Phi Phi Island
Phi Phi Don Island
covers a total area of 28 square kilometers : 8 kilometers
in length and 3.5 at its broadest point. At the north end is
Cape m Tohng, where there is a Chao Ley, or sea gipsy
village. These sea gypsies emigrated from Koh Lipeh in
Tarutao National Park, near the border with Malaysia. Diving
at Laem Tohng is excellent, as it is also at Hua Rah Ket to
the extreme south.
There are long beaches with rocks scattered about. Two
curving bays are especially beautiful : Ton Sai and Loh
Dalam. This is also where accommodations and tourist
services are found.
 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.
Pai Island
lies also to the north of Phi Phi Don, not far from Koh
Yung. Sandy beaches are on the north and east sides of the
island. Broad coral reefs stretch away into the south.
Phi Phi Ley Island
 is an Island of 6.6 square kilometers. It is mountainous and
rocky. Tall cliffs rise straight up from the sea's surface
and 34 meters is the deepest Spot, at the south end of the
island and others. On the northeast is the famous 'Viking
Cave' so-called from the painting therein, which His
Majestry King Bhumibol was pleased to grant also the name 'Payanak'
meaning 'Serpent Lord', in honour of the villagers who
gatter swallow's nests on the island. Inside, on the east
and south walls of the cave, are paintings from historical
times of an elephant, and boats of various kinds:
Arab prows, junks, sharp-stemmed vessels probably of
European origin, Steam ships, and propeller-driven
sailboats. It is theorized that these are the work of
sailors, or perhaps even of pirates, because the island
provides refuge during the monsoons and lies on the main
shipping lane from west to east. It was thus a place
suitable for offloading cargo and conducting repairs.
