The morning air off Phuket tastes of salt and diesel as a white speedboat cleaves the Andaman Sea toward limestone walls rising like folded maps of ancient reefs. Travelers slide into life jackets, coffee in hand; islands advance from blue mist into bright cliffs and powder sand. Phi Phi’s bays open like pages — each cove a different shade of green and turquoise — and the boat’s engine sets a steady rhythm, urging the day forward.

History
Phi Phi’s limestone islands formed from uplifted coral and sediment; Maya Bay rose to international fame after appearing in the film "The Beach," which spurred heavy tourism and subsequent conservation measures.
Conservation
The Andaman islands face reef stress from anchors and sunscreen; local regulations, seasonal closures and coral‑friendly briefings aim to reduce impact — follow guide instructions and avoid touching reef.
