BAMBOO ISLAND (KOH PHAI), NORTH OF PHI PHI

To escape the crowded beaches of Ton Sai Bay or Maya, rent a long tail at least 3 hours (1500 Baht, approximately 50 USD) in the direction of Bamboo Island. This tiny island is nothing like its big sisters. Here, no high rocky peak. Just a small beach of white sand that emerges from the turquoise waters. As it is remote and less famous than the beach of Maya Bay, there is still some space on its beautiful beaches. But as always in Phi Phi, and especially during the peak season from December to March, First-come, first-served !

To watch the sunrise at Bamboo Island, alone in the world, camping tents can be rented on the beach. A small bar serves drinks and snacks.

Bamboo Island has a "Evacuation Route" in case of imminent threat of tsumani. Refer to signs planted on the beach.
