The Phi Phi Islands are famous for their turquoise waters, but there is so much more to explore beyond Maya Bay.

While Tonsai and Loh Dalum beaches are the go-to spots for nightlife, the island’s true magic lies in its harder-to-reach gems like Nui Beach and Wang Long Bay.

After a week on Koh Phi Phi Don, I’ve mapped out the best spots for everything from serene seclusion to world-class snorkeling.

Read on for my honest guide to the island’s top beaches and how to reach them.

Koh Phi Phi is one of the most famous islands in Southern Thailand. See this Southern Thailand travel guide for a full overview of the region.

1. Ton Sai Beach

Ton Sai Beach is located near the busy Ton Sai Pier, you can easily walk there along a paved path.

The area is well-developed, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and public toilets nearby.
Being close to the main attractions, it’s one of the easiest beaches to access.
You’ll find soft, white sand here, and the water is calm and clean.
You can rent a chair, grab a drink from local vendors, or treat yourself to a massage.
You can enjoy picturesque views of blue water, limestone cliffs, and boats sailing in the distance.
This beach gets quieter at night, as parties take place on the opposite side of the island.

Though you might encounter jellyfish both on the beach and in the water. Keep safe and avoid swimming with the jellyfish.

Unfortunately with the number of boats around, the swimming area is limited to the designated spaces between them.

Best for: Convenience, arrivals, and easy dining.
Tip: Stick to the designated swimming zones to stay safe from the heavy long-tail boat traffic.
Access: 0-minute walk from the main pier.

2. Loh Dalum Beach

Loh Dalum Beach is situated on the backside of Tonsai Bay.

It’s a wide, sandy beach, not as busy with boats as Tonsai Beach.
This is famous for its curved shape and stunning views of cliffs covered with green jungle.
The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for a daytime visit, though finding a shady spot can be challenging.
The western side of the beach is more relaxed with coffee shops and beach bars.
The eastern side is the main party area on Koh Phi Phi Don, with clubs and bars open all night.

Due to its central location, accommodation near Loh Dalum Beach tends to be more expensive.

Best for: Sunset views and vibrant nightlife.
Tip: Visit during high tide; at low tide, the water retreats several hundred meters, making swimming difficult.
Access: 5-minute walk from Tonsai Village.

3. Laem Hin Beach

Just a short 15-minute walk from Ton Sai Pier, you’ll find the quieter Laem Hin Beach.

Laem Hin Beach isn’t always well-marked on maps – to reach it, head towards Hippie Bar, a popular spot located right by the beach.
At this restaurant, tables are set right next to the beach, offering an excellent location to enjoy the seaview, however prime spot to eat also means higher prices.
Beach is sandy and calm, much less crowded than the central beaches, although it’s also a common stop for day trips.
Nearby, you’ll find plenty of shops, restaurants, hotels, and even a local mosque.
And at night, Hippie Bar becomes even more lively with fire shows and live music.
Laem Hin Beach’s location is very convenient – far from the loud parties and crowds, yet still within a short walk of Koh Phi Phi’s main attractions.

Laem Hin Beach usually gets busier when large groups arrive at lunchtime.

Best for: A relaxed dinner with a view.
Tip: Head here at night for the fire shows at Hippie Bar—it’s much more chill than the clubs on Loh Dalum.
Access: 15-minute flat walk from Tonsai Pier.

4. Viking Beach

Viking Beach is about a 20 minute walk south from Ton Sai Pier.

Once you pass Hippie Bar, you’ll continue along the coast, walking via the scenic pathway near seaside bungalows.
Viking Beach offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere compared to the larger, busier beaches.
The breathtaking views of the bay with cliffs in the distance, make it an excellent spot for sunsets.
The beach rarely gets crowded with boats, so most of the time it remains peaceful.
You’ll also find a beach bar and some accommodation options nearby.

