Frequently asked questions
About Ko Phi Phi Don
Ko Phi Phi Don is a stunning island located in the Andaman Sea, known for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life. The local currency used on the island is Thai Baht. The island offers a mix of bustling beach parties and serene natural beauty, making it a popular destination for all types of travelers. Visitors can explore the lush jungles, relax on the white sandy beaches, or go snorkeling to discover the colorful underwater world. The island also boasts a variety of restaurants serving delicious Thai and international cuisine.
When to visit
The best time to visit Ko Phi Phi Don is during the dry season from November to April when the weather is sunny and dry. The temperatures are pleasant, and the sea is calm, perfect for swimming and water activities. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices. The wet season from May to October brings heavy rainfall and rough seas, making it less ideal for outdoor activities.
Getting around
Getting around Ko Phi Phi Don is mainly done on foot or by longtail boat. The island is small enough to explore on foot, and walking allows visitors to take in the stunning views at a leisurely pace. Longtail boats are a popular mode of transportation for island-hopping or reaching more remote beaches. Taxis and motorbike rentals are also available for those who prefer faster and more convenient travel.
Traveller tips
Remember to pack sunscreen and insect repellent as the sun can be strong and mosquitoes are prevalent. Respect the local culture and customs, such as dressing modestly when visiting temples. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water, especially during the hot and humid months. Bargain when shopping at local markets to get the best deals. Be mindful of your waste and dispose of trash properly to help preserve the island's natural beauty. Try the local street food for an authentic culinary experience.
