Where to eat

Narrow streets and walkways on Koh Phi Phi Don traverse both the isthmus and follow along the two coastlines and are substantially punctuated by a range of restaurants, cafes and bakeries purveying a broad selection of European and Thai menus. Pizzerias, hamburger and steak joints, ice cream parlours and, as you would expect, seafood restaurants are all but a short stroll away from each other.

Dive facilities

The majority of Koh Phi Phi’s dive operators are located in the small, and only, town in Ton Sai Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don.

Diving plays a big part in tourism here and there are plenty of dive centres in order to cater for the demand. The standard of service is high with virtually all the major languages being spoken.

A number of the more established centres carry a good selection of equipment for sale and provide servicing too. There are two liveaboard boats operated from the island. The Koh Phi Phi dive sites are also visited as daily excursions by the operators located in Krabi, and on the islands of Koh Lanta and Phuket.

Dive Trips

Trips run twice daily, departing at around 08.00hrs and 14.00hrs: most offer light refreshments, fruit, lunch and Divemaster services. Not all operators include equipment in the price.

The larger dive boats carry fresh water tanks for rinsing photographic eguipment, but longtail boats do not. Snorkellers and non-divers are welcome to join any of the scheduled diving trips; masks and fins are available for hire.

If you want to organise your own snorkelling trip you can hire a longtail from Ao Ton Sai or Hat Yao for a reasonable charge.

Dive courses

Courses for the complete beginner are very popular here, as there is a good selection of shallow sites. Local instruction follows CMAS, PADI, NAUI and SSI diver training programms; prices are similar and are fully inclusive of all equipment and certification.
