PHI ISLANDS |
|
Pristine
beaches, as yet unspoiled by the ravages of
haphazard development are Krabi's main
attractions. They continue to offer immense
snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities. The mjost spectacular is Hat Noppharat Thara-Ko Phi
Phi National Park, better known as Phi-Phi
Island, due west and south of Phuket
Town.
In
the park are two islands of outstanding yet
contrasting beauty. These islands have become
the symbol of the perfect tropical island. There
are also extensive mainland beaches and over 80
lesser islands. The boat ride to Phi Phi Lea and
Phi Phi Don from Krabi Town's Chao Fah Bridge
Pier is a pleasant journey. The perfect season
for these enjoyable rides is during November to
April. The trip can take between an hour and a
quarter to three hours depending on the size of
the boat. During the rest of the year, the
Andaman Sea can be choppy and the weather can
cause havoc with travel plans while at sea.
