Top 10 Stunning Photo Spots on Koh Phi Phi Don You Shouldn’t Miss
When you find yourself surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Phi Phi Islands — especially the famous Koh Phi Phi Don — it’s impossible to resist capturing those perfect shots. Whether you’re a professional photographer or just love sharing your travels on social media, this guide lists 10 must-visit photo spots on Koh Phi Phi Don that guarantee spectacular views and unforgettable memories.
Loh Dalum Beach
Start with the lively Loh Dalum Beach, one of the most popular Phi Phi Don attractions. This beach is ideal for daytime photos featuring soft white sand, emerald water, and distant limestone cliffs as a backdrop. For those who love beach fashion, every corner here is perfect for that dreamy bikini shot under the tropical sun.
Tonsai BayLocated just a short walk from most hotels on Phi Phi Don, Tonsai Bay is the island’s main harbor and a hub of activity. Capture the energy of the island with photos of colorful longtail boats, turquoise waters, and the vibrant local scene. This spot is perfect for travelers who love street-style travel photography with a tropical twist.
Loh Ba Kao Bay
If you prefer a peaceful atmosphere, Loh Ba Kao Bay offers a more secluded side of the island. With fewer tourists, you can freely compose your shots without crowds in the background. The palm trees, clear blue sky, and calm sea create a postcard-perfect scene that looks straight out of the Maldives.
Monkey Beach
While not directly on Phi Phi Don’s main strip, Monkey Beach is easily reachable by kayak from Loh Dalum. You’ll find limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and of course — playful monkeys adding charm (and mischief) to your photos. Just keep your valuables secure — the monkeys here can be cheeky models!
Phi Phi Viewpoint 1
One of the most famous Phi Phi Don viewpoints, this spot offers a panoramic view of the island’s hourglass shape. The first viewpoint is relatively easy to reach and gives you a wide shot of both Tonsai and Loh Dalum Bays, perfect during sunrise or sunset.
Laem Tong Beach
A hidden gem on the northern tip of the island, Laem Tong is peaceful and less crowded. Its fine white sand and crystal-clear water make it one of the best hidden photo spots on Phi Phi Don. Occasionally, longtail boats anchor here, creating a picturesque foreground for your photos.
Phi Phi Viewpoint 2
If you’re up for a challenge, continue your climb to Viewpoint 2. The higher elevation rewards you with a breathtaking panoramic view of Phi Phi Don. It’s a favorite among photographers for sunset shots — though you’ll need to arrive early to secure a good spot during high season.
Nui Beach
Nicknamed the “Secret Beach” of Phi Phi Don, Nui Beach is a hidden paradise perfect for sunset photography. The rocky foreground adds depth to your shots, and during late afternoon, the light creates a warm, golden tone that’s simply magical.
Phi Phi Viewpoint 3
If you’re wondering where to watch the most beautiful sunset on Koh Phi Phi Don, the answer is here — Viewpoint 3. From this top-level viewpoint, you can see the entire island and surrounding sea, glowing under the evening sun. The breeze is cool and relaxing — a perfect place to wait for that golden-hour masterpiece.
Loh Moo Dee Beach
End your photo adventure at Loh Moo Dee Beach, one of the quietest beaches on Koh Phi Phi Don. With powdery white sand and incredibly clear water, it’s perfect for in-water photos or relaxed beach portraits. Morning and late morning light work best here before the sun gets too strong.

Krabi walking street runs in the old-town quarter of Krabi town, on weekend evenings only — not every night. Visitors staying in Ao Nang who drive in without checking the day regularly find an empty street. The draw is freshly cooked food at local prices that Krabi people actually eat: grilled seafood, regional sweets, fresh-pressed juices, plus handicraft stalls from people in the area.
Railay EcoPoda Island is a small island in Krabi province, south of Ao Nang — roughly 20 to 30 minutes by longtail boat or about 15 minutes by speedboat. What stands out is the fine white sand and the water, which stays shallow on a long gentle slope.
Railay EcoPileh Lagoon sits on Phi Phi Leh in Krabi province — a bay almost completely ringed by tall limestone cliffs, with one narrow gap for boats to pass through. No swell reaches inside, so the water sits still, and the white sand floor below reflects the light back as emerald. Every trip to Phi Phi Leh stops here, because it is only minutes from Maya Bay.
Railay EcoKrabi Airport sits roughly 15 kilometres from Krabi town and 30 to 40 minutes by road from Ao Nang. To reach Ao Nang you can take the airport bus, a shared minivan, a taxi, or a private transfer booked in advance. Railay is a different matter: it is a peninsula no road reaches, so you take a vehicle to a pier and then a boat. The mistake people make most often is landing late and finding the last boats into Railay already finished for the day. This guide covers each transport option, journey times, rough costs, and how to handle a late arrival.
Railay EcoNopparat Thara Beach is in Krabi town district, immediately west of Ao Nang — five to ten minutes away on foot or by car. It runs for several kilometres, holds far fewer people than Ao Nang, and has the national park headquarters sitting right on the sand. The detail most visitors miss: at the lowest tides a sandbar emerges and you can walk out to the small island offshore without a boat. It also serves as a departure point for some island routes, so it works both as a place to rest and as a way out to sea. This guide covers how it differs from Ao Nang, how to get there, and when to go.
Railay EcoHong Island belongs to Krabi province and sits inside Than Bok Khorani National Park, north of Ao Nang — roughly 30 to 40 minutes by speedboat, or about an hour by longtail. What makes it different from the other Krabi islands is the lagoon in its middle: a pool of water almost entirely enclosed by tall limestone cliffs, with one narrow opening that small boats can slip through when the tide is high enough.
