- [Where do you dive at Koh Phi Phi once you're certified?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/advanced-diving-koh-phi-phi): For certified divers, the best sites around Phi Phi are Bida Nok and Bida Nai (leopard sharks, turtles, coral walls), Anemone Reef and Shark Point (Hin Musang), and the King Cruiser wreck between Phuket and Phi Phi. Further south, on an advanced day trip, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang bring manta rays and whale sharks (mostly February-May). Best season: November to April for visibility. Book a fun-diving trip for certified divers; beginners start with a discovery dive or the Open Water. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/advanced-diving-koh-phi-phi
- [Which Andaman Sea islands should you visit, and how do you combine them?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/andaman-sea-islands-guide): The Andaman Sea is Thailand's southwest coast: Phuket, Krabi (Ao Nang, Railay), Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Koh Yao, the Trang islands (Koh Muk, Koh Ngai, Koh Kradan), Koh Lipe and the Similan and Surin marine parks. Koh Phi Phi sits in the middle, about 1 hour by speedboat from Phuket, Krabi or Koh Lanta. Best season: November to April. For a first 7 to 10 day trip, combine Phuket or Krabi, 3 nights on Phi Phi, then Krabi or Koh Lanta. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/andaman-sea-islands-guide
- [Bamboo Island in Phi Phi: how to get there and when to swim there?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/bamboo-island-koh-phi-phi): Bamboo Island, or Koh Mai Phai, is a small white sand island in the north of the Phi Phi archipelago. Its shallow and calm water makes it ideal for swimming with your family. We go there by boat, often on a day trip. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/bamboo-island-koh-phi-phi
- [How to get from Bangkok to Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/bangkok-to-koh-phi-phi-complete-transport-guide): Fastest: flight Bangkok → Krabi (1h20) + ferry Krabi → Phi Phi (about 2h20, or 1h by speedboat), total 5-6h door to door, 2,500-4,500 THB. Alternative: Bangkok → Phuket + ferry Phuket → Phi Phi (5-6h, similar price). Night train Bangkok → Surat Thani + bus + ferry = 12-16h, 1,500 THB, for flexible travelers. No direct flight to Koh Phi Phi (no airport). FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/bangkok-to-koh-phi-phi-complete-transport-guide
- [Can you see bioluminescent plankton at Koh Phi Phi, and when?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/bioluminescent-plankton-koh-phi-phi): Yes, and it's one of the island's most magical experiences: stir the water at night and the plankton lights up electric blue. Best window: October to March, on moonless nights (moonlight kills the effect). October-November is excellent (still-warm water, plankton abundant after the monsoon). It's a natural phenomenon, so it's irregular, impossible to guarantee; confirm 24h ahead with a local guide who knows where and when the water is glowing. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/bioluminescent-plankton-koh-phi-phi
- [What is a boat party really like in Phi Phi, and how can you experience it your way?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/boat-party-koh-phi-phi): A boat party in Phi Phi is all about festive sunset cruises, pirate boats and night plankton tours. Everyone has their own atmosphere. And for more peace and quiet, you can privatize a long-tail or a speedboat just for your group. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/boat-party-koh-phi-phi
- [What budget should you plan for Koh Phi Phi in 2026?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/budget-koh-phi-phi-2026): Around €170 for 3 nights in backpacker mode (hostel, street food, one excursion), €390 in mid-range (3★ hotel, restaurants, two outings) and €850+ in resort version.

- [How many days should you spend on Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/combien-de-jours-a-koh-phi-phi): 3 nights minimum to enjoy peacefully. 2 nights if you are in a hurry (you will only see one end), 4-5 if you want to combine Phi Phi Don + Phi Phi Leh + a long excursion like Bamboo Island + relaxation. Less than 2 nights doesn't make sense: you spend more time on the ferry than in Phi Phi. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/combien-de-jours-a-koh-phi-phi
- [How to get from Bangkok to Krabi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/comment-aller-de-bangkok-a-krabi): There is no direct ferry between Bangkok and Krabi: the two cities are separated by 780 km and Bangkok does not overlook the Andaman Sea. The fastest: flight Bangkok→Krabi (1h20, 900-2,500 THB, around ten flights per day). The cheapest: night bus (12-1 p.m., 700-1,100 THB). The train stops in Surat Thani, never in Krabi.

