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).

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
