A morning light cuts across the Andaman as the speedboat slips from Phuket Boat Lagoon toward sheer limestone cliffs. Salt and diesel mix in the air, and the sea dares you forward—clear, warm, and ringed by beaches that change hue with the sun. In under an hour the ragged walls of Phi Phi Leh appear, and Maya Bay’s white sand looks impossibly bright against the emerald water.

Phi Phi’s karst islands were shaped by uplifted limestone and coral growth; local seafaring communities fished these waters long before tourism reshaped the economy.
Conservation
The islands are within a national park with rules to limit plastic, control visitor numbers, and restrict activities like drone use and feeding wildlife to protect reefs and shorebirds.
