This paradise island has been hit hard by the 2004 tsunami but quickly rebuilt with more brick bungalows that can resist better to such disasters. It is a very popular tourist destination and probably the most famous island in Thailand after Phuket. White sand beaches, turquoise waters, a landscape of cliffs and greenery, seabeds that amaze divers neophytes or not, it's a real postcard image. Accommodations prices have just vanished but they are still reasonable compared to other destinations in the world who are not as beautiful. Phi Phi Le island is uninhabited. Its splendor is worldwide known because it was the place where the Danny Boyle's film "The Beach" was shot.