Best for: Quiet relaxation near the main village.
Tip: This is a great “halfway” break point if you are hiking from Tonsai to Long Beach.
Access: 20-minute coastal walk from Tonsai.

5. Long Beach (Haad Yao)

Long Beach is a popular destination located farther from Tonsai Village on the southwest side of Koh Phi Phi Don.

To reach Long Beach, you can hike along a stunning coastal trail, following the same path as if you were heading to Viking Beach.
The hike takes at least 40 minutes and includes some steeper parts, but it’s not very challenging.
Alternatively, you can take a parallel route through the jungle via the village road.
This path might be a bit easier, but it takes you directly to Long Beach, so you won’t have the opportunity to stop by Viking Beach along the way.
Soft, white sand makes Long Beach perfect for enjoying the sun.
You can also reach Long Beach by jumping on a taxi boat, it’s a short ride from Tonsai Pier, taking less than 10 minutes.
There are a few big beachfront resorts at Long Beach, as well as restaurants, bars, shops, and a diving center.

Long Beach is a snorkelling highlight, especially at Shark Point.

To avoid boat traffic and enjoy the best marine life visibility, get in the water by early morning.

Best for: The island’s best snorkeling (Shark Point).
Tip: Rent a mask and fins from a beachfront resort for about 100 THB (3.2 USD) to see the blacktip reef sharks just offshore.
Access: 40-minute hike or 10-minute taxi boat (100 THB).

6. Loh Moo Dee Beach

Loh Moo Dee Beach is situated opposite Long Beach.

You can reach it with a 15-minute walk from Long Beach or a 40-minute trek from Tonsai Pier.
This long, stunning, and secluded beach is less crowded with boats and people than Long Beach, making it a more peaceful spot.
The clear water is great for snorkelling.
Although Loh Moo Dee isn’t highly developed, you can still find a beach bar and rent a chair.
The water is beautifully blue, and you’ll enjoy a picturesque view of Bamboo Island.

Best for: Escaping the crowds and finding total peace.
Tip: There is very little natural shade here; bring an umbrella or a hat if you plan to stay for the afternoon.
Access: 15-minute walk from Long Beach.

7. Loh Ba Kao Bay

Loh Ba Kao Bay is located on the east side of Koh Phi Phi Don.

You can reach it by taking a taxi boat or by hiking through the jungle.
There are two main routes: one along the coast and another via a steep jungle path that passes by the Phi Phi Viewpoints.
This beach is one of the longest on Koh Phi Phi, but it’s not very popular with tourists due to its remote location and lack of nightlife.
Unfortunately, much of the bay is occupied by a resort, limiting access for visitors.
In the area, you’ll also find a small local village and a street with shops and restaurants.
Since there’s no ATM, be sure to bring cash.

You can explore a nearby river and mangrove forest by kayak, where you might spot huge monitor lizards.

Kayak rentals and a diving center are also available at the bay.

Best for: Kayaking through mangroves and luxury resort vibes.
Tip: Rent a kayak to explore the river at the back of the bay—it’s one of the few places to see monitor lizards in the wild.
Access: 1-hour jungle hike or taxi boat.

8. Loh Lana Bay

Loh Lana Bay is on the west coast of Koh Phi Phi Don, directly opposite Loh Ba Kao Bay and you can reach it from there with a 15-minute walk.

If you’re starting from Tonsai Pier, an hour-long hike following the same route as to Loh Ba Kao Bay.
Alternatively, you can take a boat and get there much faster.
Loh Lana Bay is smaller and more secluded than other beaches on the island.
However, the area has seen better days, with an abandoned resort and a significant amount of trash washed up from the sea.
The beach isn’t frequently cleaned and lacks tourist amenities.

Despite its lack of maintenance, Loh Lana Bay offers a peaceful spot for snorkeling or enjoying a quiet sunset.

