Phi Phi Leh (Phi Phi Ley):
|
 Phi
Phi Ley is an uninhabited island whose natural beauty is still
unspoiled. The island is mostly composed of towering limestone
cliffs that spring up at right angles with the blue water surface.
The water is brightly turquoise with the abundant coral reefs
and species of fish. There are several magnificent beaches and
scenic islands standing offshore. There is no accommodation on
Phi Phi Lei, as most of the island is composed of sheer cliffs
and small lagoons with teeming fish. Trips leave every day for
sightseeing and snorkelling, especially good for beginners as
the water is warm, absolutely clear, and shallow.
Made famous as a location for the Hollywood film "The Beach."
Great for snorkelling, lots of coral gardens and colourful fish,
although can get a little busy in high season!
Lo Samah bay is located on the southern tip of Phi Phi Le, offering
the remarkably breathtaking panorama. Its clear waters and its
flourishing coral beds are good for skin diving
 Viking
Cave is the immense cave named after the pictographs on the wall
of the cave which indistinctly resemble to ancient Viking ships.
This cave was renamed by H.M Rama IX when he visited it in 1972,
which resembles in shape the head of the great serpent of Buddhist
legend is a revered place of local people who come to collect
the swift's nests that is used to make Bird's Nest Soup, a Chinese
delicacy. The cave is a spectacular scene created by the nature
itself; cave and a sea lake formed by a clef between the two cliffs
that allows water to enter into a bowl-shaped canyon wherein several
nice hidden beaches are shaped. Visitors can stop to relax and
snorkel here.
