After spending a few days on Phi Phi Don, the larger of the two, I quickly grew tired of the navigating the island’s countless resorts, restaurants and souvenirs stands among the constant crush of other tourists.
I was easily swayed when I heard about the opportunity to spend a night docked at uninhabited Phi Phi Leh. Best known for Maya Bay, the location of Leonardo DiCaprio's personal paradise in the 2000 film The Beach, the island has been a top daytrip destination ever since the movie was released.
