Phi Phi is a popular resort in Thailand on six islands. The largest island of the archipelago - Phi Phi Don consists of two giant monoliths. There are several modern hotels on it, and there are equipped beaches. The second largest island of Phi Phi Ley has a rocky terrain. The rest of the islands are very small in size, but there are excellent beaches, surrounded by beautiful coral reefs.
Rest on Phi Phi
The marine tropical type of climate determines the division of the calendar year into a period comfortable for recreation and the rainy season. The most favorable weather for Phi Phi is observed from October to April, when the amount of precipitation is minimal, and the average daily temperature is +28 degrees. May-June are suitable for those who are well tolerated by the tropical heat. The rainy season falls on July-August. But even at this time on the islands you can have a good rest, because the showers are periodically and very short-lived.
