Before the sun fully warms the Andaman, the speedboat cleaves a glassy sea and the limestone walls of Phi Phi begin to grow out of the horizon — sheer faces that force the ocean into bright, sheltered coves. On this full-day loop from Krabi, you’ll move from open water to the narrow throat of Maya Bay, slip into Pileh Lagoon’s halo of turquoise, and drop anchor off Bamboo Island’s shallow reef.

History
Phi Phi’s islands formed from uplifted limestone; human presence is longstanding with fishing communities and, more recently, tourism reshaping the local economy.
Conservation
