Phi Phi’s limestone formations are uplifted coral and reef structures; the islands became international tourist destinations in the late 20th century and are now managed under national park rules.
Conservation
A national park fee helps fund reef protection; visitors should avoid touching coral, use reef-safe sunscreen, and carry out all trash.
