The Phi Phi Islands in Thailand are renowned for their stunning limestone cliffs, vibrant turquoise waters, and white sandy beaches. Maya Bay, made famous by the movie "The Beach," is a major draw, though subject to closures for ecological recovery. Accessibility can be challenging, with boat trips being the primary mode of transport; some areas may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. Both solo and guided tours are popular, with guided tours offering convenient snorkeling and island-hopping options. The best time to visit is during the dry season (November to April) to avoid monsoon rains. A day trip can cost between $50 to $150 USD, depending on the tour operator and inclusions. A typical visit lasts one to three days, allowing ample time for swimming, snorkeling, diving, and exploring the various islands.
