FAQ
Bamboo Island, also known as Koh Phai, offers pristine white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Visitors can relax on its untouched shores, enjoy sunbathing, and discover vibrant marine life just offshore. It's a tranquil escape, distinct from the more bustling islands, providing a serene natural environment perfect for relaxation.
Bamboo Island (Koh Phai) is geographically located north of the main Phi Phi Islands group, specifically north of Phi Phi Don. While it is considered part of the broader Phi Phi Archipelago, it's often highlighted as a distinct destination due to its unique characteristics and slightly more remote location. It serves as a popular and often included stop on day trips exploring the greater Phi Phi region.
Bamboo Island is largely uninhabited and does not offer any permanent accommodation options like hotels or resorts. As a protected area and part of a national park, it is primarily managed as a day-trip destination. Visitors typically arrive by speedboat for a few hours of swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing on its pristine beaches before returning to their main accommodations on larger islands or the mainland.
A day trip to the Phi Phi Islands from Khao Lak typically includes a range of exciting activities. You can look forward to snorkeling in the vibrant turquoise waters, swimming in scenic lagoons like Pileh Lagoon, and observing the iconic Viking Cave from the boat. The itinerary often provides opportunities to relax and stroll on stunning beaches, and you might even encounter playful monkeys at Monkey Bay.
During a typical day trip to the Phi Phi Islands, the overall duration for exploration can vary, but most tours allow sufficient time to experience the main attractions. While exact stop durations depend on the specific itinerary, tours are generally designed to provide a comprehensive overview, ensuring you have ample time for swimming, snorkeling, and sightseeing at key locations like Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon.
Maya Bay was temporarily closed to tourists for several years starting in 2018 to allow its marine ecosystem, particularly the corals and marine life, to recover from extensive tourism impact. It has since reopened with strict conservation measures in place. Visitors are now permitted to enter the bay, but swimming is prohibited, and boats must anchor in a designated area outside the main beach to minimize further ecological disturbance.
The typical way to reach Maya Bay from Khao Lak is by joining a speedboat tour. These tours usually depart from various Khao Lak piers. The journey across the Andaman Sea to the Phi Phi Islands area, which includes Maya Bay, takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Once near the Phi Phi group, a shorter boat transfer will bring you to the entrance of Maya Bay.
In addition to Maya Bay, a day trip to the Phi Phi Islands typically includes visits to several other iconic attractions. You can expect to see the mysterious Viking Cave, known for its ancient paintings. Guests also enjoy the stunning emerald waters of Pileh Lagoon, a beautiful enclosed cove perfect for swimming. Many tours also stop at Monkey Bay, where you might observe resident monkeys in their natural habitat from the boat.
