Attractions
Phi Phi IslandsLocated just 40 kilometers away from both Krabi and Phuket.
They, in fact, administratively are a part of Krabi province. Phi Phi
Islands have become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand.
In addition, the islands are famous as the location where the movie
"The Beach" featuring Leonardo Di Caprio was shot. The examples
of famous attractions are: Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Le, Maya Bay, Viking
Cave, etc.
Phrom Thep CapeThe Cape has tall cliffs on the south, and was formerly
called by local villagers "Leam Jao" (The Gods’ Cape).
From the cliffs running down to the boulders at the sea is a line of
palm trees. Emerald green currents swirl in the deep water and breakers
hurl themselves in vain against the rocky point : it is one of Phuket
’s most inspiring vistas. From Promthep Cape, which is the most
beautiful place to catch Phuket’s famous sunset, a road leads
northwest to Nai Harn Beach. |
