Thank you for wonderful video! Love it so much! It is really interesting and motivating! Cannot wait when all of us start travel again! Thank you for helping to promote tourism! love it
Fantastic review and video! We have just been in Koh Phi Phi this week and the whole island is stunning. Fortunately, a greater reactivation is already seen and a greater arrival of tourists to the island is denoted too. We totally agree with your recommendation and it is advisable to stay and enjoy Phi Phi Island for several days, there are so many awesome things to do and such wonderfull places to visit!!! a big hug and many greetings from Chile!
I miss this place so much! Been there before the pandemic in dec 2019 for only 3 nights. It was packed with tourist but I loved every single minute being there! I can't wait to everything come back to normal so I can come back again! Loved Phuket as well! Thailand is in my heart!
Great video I have done day trips to Phi Phi from Phuket and Krabi at different times. And I stayed at Phi Phi for 3 nights on another Thai trip. Definitely my favourite Thai island along with Koh Lipe in the deep south
Thanks for sharing! So glad you also got to stay on the island for the 3 nights - that's perfect. It's also our favorite island in the south of Thailand 🙌
@@brothersman524 yeah we heard about it! Haven't been there before - will definitely add it to the list once we're back in the South again. Thanks much for the recommendation!
@@houmanrosie I went to Koh Lipe as a day trip from Langkawi in Malaysia where I was staying for 1 week in Jan 2017 and then in Feb 2018 I stayed in Ao Nang/Krabi for a few days, then to Koh Phi Phi for 3 nights as mentioned before, then from there to Koh Lanta for 1 night and then onto Koh Lipe (3 nights). Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe speedboat ride was bumpy and long stopping at Koh Kradan, Koh Muk and Koh Ngai along the way. Most people would recommend going to Pak Bara Pier in Satun Province from either Ao Nang/Krabi or Hat Yai but I think the easier route maybe from Langkawi in Malaysia on a ferry which takes 1.5 hours. Langkawi is a very beautiful island in Malaysia that I would also recommend for staying a few nights. These are my recommendations.
Hey bud. I’m in phi phi now came from Canada and it is so busy not what you showed here very quiet a year ago. Big changes in a year. Good for habitants and their business though.
The Phi Phi islands are gorgeous. Paradise. Indeed one of the most beautiful natural destinations on earth. And all yours to enjoy esp during this time when there are less crowds.
Spettacolo,bellissima è tornata come 20/30 anni fa,fanno entrare da dietro cosi davanti è uno spettacolo,era diventato un parcheggio per motoscafi😭,penso però che quando riaprirà tutto se non controlleranno tornerà un casinop,spero di no........
Would of been geat to have a price breakdown of everything as a guide for budgets as we arrive in Phuket on Jan 31st! And what hotel it was you stayed at? Other then that, great video :)
Hey Shannon! Thank you so much for your comment and suggestions. We've had a number of others mention similar to us in the recent videos and it's something that we are aiming to improve on for sure in the coming videos to provide more value :) We stayed at Phi Phi Bayview Resort and paid around $60 per night. It was a pleasant stay although when we were there, they were just starting back up and a lot of the amenities (such as the pool, breakfast, etc) were not open. There were several better accommodations available closer to the center which we would have picked over the accommodation that we booked. We've been in Thailand for almost 3 months now and if you come across any questions, feel free to drop us a DM on IG @livinglistjourney. We're always happy to help. Have an amazing time in Thailand!
I was there a year before the pandemic hit, I loved Phi Phi's natural beauty and party vibe. Sounds crazy but I'd miss that vibe if I was there now because I met so many energetic, diverse and beautiful people from all over the world. Here's to looking forward and not back, cheers from NYC!
Very beautiful VDO and thanks you for presenting our lovely country to around the world. Although we cannot visit there but your VDO is very beautiful and we feel that we visit there with you. Thanks again and if you have any trouble when you stay in Thailand, all Thai peoples will help you without any doubt. Our country is highly welcome all nationality visitors around the world, please visit us and you will never forget this warm feeling in the life.
I don’t remember frankly 😂 but I do remember asking a few different people for pricing and they were all about the same. I recommend asking a few people for the pricing and then going with one. We went on the afternoon trip and there were much less people as most go on the morning tour. Have an amazing time!
Hi Chris, Thailand/Bali or even Vietnam are tropical countries so it is nice all year around. But it won't be as fun during rainy season, which is around June to October for the most part.
