The day begins before sunrise at Saladan Pier, the speedboat’s engine a steady heartbeat against a pale eastern sky. Salt rides the air; limestone cliffs of Phi Phi loom like stern guardians as the boat cuts a clean path toward Pileh Lagoon.

History
Phi Phi’s karst islands formed from coral and limestone uplift; the area rebuilt after the 2004 tsunami and now balances tourism with conservation.
Conservation
Thailand’s parks enforce seasonal closures and strict beach rules—avoid single-use plastics, use reef-safe sunscreen, and never feed wildlife to help reefs and local species recover.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Respect wildlife
Do not feed monkeys or touch marine life; follow guides to minimize disturbance to animals and reefs.
