Mu Koh Phi Phi (Phi Phi Islands)
Famouse island for travelers from all walks of life as being among the most beautiful tropical islands of the world,
Phi Phi Islands have become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand. In addition, the islands are
famous as
the location where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Di Caprio was shot. The islands, together with
the nearby Noppharat Thara Beach, a total area of about 390 square kilometers, were recently established as
a
national park.
Koh Phi Phi is located about 40 kilometers from Krabi and Phuket Thus, despite the fact that both Noppharat Thara Beach and Phi Phi administratively are a part of Krabi Province, most tourists think that Koh Phi Phi is part of Phuket Province.
Koh Phi Phi and the coastal hills are composed mainly of limestone and are an extension of the limestone mountain range in Phang-Nga Province. The main characteristics of these mountains and islands are their steep cliffs, large caves and dwarf trees growing out of the rock crevices, like those in Phang-Nga Bay.
