Bamboo Island (Koh Phai)
Koh Phai, known to nearly everyone as Bamboo Island, lies north-east of Phi Phi Don. It is low and flat, unlike the limestone towers around it, and fringed almost the whole way round with white sand and clear shallow water.
The reef starts close to the beach on the northern side, which makes it one of the better snorkelling stops in the Phi Phi group and a fixture on the day-trip circuit. There is no accommodation and no village - just the beach and the scrub behind it.
It sits in the national marine park, so a fee applies, and the park closes the island during the monsoon, generally from around mid-May to mid-October. Confirm it is open before booking a trip that includes it.
