<P> The Phi Phi Islands ( Thai : หมู่ เกาะ พี พี , RTGS : Mu Ko Phiphi , pronounced ( mùː kɔ̀ʔ phīː. phīː ) ) are an island group in Thailand , between the large island of Phuket and the west Strait of Malacca coast of the mainland . The islands are administratively part of Krabi province . Ko Phi Phi Don ( `` ko '' ( Thai : เกาะ ) meaning `` island '' in the Thai language ) is the largest island of the group , and is the most populated island of the group , although the beaches of the second largest island , Ko Phi Phi Lee ( or `` Ko Phi Phi Leh '' ) , are visited by many people as well . The rest of the islands in the group , including Bida Nok , Bida Noi , and Bamboo Island ( Ko Mai Phai ) , are not much more than large limestone rocks jutting out of the sea . The Islands are reachable by speedboats or Long - tail boats most often from Krabi Town or from various piers in Phuket Province . </P>
