Koh Phi Phi Don is the main island of the Phi Phi archipelago in southern Thailand and one of Southeast Asia's most popular tourist destinations, renowned for its tropical landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant holiday atmosphere. Located between Phuket and Krabi , this island combines idyllic beaches, limestone cliffs, and a wide range of leisure activities, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and adventure.
The island's tourist hub is Tonsai Village , the main arrival point and service center, where hotels, restaurants, shops, and nightlife are concentrated. From here, you can easily access some of the most famous beaches, such as Tonsai Bay and Loh Dalum Bay , two facing bays that form the island's distinctive isthmus.
Among the highlights of Koh Phi Phi Don is the Phi Phi Viewpoint , one of Thailand's most famous viewpoints, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the island and its two bays. Another must-see is Long Beach , one of the best beaches for enjoying calm waters, white sand, and excellent snorkeling conditions.
The island is also a strategic point for exploring other areas of the archipelago, especially nearby Koh Phi Phi Leh , home to the iconic Maya Bay , made famous by the film The Beach . In addition, areas like Viking Cave and Pileh Lagoon offer some of the best boat trips, diving, and kayaking experiences.
