Krabi - Koh Phi Phi
Koh
Phi Phi (or Phi Phi island) consists of two islands, Phi Phi Don,
the larger one of the two with an abundance of fine beaches and
accommodation to suit all needs. The more geographically dramatic,
Phi Phi Leh, with its cliffs, natural caves and water-filled canyon
offers the tourists exciting and outdoor pursuits. Both islands
are in Krabi
province and are part of Nopparat Thara Beach/Koh Phi Phi Natioanl
Marine Park, about 42 Kilometers south of Phuket.
Phi Phi Islands The name is derived from Malay, and the original
was Pulao Pi ah Pi, where in pulao is the Malay word for island
, and pi,pronounced with only a haft p sound, was very close in
pronunciation to the English word "be"; the ah was eventually
dropped,so the name was said something like Bi Bi. (Read more about