Best for: Seclusion and watching the sunset in solitude.
Tip: Because it’s unmanaged, check the tide; it’s best visited at high tide when the water covers the rocky shore.
Access: 15-minute walk from Loh Ba Kao Bay.

9. Nui Beach

Nui Beach is close to Loh Lana Bay, with signs along the way pointing you in the right direction.

The hike can be challenging, with ropes to help you through some steep sections, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.
If hiking isn’t your thing, you can reach Nui Beach by renting a private long-tailed boat.
Since it’s not a popular spot, be ready to negotiate a good price or share the cost with others.
Another option is to rent a kayak at Loh Dalum Beach and paddle there, which takes about an hour.

Nui Beach is a scenic and secluded spot, known for its white sand, turquoise water, and limestone cliffs.

It’s perfect for a beach day filled with swimming and snorkeling.

This stunning location tends to get crowded with boats in the afternoon, so arrive early to fully enjoy the serene beauty.

Best for: Postcard-perfect photos and snorkeling in a cove.
Tip: Arrive before 11:00 AM. After that, the small bay fills up with large group tour boats.
Access: Private long-tail boat or steep jungle trail with ropes.

10. Laem Tong Beach

Laem Tong Beach is the northernmost beach on Koh Phi Phi Don, situated on the east coast.

If you choose to hike there, it will take at least 2 hours from Tonsai Village, plus an additional 30 minutes to reach the very tip of the island.
Since Laem Tong Beach is home to a few hotels, you can also catch a boat, which typically operates three times a day during the high season.
At Laem Tong Beach, you’ll find restaurants, beach bars, and a diving center.
The resorts here tend to be more expensive compared to those near Tonsai Village.

For a more authentic experience, consider visiting the Urak Lawoi tribe in the nearby village.

It’s worth taking a guided tour with them to learn about their traditional fishing methods and sea life.

Best for: Upscale atmosphere and visiting the local Urak Lawoi community.
Tip: This is the quietest part of the island; perfect for those who want to avoid the “party” reputation of Phi Phi.
Access: 2-hour hike or the ferry from the mainland (it stops here before Tonsai).

11. Pak Nam Bay

Reaching Pak Nam Bay requires a trek from Tonsai Village via the Phi Phi Viewpoints.

The trail continues deep into the jungle and includes several steep, challenging sections.
If you’re carrying food while hiking through the jungle, be cautious as monkeys may approach you in this area.
Another adventurous way to reach Pak Nam Bay is to rent a kayak at Loh Ba Kao Bay and paddle along the east coast.
You can also get there by taking a boat from Tonsai Pier, though it’s not a popular destination, so the ride might be a bit expensive (around 350 baht per person one way).
The area also has a few resorts with restaurants available for visitors.
If you want to try snorkeling, this a great spot, as a coral reef can be found just around 100 meters from the beach.
However, be cautious when swimming, as the shore is rocky, requiring you to navigate between large stones.

During the monsoon season, reaching the bay can be more difficult, as hiking conditions worsen and taxi boat availability can change.

Pak Nam Bay is also a popular stop for day trips, so it can get crowded at times.

Best for: Adventure seekers and quiet snorkeling.
Tip: The trail starts behind Viewpoint 3; be prepared for a steep descent and keep your food tucked away to avoid attracting monkeys on the path.
Access: 1-hour challenging jungle hike or a 350 THB taxi boat ride from Tonsai.

12. Ran Tee Beach

Ran Tee Beach is a remote spot on the east coast of Koh Phi Phi Don.

You can reach it by hiking through the Phi Phi Viewpoints, but it’s not an easy trek—the jungle is dense, and the path down to the coast is steep.
During the monsoon season, getting there can be dangerous due to potential landslides.
Fortunately, taxi boats are also available, departing regularly from Tonsai Pier.
A one-way ride costs around 200 baht, but be mindful of the schedule—if you miss the last boat, you’ll need to hike back.
Ran Tee Beach is small and secluded, with white sand mixed with large black rocks and plenty of trees providing shade for rest.
A coral reef just offshore offers excellent snorkelling opportunities.

