Ko Phi Phi Don เกาะพีพีดอน

Ko Phi Phi Don (5 November, 2005)


Ko Phi Phi Don เกาะพีพีดอน is the biggest island in the Mu Ko Phi Phi archipelago. It is the bigger of the two major islands. It covers an area of 28 square kilometres. Shaped like a butterfly, it is 8 km long and 3.5 km across at the widest point. Phi Phi Don is the only one permanently inhabited. At the northernmost is the cape of Laem Tong, which is where a sea gypsy village is located. The gypsies were said to have migrated here from Ko Lipe, in Tarutao, further south, near the Malaysian border.

Laem Hua Raket, Hat Yao and Hin Phae are all excellent diving spots. The only major settlement in Phi Phi, apart from the sea gypsy village at Laem Tong, is concentrated around Ao Ton Sai (Tonsai Bay), a lovely curving beach that forms an isthmus linking two hilly sections of Phi Phi Don. On the opposite side of Ao Ton Sai is another bay, Ao Lo Da Lam (Loh Dalam Bay).
