Koh Phi Phi
Koh Phi Phi is an extraordinary holiday destination. The twin
Phi Phi islands, 30 miles (48km) east of Phuket, are
world-renowned, particularly since the making of the Hollywood box
office sensation,
The Beach. Phi Phi Leh, the smaller of the two islands,
was the setting for this movie, and now draws scores of day
trippers from Phuket, just a 45-minute boat ride away. The island
has no accommodation and is accessible only by boat, but offers
sensational snorkelling and the Viking Cave with wall
paintings.
Phi Phi Don, the larger island, has idyllic tropical beaches
lining its shores and Ton Sai Bay, the main tourist centre on Phi
Phi, may be a little overdeveloped for some visitors wanting a
relaxed beach holiday. Although overrun by tourists, the islands
retain their spectacular quiet beauty.
Information & Facts
Language
Thai is the official language, although English is widely
spoken in tourist areas.
Money
The unit of currency is the Baht (THB), which is divided
into 100 satang. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, banks,
hotels and bureaux de change. Banks are open Monday to Friday. ATMs
are available in most cities and tourist resorts. Most large hotels
and shops accept travellers cheques, but a better rate will be
given at banks. Most major credit cards are accepted at hotels and
larger businesses.
