Phi Phi. (But someone calls them simply "Pi-Pi") - the archipelago between the mainland and Phuket. This is part of the crab.
Phi-FCI consists of 2 islands: Phi Phi-Don and Phi Phi Lei. It is worth noting that these pieces of sushi are extremely picturesque. They are from each other kilometers in five. Well, and tourists he became especially loved after the film "Beach" was removed here, well, who with Di Caprio. About this fact here is mentioned in every travel agency, but everyone just seems to be obliged to go to the islands, even if the islands or coastal cities in which they stopped, are also very beautiful.
Phi Phi Don. more.
And the people sorry him somehow more. The island consists of two parts of the sushi, which are covered with limestone rocks, which have developed as if the bridge. The left side is solid rocks and rocks overgrown by bushes and trees. The right side is a jungle, beaches and palm groves. In the center of the island - Buchochka Tysai, on the shore of which the hotel is built, they put shops, bungalows and restaurants.
Life is tourist life. And also from here you sail the yachts to the neighboring islands, in Phuket, to Krabi. And there are excursion yachts, so, at times there is very "Anapa". Therefore, romance somehow disappears a little, at least a place and very beautiful.
And still, hundreds of butterflies fly on the island. Handsomely! They are almost as many as people. And the monkeys here are also a lot, and they are not completely harmful, gladly take pictures and are quite close.
Small Phi Pi Lea. Almost uninhabited. There are no hotels or cafes on it.
So here are lovers of wildlife and cozy corners, mysterious grotts and caves, lagoon. The rocks flowing into the depth of water on the phi pi lei are truly unique, and many come here to dive and admire this miracle. And the cliffs are covered with swallow jacks. By the way, the eggs of swallows are a separate Thai delicacy, and you can also try this miracle in the restaurants of the island. Usually it is boiled soup. This is not very cheap pleasure. The beach on which the movie was filmed, Maya Beach is located here.
The name of the beach is also very ambiguous.
With the Sanskrit roots, "Maya" means "illusion". Before Pih, Pihuya followed the boats, and you will definitely "glue" boatmen and offer a tour of the island. It can cost it in the area of 1300-1500 baht (40-45 dollars). For this price you must ride around the whole island, to get into all bays and lagoon. This island is similar to a huge -thmond stone block, rightfully captures the spirit.
Visit the Wiking Cave on this island.
She is a little north of the bay pi le. These cliffs, just the same, is a real lobby house. On the walls of this cave, you can also see ancient drawings, mainly on marine topics. Boats on the rock paintings are very similar to the boats of Vikings, so the cave called this way. By the way, they say that a kilogram of swallow nests, collected from the walls of this cave, is very not suiced! Yeah, we are better to manage somehow any chicken.
Nevertheless, Phi Pi Lei is much more beautiful. These cliffs, "sorry" greens, this purest water, narrow beaches ... completely surreal! Although it seems that here is, here he is a desert island, as you can see Maya Beach, full of tourists. Although there are also a couple of beautiful beaches nearby, it does not seem to swim with them, since it is very fine. Although, in the kayak, it is possible to go there in principle. And very recommended. On one of the beaches is a very interesting cave, which ends with two holes, a diameter of 1.5 meters. Looks like a human nose. And there is a dwelling, straight in the cave. Residential dwelling, with people. By the way, if you thought, as in the film, splashing under the lunar light next to this island, then in vain - the entrance is allowed here only during the daytime.
As for snorkeling, it is worth noting that the underwater world next to the islands is really good. Compared with a slightly turbid water next to Phuket. And maybe even crabs. Everyone can be seen right to the depth, and the depth of 10 meters in some places.
The caves can be hungry and without scuba, but dively costs exactly. And at the bottom there are bright turquoise starfishes with long "rays".
Visit the neighboring Bamboo Island (Bamboo Island). Islet tiny, in polneckometer with a diameter. It is 5 km from Phi Phi Don. And this is another secluded island with luxurious beaches and coral reefs around the perimeter. So, diving and snorkeling fans, take masks and fins - and here! It is also great to swim here - a comfortable entrance to the sea, and a shallow.
After all adventures, you can return to the islands, have lunch or try massage in bamboo tent on the beach.
Massage salons There is a mass, on average the massage of the whole body costs about 300 baht, but you can pass a little deep into the island and look for massage shops there. It can cost a little more expensive, but the result will delight. Or you can fly on Paraglider over the beach. Or go climbing.
If you go to the islands from another place yourself for a couple of days, do not worry, the housing will come to you. Locals will be calculated from the flock of tourists and quickly offer you a bungalow. If you want to sleep on the island with a tent, it can become a problem. There are no roads on the island, the living part of the island is surrounded by the impassable jungle, through which it is very difficult to get to the paradise beaches. In addition, the terrain is mountainous. So, set up calmly in the gest house.
Phi Phi Don, as I already wrote, noisy and crowded island. Club life here starts at about 8-9 pm and ends at 3 o'clock in the morning. All that is openly later, against the law. But many this is enough.
The parties on the island go throughout the southern shore - this is about 20 almost identical institutions where music is played, guests entertains the fire shows, contests are held and everything according to plan, in general.
One way or another, it is really better to come to the island yourself. It is a fact. We will not have anything to see anything with guides, but I don't want to drive anything like that beauty at all.
