Map of Phi Phi Islands
This map of the Phi Phi Islands shows the main landmarks, beaches and hotel areas across the archipelago. Phi Phi sits about 40 kilometres southeast of Phuket and consists of two main islands plus a handful of smaller ones. All the hotels, restaurants, shops and nightlife are on the larger island, Phi Phi Don. The smaller island, Phi Phi Leh, is uninhabited and home to the famous Maya Bay. The map below covers the key areas worth knowing before you visit.
Tonsai Village and Tonsai Bay
Tonsai is where the ferries arrive and where most of the action is. The village sits on a narrow strip of flat land between Tonsai Bay on the south side and Loh Dalum Bay on the north. This is the busiest part of Phi Phi Don, packed with hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, dive shops, travel agencies, bars and small convenience stores. The streets are narrow and there are no cars on the island, so everything is on foot. Tonsai is loud and lively at night, especially along the beach bars on Loh Dalum, so keep this in mind when choosing where to stay.
Loh Dalum Bay
Loh Dalum is the postcard beach on the north side of the Tonsai strip. The bay is almost perfectly curved with shallow turquoise water at low tide. During the day it is a swimming and sunbathing spot. At night, the beach bars set up fire shows and music, and this becomes the centre of Phi Phi’s nightlife. Hotels directly on Loh Dalum are the most in demand, but they come with noise late into the night.
Long Beach
Long Beach is on the southeast coast of Phi Phi Don, about a 15-minute longtail boat ride from Tonsai Pier. It is much quieter than the Tonsai area with a handful of resorts spread along a wide stretch of sand. The water here is clear and good for snorkelling right off the beach. Long Beach suits travellers who want to be on Phi Phi but away from the party atmosphere. You can still reach Tonsai village easily by boat for restaurants and shopping.
Laem Tong and the North
The northern tip of Phi Phi Don is the most secluded part of the island. Laem Tong Beach is home to a few upscale resorts, and reaching them requires a longtail boat from Tonsai, about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the sea. There is a small Chao Lay (Sea Gypsy) community nearby. This end of the island feels like a different world from Tonsai. It is very quiet, the beach is long and uncrowded, and the resorts are self-contained with their own restaurants. Choose Laem Tong if you want peace and are happy being removed from the village.
Phi Phi Leh and Maya Bay
Phi Phi Leh is the smaller island to the south and is visited on day trips rather than overnight stays. Maya Bay is the main draw, made famous by the Leonardo DiCaprio film. The bay was closed for several years to allow the ecosystem to recover and now operates with visitor limits and time slots. Most visitors reach Phi Phi Leh by longtail or speedboat tour from Tonsai, often combined with snorkelling stops at Pileh Lagoon and Viking Cave.
Getting Around Phi Phi
There are no roads or vehicles on Phi Phi Don. Within Tonsai village, everything is on foot. To reach Long Beach, Laem Tong or the smaller bays around the island, you take a longtail boat from Tonsai Pier. Boats run throughout the day and prices are negotiable, though they are posted at the pier. The ferry from Phuket takes about 90 minutes, and boats also run from Krabi and Ao Nang.
