There are six islands in the group known as Phi Phi. They lie 40 kms southeast of Phuket which is a home to an abundance of corals and marine life. There are limestone mountains with cliffs, caves and long white sandy beaches. The islands came to worldwide prominence when Ko Phi Phi Leh was used as a location for the 2000 British-American film "The Beach".

 

Phi Phi Leh also houses the "Viking Cave", where there is a thriving industry harvesting eatible bird's nest. The islands feature beaches and clear water that have had their natural beauty protected by national park status.