- [How do you get from Chiang Mai to Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/comment-aller-de-chiang-mai-a-koh-phi-phi): There's no direct link: Chiang Mai is in the far north, Koh Phi Phi in the far south. The easiest way is a flight Chiang Mai to Krabi (~2h) then the Krabi to Phi Phi ferry (about 2h20, or 1h by speedboat) - about 6-7h door to door, 2,400-5,000 THB. If the Krabi flight is pricey or full, route via Phuket. Avoid the train/bus: 20h+ from the north. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/comment-aller-de-chiang-mai-a-koh-phi-phi
- [How do you get from Khao Lak to Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/comment-aller-de-khao-lak-a-koh-phi-phi): Easiest: a minivan transfer Khao Lak to Phuket (Rassada Pier, ~1h30) then the Phuket to Phi Phi ferry (about 2h20) - total 4-6h, 900-1,600 THB.

- [How do you get from Koh Phangan to Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/comment-aller-de-koh-phangan-a-koh-phi-phi): Koh Phangan is in the Gulf, Koh Phi Phi in the Andaman Sea - you cross the peninsula. The usual way is a combined ferry + bus + ferry ticket via Surat Thani and Krabi (9-13h, 1,200-1,700 THB). Faster: ferry Koh Phangan to Koh Samui, fly Samui to Krabi, then ferry (6-7h, 4,500-7,000 THB). FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/comment-aller-de-koh-phangan-a-koh-phi-phi
- [How do you get from Koh Tao to Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/comment-aller-de-koh-tao-a-koh-phi-phi): Koh Tao is in the Gulf (east coast), Koh Phi Phi in the Andaman Sea (west) - you have to cross the peninsula. The usual way is a combined ferry + bus + ferry ticket via Surat Thani and Krabi (10-14h, 1,200-1,800 THB). Faster but pricier: catamaran Koh Tao to Koh Samui, fly Samui to Krabi, then ferry (6-8h, 4,500-7,000 THB). FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/comment-aller-de-koh-tao-a-koh-phi-phi

- [How do you get from Pattaya to Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/comment-aller-de-pattaya-a-koh-phi-phi): Fastest: a flight from U-Tapao airport (UTP, 30 min from Pattaya) to Phuket or Krabi, then a ferry to Phi Phi (total 6-8h, 2,500-4,500 THB). Otherwise, transfer Pattaya to Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi, 1.5-2h) + flight to Krabi + ferry. No direct sea link. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/comment-aller-de-pattaya-a-koh-phi-phi
- [How to get from Phuket to Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/comment-aller-de-phuket-a-koh-phi-phi): Two options: regular ferry (from 750 THB, about 2h20, 4-5 departures/day from Rassada Pier) or express speedboat (from 1,000 THB, about 1 hour, more tiring).

FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/comment-aller-de-phuket-a-koh-phi-phi
- [Do island hopping tours in Phi Phi often get cancelled during monsoon?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/do-phi-phi-tours-get-cancelled-monsoon): No, the vast majority of monsoon days (May–October) run normally: captains adapt the route to the sheltered side of the islands and favour morning departures. A tour is only cancelled when the marine authorities suspend boat traffic or the captain judges the sea unsafe, and in that case our terms are explicit: full refund or free rescheduling, your choice. The real monsoon risk isn't losing your money; it's needing to shift your trip by one day. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/do-phi-phi-tours-get-cancelled-monsoon

The nearest airport is Krabi (KBV). Allow a ferry ride of about 2h20 (from 750 THB from Phuket, 900 THB from Krabi) or a speedboat of about 1 hour (from 1,000-1,050 THB) from Phuket or Krabi; from Bangkok, a flight to Krabi or Phuket then a boat transfer. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/how-to-get-to-koh-phi-phi

