Ko Phi Phi Don is now squarely on the tourist map, and tourists from all over the world (especially Europe, Japan, and the wealthier Southeast Asian countries) flock to the island.

Ko Phi Phi (pronounced ko-pee-pee) is actually two islands: Dramatically beautiful Phi Phi Don, with its long, soft-sand beaches and limestone cliffs rising from the sea, has grown into a resort offering both simple bungalows and larger hotels.
Phi Phi Le, no less beautiful and only a short boat ride from its larger sister island, has no accommodations at all.
The local Ko Phi Phi sites have little in the way of general travel information; this site from Thailand's tourist authority is certainly not comprehensive, but it's helpful for planning a trip to Thailand and provides background on regions throughout the country.

Phi Phi has been rebuilding since day one, and the affected area has been open (albeit with limited operations) since February.
For over 15 years, the narrow strip of land between Phi Phi's scenic bays was developed into a concentrated holiday paradise, a conflagration of guesthouses, bars, shops and restaurants all jammed into a tiny space of sand and spilling onto the picture-postcard shore.
