Pileh is a lagoon on Ko Phi Phi Le, the smaller of the two main islands of the Phi Phi archipelago. The lagoon is surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs. There are no beaches here, but at places, the water is quite shallow.
I visited Pileh Lagoon on one of our visits to Phi Phi. We arrived there by two speedboats which stopped over for us to enjoy the scenery. I went for a swim, and had the chance to swim from one end of the lagoon to the other. The water was so clear that our speedboats appear like suspended over the water. It was an unforgettable experience.

We were fortunate that when we arrived, there were no other tourist boats. (4 November, 2005)