While Ran Tee Beach doesn’t attract large crowds, you can find bungalows and resorts where you can enjoy a peaceful stay surrounded by nature.

If you decide to stay overnight, wake up early to witness a breathtaking sunrise.

Best for: Experiencing a “deserted island” feel with local bungalows.
Tip: Visit early in the morning to catch a stunning sunrise over the Andaman Sea—it is one of the best spots on the east coast for it.
Access: 45-minute trek via the viewpoints or a 200 THB (6.5 USD) taxi boat ride (one way).

13. Toh Koh Beach

South of Ran Tee Beach on the east coast of Koh Phi Phi Don, you’ll find Toh Koh Beach, an equally secluded and hard-to-reach spot.

To get there, similarly to Pak Nam Bay and Ran Tee Beach, you’ll need to hike through the Phi Phi viewpoints and deep jungle.
The hiking trail is not very popular, so be careful as it can be difficult to follow.
Safer option will be renting a kayak at Ba Kao Beach or looking for a boat either from Ba Kao Beach or Tonsai Pier.
Ran Tee Beach, though not long, is spacious and sandy.
You can snorkel in the clear water to explore the nearby coral reef, and enjoy swimming without the crowds or boats you’ll find at other beaches.

Toh Koh Beach is home to two resorts, that provide guest transportation directly from the pier if you book a stay with them.

But due to its remote location, you might have trouble with data coverage, so it might not be the best spot for remote work.

Best for: Total isolation and getting off the beaten path.
Tip: This is the hardest beach to reach by foot; the trail is often overgrown, so an offline map (like Maps.me) is absolutely essential.
Access: 1-hour+ difficult jungle trek or a private long-tail boat from Loh Ba Kao.

14. Monkey Beach (Yong Kasem Bay)

Monkey Beach is a popular stop during boat tours and day trips to Maya Bay, known for its population of wild monkeys.

You can only reach it by boat or kayak, and it’s best to arrive early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
Despite its popularity, Monkey Beach is my least favorite spot on Koh Phi Phi.

While the cliffs are stunning, the sight of tourists chasing after monkeys for photos just feels wrong.

I’d prefer to see the animals left in peace, with their habitat undisturbed by the visitors.

If you decide to visit, don’t bring food with you, and be cautious with your belongings—monkeys are known to snatch phones or glasses.

Best for: Seeing monkeys (from a distance).
Ethical Tip: Do not feed the monkeys or leave bags unattended; they can be aggressive and feeding them disrupts their natural diet.
Access: Kayak from Loh Dalum (20–30 mins) or boat.

15. Wang Long Bay

Wang Long Bay is located in the south of Koh Phi Phi Don, similar to Monkey Beach.

You can reach it on a snorkeling day trip, by renting a private boat, or by kayaking – about an hour of paddling.
This bay is a stunning spot, surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs.
The beach itself is small and accessible through a narrow passage between rocks.
Since bigger boats don’t reach the beach, most visitors focus on swimming and snorkeling in the deeper water.
This leaves the small beach peaceful, perfect for relaxing and parking your kayak.

You might encounter monkeys here, so be cautious with your belongings and food.

Best for: Stunning “hidden lagoon” scenery and rock formations.
Tip: The entrance is a very narrow opening in the cliffs; it is only accessible by boat at high tide.
Access: Private boat or kayak from Loh Dalum.

16. Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi Leh

Maya Bay is undoubtedly the most famous beach on Koh Phi Phi, located on the island of Phi Phi Leh.

It draws massive crowds of tourists every day during the high season in southern Thailand.
Made famous by the movie “The Beach” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Maya Bay is celebrated for its stunning beauty, with turquoise waters and magnificent limestone cliffs.
You can only reach Maya Bay by boat, either through an organized tour or by renting a private longtail boat.
However, I found the place too crowded to fully appreciate its natural beauty.

