With the turquoise blue waters, white sandy beaches, and laid back island vibe, Koh Phi Phi is a sought after destinations for backpackers, families, and travellers young and old. Located between the large island of Phuket and the west Strait of Malacca coast of the mainland, Koh Phi Phi is a small archipelago of six islands in the Krabi province in Southern Thailand. Of the six islands in this archipelago, Koh Phi Phi (or Koh Phi Phi Don) is the largest and only populated island, but the other islands can be easily visited.
I visited Koh Phi Phi on a trip to Southeast Asia with my sister in December 2014. We toured around Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos for 28 days, and with all these countries being rather large, with lots to see, it’s pretty obvious that 28 days is never going to be enough to see everything. We strategically picked out places that worked into our itinerary and that were on our “must-do” list, and Koh Phi Phi obviously made the cut.
So what do you do when you have limited time in a gorgeous paradise like Koh Phi Phi? Here’s a sample itinerary to make the most of your stay that was inspired by our trip there. We wanted to have the perfect mix of activities to do, and also time to relax and enjoy the beaches.
