There's not a picture on earth that could capture the beauty of these impossibly perfect islands cast adrift in the Andaman Sea. As you get closer, what started out as white dots on the horizon turn into beaches begging to be sprawled on. A swaying curtain of coconut palms completes the tropical idyll.

Andaman Sky Co., Ltd highly recommend Koh Phi Phi as a destination for sightseeing, fishing, diving, kayaking and climbing, but not as a place to stay. Read on for the reasons why.

Approaching the twin islands of Ko Phi-Phi Don (usually just referred to as Ko Phi-Phi) and Ko Phi-Phi Leh by boat, it's not hard to imagine you've discovered a tropical Shangri-la. These exuberant, green-hilled island are rimmed by breathtaking white beaches that roll into the pristine turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. Ko Phi-Phi Leh remains untouched by progress, edged by the signature limestone cliffs of this region and a ribbon of coral. However, quite a different scene greets you on its sister island. As one of Thailand's prime holidaying destinations, unchecked development has meant that Ko Phi-Phi Don will continue to buckle under the crippling weight of its popularity as tourists are drawn by the thousands to these islands, attracted by the dazzling, pristine beaches, excellent diving and snorkeling, and rugged forests ripe for exploration.

Ko Phi-Phi Don
Arguably one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand, Phi-Phi Don plays host to a surfeit of wildlife, defiantly shows off its rugged rocks and poses for photos with dreamy beaches. Once you get over the dazzling beauty of the place you can take your pick of activities: diving with leopard sharks, fishing, snorkeling and island hopping, or rock-climbing the island's peaks.

Ko Phi-Phi Leh
The rugged Phi-Phi Leh is the smaller of the two islands and is protected on all sides by soaring cliffs. Coral reefs crawling with marine life lie in wait under the crystal clear waters and are hugely popular with day tripping snorkelers. Two gorgeous lagoons await in the island's interior - Pilah on the eastern coast and Ao Maya, which was used as the setting for the filming of the film "The Beach", on the western coast.