Staying on the island is the best option to see Maya Bay at sunrise before the mainland boats arrive (from 900 THB). For a day trip, expect 1,900 to 2,600 THB per person from Krabi or Phuket with hotel transfers included, or a private speedboat from 12,700 THB per boat. Both options are bookable with us, a local agency based on Koh Phi Phi. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/how-to-visit-koh-phi-phi
- [Is Koh Phi Phi worth it, or is it too touristy?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/is-koh-phi-phi-worth-it): Yes, it's worth it, as long as you dodge the midday day-tripper wave (11am-2pm) that pours in from Phuket and Krabi. The scenery genuinely ranks among the most beautiful in Asia; what disappoints people is seeing it at peak crowd. The fix: sleep on the island (Maya Bay at sunrise nearly alone), hit sites early morning or late afternoon, pick the calm beaches (Bamboo, Loh Samah, the north), and come in green season for 40-50% fewer people and lower prices. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/is-koh-phi-phi-worth-it
- [Is Koh Phi Phi dangerous? (sharks, jellyfish)](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/is-phi-phi-safe-sharks-jellyfish): No, Koh Phi Phi is a very safe swimming and snorkeling destination. The sharks you'll see are blacktip reef sharks, shy and harmless to humans, in fact a snorkeling attraction. Jellyfish are possible but rare on the Andaman side; serious stings (box jellyfish) are exceptional here. The real risks at Phi Phi are more mundane: sunburn, sea urchins, currents, and scooter injuries on the mainland. Listen to your guide and you'll be fine.

It's the perfect jungle counterpoint to a beach trip. Budget 2 nights (one on the lake). Reachable from Surat Thani (~1h30-2h), Khao Lak, or by transfer from Krabi/Phuket.

Reachable by speedboat from Koh Phi Phi (Tonsai), Koh Lanta and Koh Muk. For travellers after a wild beach and tranquility, not urban comfort or nightlife. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/koh-kradan-travel-guide
- [Is Koh Lanta worth it, and how do you get there?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/koh-lanta-travel-guide): Koh Lanta is the island where you slow down: long quiet beaches, a laid-back vibe, a charming old town, ideal for families and couples escaping the crowds. It's connected to Koh Phi Phi by speedboat (~1h, Saladan pier, see [Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi speedboat](/en/from/koh-lanta/to/koh-phi-phi) times) and to Krabi airport by road (~2h with car ferries). It fits perfectly at the end of an itinerary: Krabi → Phi Phi → Koh Lanta, then a road transfer to the airport without depending on a boat on flight day. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/koh-lanta-travel-guide
- [Is Koh Muk worth it, and what is the Emerald Cave?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/koh-muk-travel-guide): Koh Muk (Koh Mook) is a small, quiet island in Trang province, further south, famous for its Emerald Cave (Tham Morakot): you swim through a dark sea tunnel about 80m long that opens onto a hidden beach at the bottom of a limestone chimney, spectacular.

Perfect for couples and calm-lovers; pair it with Koh Muk and Koh Kradan. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/koh-ngai-travel-guide
- [Which month to choose for Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/koh-phi-phi-by-month): January-February = optimum (flat sea, clear sky, little rain). November-December = very good, hotels still reasonable before peak. March-April = hot (33-36C) but dry. May-June = nascent monsoon, hotels 30-40% cheaper, short tropical showers. July-October = avoid (rough sea, punctual closures, lasting rains). Songkran (mid-April) and Chinese NY (late January-early February) = crowd peaks.

- [Is Koh Phi Phi good for a couple or a honeymoon?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/koh-phi-phi-couples-honeymoon): Yes, if you pick the right base and the right moments. For romance, stay in the north (Laem Tong, Loh Bagao) or at Railay on the Krabi side, calm beaches, isolated resorts, rather than the party heart of Tonsai. Couple highlights: a private Maya Bay sunrise, a private longtail to quiet coves, sunset at the viewpoint, and bioluminescent plankton on moonless nights. November to April for the safest weather; May to October for resorts 30-50% cheaper and islands to yourselves. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/koh-phi-phi-couples-honeymoon
- [Koh Phi Phi with children: good or bad idea?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/koh-phi-phi-en-famille): Very good idea, provided you choose wisely. Sleep on the Loh Dalum or Laem Tong side (shallow, calm water), avoid the heart of Tonsai at night (bars), favor short boat trips in the morning, and plan for park fees (200 THB per child aged 4-11). Bamboo Island is THE beach for children: easy swimming in 50 cm of crystal clear water. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/koh-phi-phi-en-famille
- [Should you go to Koh Phi Phi or Krabi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/koh-phi-phi-ou-krabi): Both if you have 5+ days (see [how many days on Koh Phi Phi](/en/guides/how-many-days-in-koh-phi-phi)). If you have to choose: Koh Phi Phi for the postcard beaches, the island atmosphere, Maya Bay and snorkeling; Krabi (Ao Nang or Railay) for more choice of hotels, climbing, mangrove kayaking, more budget/comfort. Both are about 2h20 apart by ferry (1h by speedboat). FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/koh-phi-phi-ou-krabi
- [What happened on Koh Phi Phi in the 2004 tsunami, and is the island safe today?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/koh-phi-phi-tsunami-2004): On 26 December 2004 the Indian Ocean tsunami struck Koh Phi Phi Don.

