That beach, Ko Phi Phi, is no longer a secret. Located in the south of Thailand, about 50 kilometers from Phuket, Ko Phi-Phi is actually a group of six small islands.Phi Phi Island is high on the list of things to do to when in Phuket. Most tourists want to see Maya Bay at least ones in their lifetime. Therefore it can at times be somewhat crowded when in middle of the day (10am-2pm) boatloads of day trippers from Phuket and Krabi arrive for snorkeling in the bay and relaxing on the famous beach.
