Ko Phi Phi Leh
A part of the Ko Phi Phi archipelago, I’m sure every travel maniac has heard about this island, especially after being the main filming location for Leonardo DiCaprio’s “The Beach” movie from 2000. Though the movie was highly criticized by Thailand officials for environmental issues and for messing Thailand’s image, there’s no doubt that for Ko Phi Phi it was the best thing that could ever happen for local tourism.
Located in the Krabi province, the island was almost completely destroyed by a tsunami in 2004, rebuilding efforts were made and now the island is welcoming tourists again, with its beautiful limestone cliffs and shallow bays which offer amazing views and are a paradise for divers.