Yeah I agree, but you could say the same about anywhere. I was lucky to be travelling before the internet when you disappeared in SE Asia with a backpack and maybe just a Lonely Planet but those days are long gone. GenZ are growing up in a different world - there are no secret places or undiscovered islands anymore. Having said that - I'm on a Thai Island atm that has been (rightfully) described as Koh Samui 30 years ago. No resorts, no 7-eleven, no beach parties, just a few bungalows, and deserted beaches. It's fabulous. But I don't want to advertise it because...if you vlog it, they will come.
Visited the islands recently and they are stunningly beautiful, but packed with tourists (was there only on a day trip, perhaps it is better in the evenings and early mornings).
I stayed for 3 nights 1 they warn about mosquito and monkeys 2 cats are responsible for maintaining poisonous snakes i have my personal experience 3 it's heaven on Earth
Both Rosie and myself did extensive solo traveling before. It’s the best thing you can do and as you travel around the world you see that people are generally very kind and helpful. But always do have your guards up too - as is the case anywhere really. My recommendations are to research places that you’re going, join facebook groups related to that location (eg Thailand Expat Group, etc), make connections with locals and have that in your contact list. This can even be your AirBnB host, etc. And most importantly, have fun! Solo travel is amazing as you’re going places based on what YOU like to do on your own terms. Have a blast. Anything we can help with or if you want to reach us, drop us a DM on Instagram @livinglistjourney
Hi Hany! Unfortunately we don't remember the exact restaurant name but it's near the center of Phi Phi Don (roughly around a 20 minute walk from the Pier, once you get towards the center of the town, you'll see the beach front restaurants. This is one of them).
I've been there before this whole covid shit man I stayed like 5 days there it was amazing and everyone it's offering a different excrusion even if you go to the same place
Great Vid, how many nights do you recommend staying there and can you recommend any places to stay that looked ok other than the place you stayed in please ?
I do agree that staying at PhiPhi Island is the best choice, rather than booking a tour from Phuket. I was there in July for 2 nights. I do miss it, the quiet place. Relax.
Hi Hritik! The best time is the dry season between November and early April . But the climate varies throughout the country too so it's possible to visit year around. But generally between Nov and Apr there's less rain and easier to do sightseeing.
It depends on what part of Thailand. If you want to enjoy the sea, avoid the monsoon season Oct-early Dec. Chiangmai, avoid “the smoke season” during late Feb-late March.
Ok so we were just there for 5 days because I'm running out of Thai Islands and we had a few days to kill before meeting a mate in Phuket on route to the last inhabited island I hadn't visited yet (along with several uninhabited ones), so we figured we may as well tick it off the list. Good points - the diving is fun and pretty good. Snorkeling with reef sharks off Shark Point was fun. The snorkeling is a bit average elsewhere but OK. We had our mountain bikes which made getting around easier. The bad - it's like Patong Lite. If you like Phuket especially Patong then you'll like Phi Phi, but if you don't (we hate Phuket) then you won't. The infrastructure (walking street etc) is terrible even by Thai standards. It's all so shabby. The beaches are average. Maya Bay is naff - it's a paddling pool for tourists. The general tourist vibe is pretty bad - lots of Russians and Bogan/Chav tourists. Overall it's probably the second worst island in Thailand (beaten only by the crappy one off Pattaya). This is just my opinion as a well traveled slightly older diver/hiker/cyclist. I'm glad you liked it, but I think you may revisit your opinion once you've been to a few other islands.
@@houmanrosie welcome. There are cats not dogs on the island because it's Muslim, as are most islands down South. I love the cats, but...they all have to cr@p somewhere and that somewhere is the beach 💩😬😅 Also if you are wondering why they are putting two big tanks under the walking street - they are sewerage tanks because Central (biggest property company in Thailand) have bought up a huge chunk of that central 'downtown' area and are going to redevelop it. So it's about to become even more Patong-like, for better or worse. If you are still there it's worth popping out to shark point to snorkel with the reef sharks. They are big and only in about 3m of water. Don't worry they are more scared of you than you are of them. Just float around between the 'island' and Phi Phi - you'll see them swimming past If you are staying in Thailand for a while then there are islands not *that* far away from you with WAY more beautiful beaches. I'll leave it up to you to find them, because...adventure is out there. Also, if you are here for a while, I highly recommend getting your PADI cert. You'll meet some great people and see some cool sh1t that most don't see 😁
@@stangoodvibes where you do recommend going? I’m staying in Patong for 10 days for my honeymoon. Any nice places to visit or nice things to do? Thanks.
