Things to do in Koh Phi Phi

There is so much to do on this beautiful little island. From rock climbing to cliff jumping, amazing snorkelling, awesome dive sites and many other adventures. And, when the sun goes down it’s party time as the beach fills with revellers enjoying music, fire shows and buckets a-plenty!

Take a Longtail Boat to Bamboo Island

If white sandy beaches are clear turquoise waters are your thing, then be sure to spend a day at Bamboo Island. Go early morning if you can, to avoid the crowds! Expect to pay around 200 baht per person, for the boat trip there and back.

Visit Maya Bay – The Beach

Take a boat to the famous Maya Bay. The best way to do it is to book a boat trip that includes snorkelling, kayaking and trekking on the island. Expect to spend a whole day! But be warned, you won’t be alone at this tourist hotspot.

Trek to the viewpoint

If you’re an early riser, then trekking to the viewpoint is well worth the effort! With incredible views across the bay and all the way out to Koh Phi Phi Ley, it’s that picture-postcard view that will take your breath away (if the hike hasn’t already).

Drink buckets on the beach

Phi Phi is not only famous for being the setting of The Beach, but also for its notorious nightlife. With bars lining the beach, dance floors, fire dancing performances and music heard from across the island, it’s the ideal place for a backpacker to let their hair down and make some friends.

Be sure to get a roti or a baguette on your way home to soak up that whisky. And if you must try your hand at Muay Thai fighting when you’re absolutely pissed out of your face – don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Learn to dive

Surrounding the main pier are dive shops galore. With resident leopard sharks, lots of wrecks and clear waters, this is the ideal place to get your PADI qualification! Trust us, you won’t regret taking the plunge…

Getting there:

It’s super easy to get to Koh Phi Phi, wherever you are!

From Bangkok: Any travel agent will arrange your trip down to Koh Phi Phi. The easiest/cheapest way is to get a combo ticket, for the bus and ferry. Usually around 1000 baht for the whole ticket. Or you can travel by train and then catch the ferry. A more scenic route, but also more expensive.

From Koh Phangan/Koh Samui/Koh Tao: Again, visit any travel agent on the island and they will organize your combo ticket. It’s a ferry to the mainland, then a bus across the peninsula, and one last ferry to the island. Around 400 baht.
