Can I book a hotel directly on Koh Phi Phi Leh?

When is the best time of year to visit Koh Phi Phi Leh?

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to April, when the weather is sunny and the seas are calm. The monsoon season runs from May to October, which can bring heavy rain and rough waters that sometimes limit boat access to the island.

How do I get to Koh Phi Phi Leh from the nearest airport?

What should I pack for a day trip to Koh Phi Phi Leh?

Be sure to pack swimwear, biodegradable sunscreen to protect the coral reefs, a waterproof bag for your belongings, and plenty of drinking water. Since it is a natural reserve with limited facilities, bringing reef-safe sunscreen and a dry towel is highly recommended.