Krabi averages 25-35% cheaper than Phuket at equivalent comfort. The two swing factors: accommodation and boat excursions. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/krabi-daily-budget
- [In what order should I do Krabi, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/krabi-phi-phi-lanta-in-what-order): The most logical order: Krabi first (you land there, Ao Nang, Railay, 4 Islands), Koh Phi Phi in the middle (the wow, 2 nights is enough), Koh Lanta last (calm, then a road transfer to Krabi airport without depending on a boat on flight day). For a 10-night trip: 4 Krabi + 2 Phi Phi + 4 Lanta is an excellent split (doing it the other way round? see the [boats from Koh Lanta to Phi Phi](/en/from/koh-lanta/to/koh-phi-phi)). Ending on Koh Lanta rather than Phi Phi secures your return flight, because Lanta is road-connected to the airport. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/krabi-phi-phi-lanta-in-what-order
- [How do I get from Ton Sai Pier (Koh Phi Phi) back to Ao Nang after 6pm?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/last-boat-phi-phi-to-ao-nang): There is no scheduled boat after around 5pm. The last Tonsai → Ao Nang departure is a speedboat near 17:00 (with hotel transfer), preceded by departures around 16:45, 16:15, 16:00 and 15:30. After that, your only option is a chartered private speedboat (expensive, weather-permitting), otherwise you sleep on the island and leave the next morning. Never schedule an evening meeting in Ao Nang on the day you leave Phi Phi. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/last-boat-phi-phi-to-ao-nang
- [Longtail or speedboat to explore Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/longtail-vs-speedboat-phi-phi): It depends where you start. On Koh Phi Phi itself, a private traditional longtail is perfect for exploring Phi Phi Leh (Maya Bay, Pileh, Bamboo) at your own pace: authentic, calm, and affordable (2,500 THB for 2h, whole boat, up to 8 people). A speedboat is needed whenever there's distance or swell, and from Phuket, it's speedboat only (too far for a longtail). Simple rule: longtail to linger around Phi Phi, speedboat to cover distance fast. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/longtail-vs-speedboat-phi-phi
- [What do we know about Maya Bay?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/maya-bay-2026-reopening-real-truth): Maya Bay is open: it reopened on 1 October 2026 after its annual conservation closure (every year from August 1 to September 30, National Park/DNP). Next closure: August 1 to September 30, 2027. The rest of the year: strict quota of 300 visitors at a time and an entrance fee of 400 THB in cash. No anchorage in the bay, disembarkation by Loh Samah. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/maya-bay-2026-reopening-real-truth
- [Maya Bay or Bamboo Island: what to visit in Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/maya-bay-vs-bamboo-island): Maya Bay for legendary photography (limestone cliffs, horseshoe bay), Bamboo Island for swimming and snorkeling in crystal clear water. The correct answer: both in the same day, most tours combine both stops. Please note, Maya Bay closes every year from August 1 to September 30. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/maya-bay-vs-bamboo-island
- [When is the best time to visit Maya Bay?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/meilleure-periode-pour-maya-bay): From November to mid-April: dry season, calm sea, optimal underwater visibility. The golden months are January and February (clear skies, little rain, manageable crowds). Please note: Maya Bay closes every year from August 1 to September 30 for the regeneration of the national park, and October remains in full monsoon. The rest of the year, occasional closures of a few days are possible in the event of strong swells. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/meilleure-periode-pour-maya-bay
- [What should you know before going to Monkey Beach on Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/monkey-beach-koh-phi-phi): Monkey Beach is a small monkey cove south of Koh Phi Phi Don, accessible by longtail from Ton Sai. Macaques are wild: never feed them and keep your distance. Come early in the morning for calm seas and few people. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/monkey-beach-koh-phi-phi
- [Is Koh Phi Phi worth visiting in December?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/phi-phi-in-december): Yes for the weather, it is the peak of high season: 0 to 3 days of rain, flat sea, the best underwater visibility of the year, Maya Bay open every day. But it is also the most expensive and most crowded month, especially from 20 December to 5 January, when hotels climb by 50 to 80% and the Maya Bay quota is reached by mid-morning. Come before the 20th if you can, and book tours, transfers and hotel several days ahead. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/phi-phi-in-december