@@lekshuuuuu Um I'm probably not the right person to ask Melki. I really don't like Phuket much and I definitely didn't like Phi Phi. And it depends what you like - I prefer Thailand how it was 30 years ago - largely tourist-free, no airports, no walking streets, no parties, no jetskis etc. I'm on one such island now. But if you fancy a bit of 'action' then there is a lot of different things to do on Phuket. I will say that the floating resorts of Khao Sok is a great experience. Even the cheapest bungalows on the water are OK. It's not *too* far from Phuket. And although I said I wouldn't mention it on here - Koh Lipe has arguably the most beautiful beaches in Thailand especially on the islands next to Lipe in the National Park. You can get a longtail cheap and have an insanely nice beach to yourself for as long you like. I recommend you stay on Sunrise Beach (stunning), although we stayed at Pooh Bar and Resort in the middle of the island because it's just so convenient for both beaches and restaurants etc and their deluxe rooms are great. Lipe is similar in geography to Phi Phi with better beaches, a better class of tourist (LOL) and way more laid back. We went for a few days and stayed for a month! Great diving and snorkeling. I was sad to leave, whereas after 5 days on Phi Phi I couldn't wait to get on the ferry back to the mainland.
@@stangoodvibes thank you for the information seems you have allot of experience with Thailand destinations. I looked up where you mentioned and it is beautiful although reading about it said it takes about 7 hours from Phuket so unfortunately will not be able to do it. I’m thinking of staying 5 days at Phuket and 5 days at phi phi island that’s probably the best I can do for now. Thank you for your help.
Top notch video; just added Phi Phi Island to my bucket list. I will be in Thailand next year end of September till the middle of October … what’s the best way to reach Phi Phi from Bangkok?
Thanks Kenneth! Happy to see that you liked the video. To get to Phi Phi, you can take a ferry or speedboat from either Phuket (around 2 hours) or Krabi (around 90 minutes). Both are also great places to stay for a few days and explore and you can fly down from Bangkok
Very, very nice video! I'm filming myself and i can see you did put a lot of work for this video! Thanks for sharing, i watched 2 times. We are heading there soon. Greetings :)
I don’t remember unfortunately but there are several people offering it on the island and the prices were all similar and fair. We will do a better job mentioning pricing in the coming videos :)
Our hotel was Ok (not the greatest Wifi so can't recommend it). But the WiFi at the Cafes in the main area of Phi Phi were extremely fast so I was usually working from there as we just stayed a couple of nights. I would recommend reaching out to the hotel(s) that you are interested in booking with and asking for their wifi speeds
Hi Hien! We actually didn't write it down (as we normally do). However, when booking I asked a few different places on the Island and they all gave me the same price and it was reasonable. Sorry to not give you better information but we'll be doing a better job at providing these kinds of info's for future videos :)
Thank you so much! We get that asked quite often but unfortunately we didn't write it down :( However, the price was reasonable and I remember asking a few different people and agencies and they all gave me the same price and it seemed fair. Sorry to not give you a better answer but we will be doing a better job of recording and mentioning these kinds of information on future videos. Thanks for watching! :)

\when are the best months to visit Thailand/Bali?
Hi Chris, Thailand/Bali or even Vietnam are tropical countries so it is nice all year around. But it won't be as fun during rainy season, which is around June to October for the most part.
This is a really insightful video. Nice job. You really captured the best of our home.
Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed it
What you've seen now at Phi Phi can't compare to 30 yrs ago. 😅
I believe it!
The sea was the same and beautiful as it is,
there were no buildings 30 years ago but there were more corals and urchins.
Yeah I agree, but you could say the same about anywhere. I was lucky to be travelling before the internet when you disappeared in SE Asia with a backpack and maybe just a Lonely Planet but those days are long gone.

Thanks for a nice video. I am Thai. Phi Phi island and Maya bay are one of my favorite places in Thailand!
i have been visited to phi phi. it's very beautiful island. best beach and ocean.
It was one of the most beautiful places that we’ve been to - the water color was unbelievable, right? ❤️
I’m going to phi phi land at 1am
have fun!
Visited the islands recently and they are stunningly beautiful, but packed with tourists (was there only on a day trip, perhaps it is better in the evenings and early mornings).
