Koh Phi Phi Beaches
Don't let the map fool you into thinking that Phi Phi Don is an island similar to Phuket - it's not. 90% of the island is rugged mountainous jungle. There are no roads linking the beaches. Beach hopping can only be done by water taxi with the fare ranging from 40 baht from Ton Sai to Long Beach, rising to 300 baht each way if you would like to go up to Laem Tong Beach.
Here is a guide as to what each of the beaches has to offer.
- Ton Sai Bay - The beach where all the ferry boats arrive into Phi Phi Don. It's the hub of the larger island and the major tourist center. It offers a wide variety of accommodation from simple rooms at 200 baht a night up to resort hotels.
- Loh Dalam Bay - The beach on the other side of the cross bar of the "H" shape of the island.
- Long Beach - A popular destination for backpackers looking for cheap bungalow accommodation.
- Run Tee Bay - A few simple bungalows again more popular with backpackers or those looking for a beach experience on a budget. It's a popular beach for a quiet day, relaxing, sunbathing and swimming.
- Phak-Nam Bay - Another beach with no accommodations but a nice quiet place to go for the day by water taxi.
- Labagao Bay - Phi Phi Island Village a pleasant beach resort away from mainstream tourism with quality accommodation available from 2,000 baht.
- Laem Tong Beach - The most northerly tip of Phi Phi Don, quiet.
