Phi Phi Islands
Phi Phi Islands are some of the most visited islands in Phuket, with Maya Bay, a white sandy beach surrounded by rocky cliffs, being the most popular spot. HOWEVER, ever since the aquatic ecosystem took a big toll, it has been closed indefinitely. You’ll still be able to gaze at the beach from afar, as well as take photos, swim, and snorkel. It’s mesmerizing even from a distance, and there’s plenty more to see on the tour. So, make sure to include Phi Phi Islands into your itineraries!
