 Phi Phi Islands
Koh Phi Phi consists of two islands situated about 40km from Krabi; Phi Phi Leh and Phi Phi Don. Both are part of Hat Noppharat Thara Mo Koh Phi Phi National Marine Park.

Only parts of Phi Phi Don are actually under the administration of the National Parks Division of the Royal Thai Forestry Department. Phi Phi Leh and the western cliffs of Phi Phi Don are left to the bird's nest collectors and parts of Phi Phi Don where the Chao Naam people (sea gypsy) live, are also not included in the park.
