Phuket Island Hopping Guide to Phi Phi Islands and Egg Island

I've used the term "jelly sea" hundreds of thousands of times to describe seawater, and this time I finally saw the real jelly sea. After visiting here in 1923, Maugham wrote: "The blue of the Andaman Sea is enough to heal the soul." Really, how can the sea be so blue, and the beach so fine that it looks like a virtual world. After island hopping for a week, Phi Phi Islands is worth a visit. The Viking Cave on Phi Phi Leh Island has 200 million-year-old Jurassic limestone layers on its rock walls, and Maya Bay is where Leonardo DiCaprio's "The Beach" was filmed. Carefree, just embracing the sunshine and running towards the beach, jumping into the sparkling sea and chasing small fish when the speedboat docks, I was so happy at this moment! 🗺️ Phi Phi Islands One-Day Trip Nanny-Level Guide ⏰ 7:00 AM Hotel pick-up ⏰ 8:30 AM Arrive at the pier The guide will explain safety precautions, and then you'll take a speedboat directly to Phi Phi Islands (about 1 hour voyage, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Andaman Sea along the way) ⏰ 10:00 AM Maya Bay White sand beach + jelly sea. Due to ecological protection, currently only allowed to stay in designated areas for taking pictures, no swimming. ⏰ 11:30 AM Viking Cave Speedboat tour around the mysterious limestone cave, which is said to have been a pirate treasure hiding place. You can also see the precious bird's nest collection points in the cave. ⏰ 12:30 PM Snorkeling in Pileh Lagoon Jump into the glass sea! Coral reefs and tropical fish schools are close at hand. Even if you can't swim, you can float with a life jacket. ⏰ 1:30 PM Lunch at Tonsai Bay Enjoy a simple Thai meal at the island restaurant. Tom Yum soup and mango sticky rice are recommended to replenish your energy and continue playing. ⏰ 2:30 PM Monkey Beach Observe wild macaques up close! Be sure to keep your belongings safe, as the little monkeys will snatch snacks. 🐒 ⏰ 4:00 PM Return to Phuket Island, enjoy the sunset at sea, and end the perfect day trip. 💡 Tips ✓ Clothing suggestions: Bikini + sunscreen shirt + quick-drying pants, convenient for activities and sun protection; bring a set of clean clothes to change into on the return trip. ✓ Photography equipment: Waterproof mobile phone bag, GoPro (to record the underwater world), wide-angle lens for more stunning seascapes! ✓ Sunscreen! The ultraviolet rays are super strong. It is recommended to reapply SPF50+ sunscreen every 2 hours. Physical sunscreen (hat + long-sleeved swimsuit) is more reliable.

🌺 Postcard-Perfect: Phi Phi Islands Like You’ve Never Seen Them 🏝️ 📍 Location: Phi Phi Islands, Thailand 📸 Captured by: @Andres.jaimeac Towering limestone cliffs, emerald waters, and powdery beaches — Phi Phi is every bit as magical as the legends say. But beyond Maya Bay’s fame lies a quieter side: hidden coves, early-morning longtail boats, and jungle trails that lead to breathtaking viewpoints. I spent sunrise to sunset exploring the islands, and every frame was a dream. These photos barely do justice to the peace and natural drama of this place. 💡 Travel Tip: Catch the sunrise at Ao Nui Bay — it’s peaceful, surreal, and completely crowd-free. 🌟 Why Phi Phi deserves your bucket list: ✔️ World-famous Maya Bay re-opened to limited visitors ✔️ Incredible snorkeling with reef sharks and coral gardens ✔️ Cliffside viewpoints overlooking turquoise bays ✔️ Accessible only by boat — true island vibes #TripMoments #PhiPhiIslands #ThailandBeaches #IslandHopping #BeachEscape #TropicalParadise #TravelWithTrip #TripFeatured

#thailandtrip 🌴 “Phi Phi Islands: Where Turquoise Dreams Come True” 🌊 If you’re chasing the ultimate tropical escape, look no further than Phi Phi Islands in Thailand. This slice of paradise is all about limestone cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and unforgettable boat rides. I stayed on Koh Phi Phi Don, the only inhabited island, and explored the famous Maya Bay — even more breathtaking in real life. While you can’t swim there anymore, the view is pure magic, especially at sunrise. Next stop: Pileh Lagoon, an emerald-green cove surrounded by cliffs. We swam, relaxed, and just soaked in the peaceful silence. I booked a private longtail boat — the best way to explore at your own pace. Snorkeling at Monkey Beach was surreal — colorful fish, coral reefs, and even reef sharks! And don’t miss the hike to the Viewpoint — the panorama of the twin bays is totally worth the climb. Evenings in Tonsai Village are cozy and lively. No cars, just beach bars, fire shows, and Thai BBQ. The whole island vibe is relaxed and welcoming. ✨ Tips: • Visit November–April for clear skies. • Bring a dry bag & reef-safe sunscreen. • Book a sunrise tour to Maya Bay to avoid crowds. Phi Phi isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling you’ll want to relive again and again. 🌺 #PhiPhiIslands #MayaBay #PilehLagoon #IslandEscape #ThailandBeaches #TravelThailand #TropicalDream #LongtailBoat #BeachVibes #SnorkelingParadise#localguides #旅行酷体验 #trip #travel
