These two islands, Koh Phi-Phi Don and Koh Phi-Phi Leh, are a one and a half-hour boat ride from Krabi Town. In the past few years they have become favorites with visitors to Thailand due to their stunning scenery - sheer cliffs, jungle-clad mountains and pristine beaches. Moviegoers from around the world will recognize Koh Phi-Phi Leh, as it was used as a setting for the film The Beach. Koh Phi-Phi Don is where the accommodation is located, and there are five-star resorts and humble huts, depending on your mood for luxury or simplicity. Activities on the island range from hiking to cliff climbing, scuba diving to sports fishing. Many divers are repeat visitors and claim that the waters surrounding the islands are some of the best in the world. There is also an easily accessible shipwreck that can be explored. Krabi's excellent assortment of restaurants offer spicy local dishes, Thai food, Western food and, of course, seafood. After you have had your fill of food and adventure, there are lovely stretches of white sand beach on which to relax and soak up the sun.
