About the ride from Koh Phangan to Koh Phi Phi

Koh Phangan's claim to fame is its famous Full Moon parties, which are said to be among the best in Thailand. Dance the night away because the island presents you with the most idyllic beaches and perfect strips of sands to recover from your hangover.

Those seeking daytime adventures can try their hand at sea kayaking, jet skiing, and more at Haad Rin or sign up for a diving or snorkeling session at Sail Rock. Take a break from all the water activities to discover the island's hidden waterfalls. If exploring culinary secrets is more your style, then head to the Thong Sala Night Market - a street food haven.

Spend a few hours exploring the stunningly beautiful island of Koh Phi Phi, and you will understand why it was picked to be the backdrop of the critically acclaimed movie, The Beach. The island stuns with its spectacular natural beauty; take a ferry to Phi Phi Leh National Park to appreciate its craggy cliffs and sparkling waters.

Hop on a long-tailed boat making stops along the way at Monkey Bay, Mosquito Island, and Bamboo Island and discover its underwater wonders, or better still, to view a spectacular sunset. Hike to the Ao Lo Dalam viewpoint or try your hand at rock climbing - the island's limestone karsts provide plenty of opportunities! But to experience the serenity of this beautiful piece of land, kayak your way around this island, taking in nothing but the sounds of nature.
