Phi Phi Islands, Archipelago in Andaman Sea, Thailand
The six islands of Phi Phi form an archipelago with limestone cliffs, white sand beaches, and turquoise waters between Phuket and Malacca Strait.
Initially inhabited by Thai Malay fishermen in the late 1940s, the islands transformed from coconut plantations into a major tourism destination after 2000.
The resident population of Phi Phi Don comprises 80 percent Muslim inhabitants, with Buddhist workers forming a smaller demographic group.
Visitors reach the islands via ferries or speedboats from Phuket and Krabi, with journey times ranging between 45 minutes to two hours.
The Viking Cave on Phi Phi Leh houses an active bird nest harvesting industry, collecting edible swiftlet nests from the limestone walls.
