The paradise Koh Phi Phi
Posted on December 28, 2022
Koh Phi Phi is a paradise where many people go to relax and see beautiful nature. It is also definitely worth it! It is a wonderful island with beautiful beaches, nice restaurants and plenty to do! You will also find many bars if you want to party, but that is certainly not necessary. We saw many beautiful things, had a delicious meal in the evening and drank cocktails on the beach while we were entertained by a fire show. We have collected our tips in this blog, so read on if you are also going to Koh Phi Phi!
How do you get there?
We took the ferry from Ao Nang on the way there and the speedboat on the way back. It takes two hours by ferry and an hour or half hour by speedboat. You can buy a ticket for around €13. We recommend that you arrange it via 12go.asia . You can also take the boat to Koh Phi Phi from other islands and Railay beach.
Where and how long will you stay in Koh Phi Phi?
We slept at Phi Phi Villa Resort. A resort within walking distance of the center, but just outside the hustle and bustle. We noticed that all accommodations on Phi Phi are a bit more expensive, but there are also cheaper options.
We stayed on Koh Phi Phi for three nights and we thought this was sufficient. We did a boat tour, visited the viewpoint and relaxed further. We don't think it's necessary to stay longer on the island, but if you're looking for a place to relax, we can imagine you staying more nights!
What can you do in Koh Phi Phi?
• Climb some stairs and enjoy the view at the viewpoint! From the center you take the stairs up to viewpoint 1 and 2. You have to pay 30 baht (€ 0.82) for access to the viewpoint and we recommend walking directly to viewpoint 2. The view is beautiful!
• Book a (private) longtail boat and discover Koh Phi Phi Leh! You can see many beautiful things here, such as Maya bay, Phi Leh lagoon and Monkey beach. If you want to avoid the crowds, go as early as possible! Bamboo Island is also close to Koh Phi Phi and is said to be beautiful. During the tour you also get the opportunity to snorkel and we have never seen so many different fish, it is beautiful!
• Relax on one of the beaches. Koh Phi Phi has beautiful beaches, so plenty of choice! For example, go to Tonsai beach or Long beach.
• Watch a fire show! Sit on the beach at one of the bars and enjoy a fire show. We sat at Carlito's bar and this was a very nice bar with delicious cocktails!
• If you feel like being a bit more active, it's also fun to go kayaking. You can also snorkel beautifully here and it seems that you can also dive well here.
Where can you get a good meal?
The small center consists of restaurants and bars, so you have plenty to choose from. Koh Phi Phi was our last destination and we ate less Thai here than at the other destinations. Our tips are:
ACQUA Restaurant
A very good restaurant if you have to eat gluten free! They have a whole page on the menu with all gluten-free dishes listed. This makes it very easy to make a choice. You can also enjoy delicious food here, Western or Thai. Highly recommended!
Patcharee French Bakery
The place for breakfast or lunch! They have a very extensive menu with gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan options. The coffee and smoothies are good and the smoothie bowl is also recommended!
The Mango Garden
Do you love mango? Then don't miss The Mango Garden! They have desserts with mango, smoothies, but also a delicious Western breakfast.
The Coffee Club
There is also a Coffee Club on Koh Phi Phi. A nice place for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you are looking for western food! The lemonades are very tasty and the mango passion fruit frappe is also wonderfully cooling.
