THE PARADISE OF THE ANDAMAN SEA
The Phi Phi Islands rank among the most famous destinations in the world. Maya Bay was made world-famous by the film "The Beach" — turquoise water, white sandy beaches, and dramatic limestone cliffs.
With Seastar, you experience this paradise in an exclusive setting: a private longtail boat in Pileh Lagoon included, first-class service from a private pier, and an unforgettable day on the Andaman Sea.
Our Highlights
Khai Nai Island – A Relaxing Beach Stop
After exploring the dramatic scenery of the Phi Phi Islands, Khai Nai Island offers a lovely change of pace. This small island welcomes visitors with a white sandy beach and clear, shallow-looking turquoise water.
Take off your shoes and walk along the shore, or cool down with a swim. On our Phi Phi + Khai Island programme operated by Sea Star, Khai Nai is the beach stop before the return journey to Phuket.
Maya Bay
Maya Bay became the main filming location for the 1999 movie "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which turned it into a world-famous destination. Its fine white sand, emerald-clear water and towering limestone cliffs have earned it a place among Lonely Planet's most beautiful beaches in the world.
Following extensive natural recovery, the marine ecosystem has rebounded so well that young blacktip reef sharks are now commonly seen swimming in the shallows. To protect the coral, boats are no longer allowed to moor directly at the beach (access is via a wooden walkway from Loh Samah Bay), and swimming is limited to knee-deep water.
Pi Leh Bay: The Emerald Lagoon
Pi Leh Bay (also known as Pi Leh Lagoon) is one of the region's most famous photo spots: crystal-clear, emerald-green water fully enclosed by steep limestone mountains.
Local longtail boat operators often decorate the bow with cushions, rugs, fruit platters or refreshing drinks for souvenir photos. The lagoon can be reached by speedboat from Krabi or Phuket with a transfer to a longtail boat, or directly by chartering a longtail boat from Ko Phi Phi Don.
The Phi Phi Islands: Where the Name Comes From
The name "Phi Phi" originally comes from the Malay "Pulau Api-Api": Pulau means island, and Api-Api is the name of a mangrove species (Avicennia) that once grew densely across the islands. Over time, locals and travelers shortened it to "Api-Api", which eventually became "Phi Phi".
Before any permanent settlement, only the seafaring Urak Lawoi people (literally "people of the sea") roamed these waters, fishing and using the natural bays as shelter from the monsoon. Once known only to backpackers as a quiet island group, the area became a national park and shot to worldwide fame after the filming of "The Beach" (2000).
Monkey Beach on Phi Phi Don
Monkey Beach is one of the most memorable sights around Phi Phi Don. As our boat approaches the shore, keep an eye out for the wild monkeys that live among the trees and rocks.
The monkeys are wild animals, so please keep a safe distance, hold on to your belongings, and avoid feeding or touching them. Whether they appear close to the shore depends on the day—every encounter is a little different.
Viking Cave: The Bird's Nest Cave of Phi Phi Leh
On the coast of Phi Phi Leh stands Viking Cave, named after paintings of boats on its walls, some of which were thought to resemble Viking ships. Historical paintings of other boats and an elephant have also been recorded inside.
The cave has long been associated with the collection of swiftlet nests, a valued ingredient in Asian cuisine. Visitors usually see Viking Cave from the sea while travelling around Phi Phi Leh.
Lunch and Souvenir Shopping on Phi Phi
After lunch, there is time to stroll around Phi Phi Island.
Browse the small shops, discover local souvenirs and take home a little reminder of your day in the Phi Phi Islands.
Ton Sai Pier
Once a small fishing village, Ao Ton Sai was discovered by the first travelers in the late 1970s. As your speedboat or ferry approaches the bay, you'll see the long pier stretching into the turquoise water, with towering limestone mountains as a backdrop – a lasting first impression of the island.
From the pier, you step straight into Ton Sai village, lined with fresh seafood restaurants, trendy cafés and both Thai and international eateries. A seat overlooking the pier lets you take in the island's lively atmosphere: colorfully decorated longtail boats and tour boats coming and going without pause.
