Koh Phi Phi Don: is lovely island that covers an area of
only 28 square kilometres.(8 kilometres in length and 3.5 at its broadest point) It is surrounded by limestone
mountains and high hills with jutting cliffs. The sea is 20
metres deep and the deepest point in the south of the island
is around 34 metres.
Koh Phi Phi Ley: Is 6.6 square kilometres in total area (3 kilometres in legth and 1 kilometre at its broadest point). Offers  superb scenic bays such as Ao Pi
Le, Ao Maya, and Ao Lo Sa Ma. In the northest of the island
is a large cave called Tham Viking. The cave was renamed "Tham Phaya Nak" or serpent cave by His Majesty King
Bhumibol Adulyadej because of a stone resembling the mythical creature, which His majesty saw when he paid a visit here in
1972. The cave is considered sacred to locals who come here
to callect sqallow nests. Inside the eastern and southern parts
of the cave are ancient colour paintings of elephans and various
types of boat, including an Arabian sailboat, a European sailboat,
a sampan, a Chinese junk, and a steamboat. It is beliveed the
paintings were the works of sea merchants or pirates because
the study of west-to-east ship routes indicates that this arrea
may have been a stoppover for boats seeking shelter from
stroms, transferring cargo or making repairs.