I stayed for 3 nights
1 they warn about mosquito and monkeys
2 cats are responsible for maintaining poisonous snakes i have my personal experience
3 it's heaven on Earth
Is it relatively safe on PHI PHI? Or do we have to be on guard? 😊
They’ve wasted it. I was there in 1997 . Now it’s all concrete😢
The big, chunky charlie's eating up the whole world!
Wow let's wear a mask in the beach...stopped viewing when i saw that.
how much for snorkeling and island trip?
what is the best month to visit?? i wanna enjoy the most sunny and bright day there
Nice short precise video. .. thank you for your good work!! Cheers
Thanks for the kind words ❤️
460 baht per person? costly!!!
Love all the abundance of clown fishes!!!!!!♥️⭐️
so many of them 😊
Thanks for your nice video of this island.I never went there but can feel the charm.

How long do you guys stayed in phi phi island?
thanks guys, will be on my way very soon! is there anything you would recommend for a lone first time traveller?
Both Rosie and myself did extensive solo traveling before. It’s the best thing you can do and as you travel around the world you see that people are generally very kind and helpful. But always do have your guards up too - as is the case anywhere really.

no more night party sad. one day will relive
When is the best time of year to go (weather wise)
November to April is typically the best time to visit Phi Phi
i didnt know phi phi exsisted, im going to look into this place
Ok so we were just there for 5 days because I'm running out of Thai Islands and we had a few days to kill before meeting a mate in Phuket on route to the last inhabited island I hadn't visited yet (along with several uninhabited ones), so we figured we may as well tick it off the list.

Super video ❤
Top notch video; just added Phi Phi Island to my bucket list. I will be in Thailand next year end of September till the middle of October … what’s the best way to reach Phi Phi from Bangkok?
Thanks Kenneth! Happy to see that you liked the video. To get to Phi Phi, you can take a ferry or speedboat from either Phuket (around 2 hours) or Krabi (around 90 minutes). Both are also great places to stay for a few days and explore and you can fly down from Bangkok
Amazing video , Love this!!!!
Thank you so much ❤️ so happy to see that you liked it
Love the place… I love to visit in future. In my bucket list.
You will love it :D we want to go back as well

Very, very nice video! I'm filming myself and i can see you did put a lot of work for this video! Thanks for sharing, i watched 2 times. We are heading there soon. Greetings :)
Glad you liked the video ❤️
Awesome 😀
wonderful
You two are a lovely couple. Keep making videos. I will watch.
Thank you so much ❤️
Excellent. looking forward to visit.
Have fun!
how much was the longboat ride around the islands?
I don’t remember unfortunately but there are several people offering it on the island and the prices were all similar and fair. We will do a better job mentioning pricing in the coming videos :)
wow
You both are so lovely and very nice vlog and honest and good recommendation.
Thank you so much 😊 glad you liked the video!
I have new subscribed to your channel. for Thailand 😉👍
Thank you so much - we are so happy to have a Thai friend here :D
what hotels are good to stay in with good wifi connection for work?
Our hotel was Ok (not the greatest Wifi so can't recommend it). But the WiFi at the Cafes in the main area of Phi Phi were extremely fast so I was usually working from there as we just stayed a couple of nights. I would recommend reaching out to the hotel(s) that you are interested in booking with and asking for their wifi speeds
Great Vlog.. ❤️ what camera you use?
Thank you so much ♥ For cameras we're mostly using the Sony A7Siii and Go Pro Hero9
Hi, how much did you pay for the snorkeling trip ?
Hi Hien! We actually didn't write it down (as we normally do). However, when booking I asked a few different places on the Island and they all gave me the same price and it was reasonable. Sorry to not give you better information but we'll be doing a better job at providing these kinds of info's for future videos :)
Would have been nice if u put the price for the boat trip and hotel but nice video and also what drone r using ?
Thanks for the feedback Bi - yeah we’re adding those infos to our recent videos and aiming to do a better job at those details. Using DJI Air 2S
Amazing content! Planning to visit Phi Phi on April. Could you let us know how much was the half day long tail boat trip cost?
Thank you so much! We get that asked quite often but unfortunately we didn't write it down :( However, the price was reasonable and I remember asking a few different people and agencies and they all gave me the same price and it seemed fair. Sorry to not give you a better answer but we will be doing a better job of recording and mentioning these kinds of information on future videos. Thanks for watching! :)
