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.