Swimming is not allowed due to ongoing coral reef restoration efforts.The only activities available are taking pictures and strolling along the beach.

Best for: Iconic sightseeing.
Important: No swimming allowed. You must walk on the wooden boardwalks to protect the environment.
Access: Boat only + 400 THB (13 USD) National Park fee.

17. Bamboo Island

Bamboo Island is located north of Koh Phi Phi Don and is accessible only by boat.

Most tours to Maya Bay also include a visit to Bamboo Island.
The island is famous for its stunning soft, white sand and perfectly blue water.
It’s an ideal spot for snorkeling, typically not too crowded, with plenty of trees offering shade.
On the island, you’ll find a public restroom and a beach bar.

An entry fee to the national park is required, but if you visit both Maya Bay and Bamboo Island on the same day, one ticket covers both locations.

Best for: “Maldives-style” white sand and pristine snorkeling.
Tip: There is almost no shade in the center of the island; stay near the trees on the edge to avoid sunburn.
Access: 45-minute boat ride from Tonsai + 400 THB (13 USD) National Park fee.

How to Choose Best Location to Stay on Koh Phi Phi Don

When choosing accommodation on Koh Phi Phi Don, consider the following factors to find the perfect spot for your stay:

Prices

Koh Phi Phi Don offers a wide range of accommodations, with Tonsai Village providing the most options across all price ranges.
The most expensive resorts are typically located next to the beach.

Crowds and Noise

The central part of the island, especially around Tonsai Pier, can be overwhelming due to constant crowds and non-stop parties.
If you prefer a quieter environment, it may be better to avoid staying in the center or near the hostels along Loh Dalum Beach.

Nightlife

If you enjoy nightlife, choose accommodation near beach clubs, restaurants, and bars.
Staying in Tonsai Village is ideal, as this part of the island is very walkable, with easy access to vibrant evening activities.

Seclusion

For a more tranquil experience, opt for a secluded spot close to nature. Koh Phi Phi Don has many remote resorts built next to the beach, perfect for a peaceful retreat.
Consider areas like Pak Nam Bay, Ran Tee Beach, Toh Koh Beach, or Laem Tong Beach.

Accessibility

While Tonsai Village is very walkable, Koh Phi Phi Don is quite vast. Some remote beaches are accessible only by boat or a long hike through the jungle.
Your hotel will likely assist with transportation from the Pier upon arrival, but visiting the central part of the island daily might be less convenient.

Internet

Secluded beaches may have less reliable internet.
If you plan to work on your laptop, double-check the Wi-Fi speed with your hotel.

Mosquitoes

Bungalows near the jungle, though rustic and serene, are more likely to have mosquitoes.
While accommodations in Tonsai Village typically have fewer mosquito issues, be prepared for bites on the beach and in the jungle.

Best Time to Visit Koh Phi Phi

To experience the island’s full potential, including its vibrant nightlife and popular activities, visit during the dry season.

It runs in southern Thailand from mid-October to May or June.

The high season brings bigger crowds, but you’ll also enjoy better accessibility and ideal weather conditions.

If you prefer a quieter visit, consider coming during the monsoon season.

However, keep in mind that Maya Bay might be closed for nature restoration, and sea conditions could complicate transportation.

Koh Phi Phi Location and Terrain

Koh Phi Phi is a group of islands located in the northern part of the Thai Andaman Sea, in the Strait of Malacca.

Koh Phi Phi is connected to several nearby islands by ferry and speedboat routes.

The only inhabited island of the whole group is Koh Phi Phi Don, with Ao Ton Sai Pier serving as a major transportation hub.
This place is known for its vibrant nightlife, numerous accommodation options and beautiful beaches.

Koh Phi Phi has mostly mountainous terrain with steep cliffs, making much of it uninhabitable.
