Lei,
as most of the island is composed
of sheer cliffs and small lagoons
with teeming fish. Trips leave every
day for sightseeing and snorkelling,
especially good for beginners as the
water is warm, absolutely clear, and
shallow.
