"Where Are You Going? To The Beach!" Ko Phi Phi Don by Jmill42


Ko Phi Phi Don Travel Guide: 530 reviews and 1,207 photos

No Leonardo or Virginie, But Still Worth The Trip!

Ko Phi Phi, is actually two islands: Ko Phi Phi Li and Ko Phi Phi Don.

Ko Phi Phi Li is a national park that has no accomodation, and it is illegal to spend the night on. Ko Phi Phi Don is the exact opposite, with a plethora of hotels, hostels, and guesthouses to satisfy every budgets needs. Don attracks those who are searching for scuba diving and other adventure sports, but the biggest draw is due to the movie "The Beach". It starred Leo DiCaprio and Virginie Ledoyen, and was filmed on location on Phi Phi Li.

    Overburdened with tourists--you bet. But still Ko Phi Phi Don and Ko Phi Phi Li are two spectacular islands. And that brilliant blue water. Stunning.

    Excellent tips! Although I didn't partake in the Don Debauchery at the time (yeah, can ya believe it?!), I was there just weeks after "Leonardo & crew" left a trail of garbage behind in Maya Bay! No tourists yet but lots of junk food wrappers! Great page!
