The morning light slashes across the Andaman as a speedboat cuts toward the Phi Phi archipelago—limestone cliffs rising like weathered walls, water that shifts from teal to a deep, daring blue. Travelers step aboard in Phuket and within an hour the islands fill the view: Maya Bay’s sheer rocks, the emerald bowl of Pileh Lagoon, and the white rim of Bamboo Island where waves smooth the sand.

Phi Phi’s limestone islands formed from ancient coral and uplift; the islands gained international attention after exposure in film and have since been regulated as part of a national park.
Conservation
The area is under national park protection with entry fees funding conservation; visitors should avoid stepping on coral, use reef-safe sunscreen and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Phi Phi reefs are fragile—use chemical-free sunscreen and reapply before entering the water to protect coral and marine life.
Wear water shoes
Boarding can mean shallow rocky entries; slip-resistant water shoes make launches and exits safer and more comfortable.
Guard your gear
Use a small dry bag for phone, cash and small valuables—waves and quick boat transfers can wet loose items.
Know your swimming limits
Snorkel sites are open water with currents; if you’re not a strong swimmer, use the provided life jacket and stay near the group.