- [Is Koh Phi Phi worth visiting in November?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/phi-phi-in-november): Yes, and it is probably our favourite month. November marks the start of high season: from mid-November the sky is dry and sunny most days, the sea is flat again, Maya Bay has been open since 1 October, and Loy Krathong (24-25 November 2026) lights up Tonsai Bay. Prices rise (the Pirate Boat moves to 2,200 THB on 1 November) but hotels stay reasonable until mid-December. The one thing to watch: availability fills up, so book tours and transfers a few days ahead. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/phi-phi-in-november
- [Is Koh Phi Phi worth visiting in October?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/phi-phi-in-october): Yes, especially in the second half of the month. October is the transition month: the southwest monsoon runs out of steam, rain decreases week by week, the sea calms down, and Maya Bay reopened on 1 October 2026 after its annual closure. Prices stay close to the September floor and the beaches are still empty. The only real drawback: the first days of the month can still be choppy, so keep one buffer night before your flight. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/phi-phi-in-october
- [Is Koh Phi Phi worth visiting in September?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/phi-phi-in-september): September is the wettest, roughest month of the year at Phi Phi, and Maya Bay is closed (every year from August 1 to September 30). But the island is not "dead": restaurants, bars, diving and island tours keep running, hotels are 40–50% cheaper than January, and the beaches are nearly empty. It's an excellent month for flexible travellers, and the worst one for a tightly-packed schedule. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/phi-phi-in-september
- [Will monsoon ruin our island-hopping honeymoon (May–October)?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/phi-phi-monsoon-honeymoon): No, provided you build the trip for the season instead of ignoring it. May–June and October are genuinely good honeymoon months: short squalls, quiet islands, resorts 30–50% cheaper, upgrade instead of enduring. July–August need a flexible schedule. September is the only month we advise against for a rigid honeymoon itinerary. The keys: private morning departures, one buffer day, and letting the captain pick the sheltered side. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/phi-phi-monsoon-honeymoon
- [I have a flight from Phuket, what time should I leave Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/phi-phi-to-phuket-airport-what-time): Count the full journey: speedboat Phi Phi → Rassada pier ~1h (ferry ~2h20), then Rassada → Phuket airport (HKT) ~1h by road, plus check-in buffer (2-3h international, 1h30 domestic). In practice: for a 17:30 international flight, take the ~12:00 speedboat (or the ~10:00 ferry). Golden rule: never leave on flight day without a big buffer, on a rough-sea day, the crossing can be cancelled. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/phi-phi-to-phuket-airport-what-time
- [What is the Pileh lagoon, and how can you visit it peacefully?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/pileh-lagoon-koh-phi-phi): Pileh Lagoon is a turquoise natural pool, surrounded by cliffs, on the island of Phi Phi Leh. You can swim there in calm, shallow water. To have peace of mind, leave early: the big boats arrive mid-morning. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/pileh-lagoon-koh-phi-phi
- [Can you dive on Koh Phi Phi without experience or certification?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/plongee-koh-phi-phi-debutant): Yes. Discovery diving (Discover Scuba Diving) is open from 10 years old, without certification or experience: theoretical briefing in the morning, exercises in shallow water, then 1 to 2 supervised dives between 6 and 12 meters, for 3,700 THB per day. The Phi Phi sites (Bida Nok, Loh Samah) are among the easiest in Thailand: water at 29°C, little current, visibility of 10 to 25 meters, and harmless blacktip sharks on almost every dive. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/plongee-koh-phi-phi-debutant
- [What are the most beautiful beaches on Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/plus-belles-plages-koh-phi-phi): Long Beach is best for swimming, with its reef right on the shore. Loh Dalum and Nui Bay offer calm, especially early in the morning. Maya Bay remains the icon, but you don't swim there: it's a visit of around 1 hour. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/plus-belles-plages-koh-phi-phi
- [Is Railay worth it, and how do you get there?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/railay-travel-guide): Railay is a Krabi peninsula so ringed by limestone cliffs that no road reaches it: you arrive only by longtail (10-15 min from Ao Nang). It's Thailand's rock-climbing mecca, with superb beaches (Railay West for sunset, Phra Nang among the country's finest) and a car-free, laid-back vibe. Ideal for couples, climbers and lovers of dramatic scenery; a great base for boat trips (Hong Islands, 4 Islands, Phi Phi). 2-3 nights is enough. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/railay-travel-guide
- [Where to go snorkeling on Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/snorkeling-koh-phi-phi): The best snorkeling spots on Koh Phi Phi are Nui Bay, Loh Samah, Bamboo Island and the area around Monkey Beach. You can see colorful fish and corals at shallow depths, ideal for beginners. The secret: leave early in the morning, when the water is clear and the spots are almost empty. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/snorkeling-koh-phi-phi
- [Is Maya Bay the beach from The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio, and can you visit it?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/the-beach-movie-maya-bay): Yes. The Beach (2000), Danny Boyle's film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was shot in 1999 at Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi Leh. The film made it world famous; the crowds that followed damaged the reef, and the bay was closed from June 2018 to January 2022 to recover. It is open again under strict rules, and closes every year from 1 August to 30 September. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/the-beach-movie-maya-bay
- [What to do in Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/things-to-do-koh-phi-phi): The essentials: Maya Bay at sunrise, tour of the islands in a longtail or speedboat (Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach, Bamboo Island), snorkeling on the reefs, PADI diving, the climb to Phi Phi Viewpoint, and a sunset followed by bioluminescent plankton. Allow 2 to 3 days to do everything without running. The secret is to leave early, before the day trips to Phuket and Krabi. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/things-to-do-koh-phi-phi
- [What is the nightlife like on Koh Phi Phi, and what to expect in Tonsai at night?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/vie-nocturne-koh-phi-phi): In the evening, Tonsai comes alive with its bars with its feet in the sand and its fire shows on Loh Dalum Bay. The island has no cars or scooters, so you explore everything on foot, in complete peace and quiet. It's festive, dense and easy-going, with quieter corners if you're looking to take a breather. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/vie-nocturne-koh-phi-phi
- [Koh Phi Phi solo: good idea? Is it safe?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/voyage-solo-koh-phi-phi): Phi Phi is one of the easiest islands in Thailand to travel alone: no cars, a single pedestrian village, social hostels and group tours where you meet people in a day. Very safe, including for single women, precautions boil down to watching your drink in the evening and your belongings at the beach. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/voyage-solo-koh-phi-phi
- [Which area should I stay in on Koh Phi Phi?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/where-to-stay-koh-phi-phi): Tonsai (the village) for buzz, nightlife, restaurants and direct ferry/excursion access, but noisy at night. Long Beach for the ideal compromise: lovely beach, snorkeling off the shore, calm, 15 min by longtail or 25 min on foot from Tonsai. Laem Tong (north) for isolated luxury resorts and a quiet honeymoon, but you depend on a boat for everything. Families and couples: Long Beach or the north. Partygoers and tight budgets: Tonsai. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/where-to-stay-koh-phi-phi
- [What happens if I cancel, or if the weather stops my Koh Phi Phi tour?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/booking-cancellation-weather-policy): Free cancellation and a full refund up to 48 hours before departure; 50% retained between 48 and 24 hours; no refund under 24 hours or for a no-show. Free date change up to 48 hours before, subject to availability. If we cancel for bad weather, maritime safety or force majeure, you get a full refund or a free new date. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/booking-cancellation-weather-policy
- [How to visit Bangkok in 2026 with a French-speaking guide?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/guide-francophone-bangkok): Most of Bangkok can be visited in 2-3 days (Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, floating markets, Chinatown). Our team organizes private days with a certified French-speaking guide: Ayutthaya in private, Bangkok Classic (Palais + klongs), Bangkok off-beat (Thonburi far from the crowds), gourmet tuk-tuk. Everything can be booked directly via WhatsApp, without an intermediary. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/guide-francophone-bangkok
- [What itinerary for 7 days in Thailand from Bangkok to the islands?](https://phiphiparadise.travel/en/guides/thailand-7-day-itinerary-from-bangkok-to-islands): Optimal 7-day itinerary: D1-D2 Bangkok (temples, floating markets, Chao Phraya dinner), D3 flight Krabi + transfer Ao Nang, D4 4 Islands Tour or Hong Islands, D5 ferry Phi Phi + Tonsai sunset, D6 Maya Bay + Pileh + Bamboo Island, D7 return ferry Phuket and flight. Budget: 25,000-40,000 THB per person ex-international flights for mid-upscale comfort. FR: https://phiphiparadise.travel/fr/guides/thailand-7-day-itinerary-from-bangkok-to-islands
