Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Nestled within the Phi Phi island group lies Phak Nam Bay, a tranquil oasis away from the busier beaches of Phi Phi. The bay's calm, clear waters are perfect for snorkeling, and its relaxed atmosphere offers a welcome contrast to the nearby, more crowded beaches.

Visitors can expect a small, cozy atmosphere here instead of a large resort beach. The adjacent hotel restaurant offers a convenient place to relax and eat without having to walk far. This makes the bay an ideal stop for anyone who wants to combine swimming with a leisurely meal. Thanks to its sheltered location, the water in the bay is relatively clear, which is particularly appealing to those who want to explore the underwater world close to the shore.

It's located in the remote northeast of Phi Phi Don. Access is usually by longtail boat from the main pier in Tonsai. It's advisable to arrange a pick-up time in advance. Official opening times aren't listed, but daytime snorkeling visibility is naturally best. Those staying in the area should be aware that there's no dedicated website for planning. The most reliable way to arrange access is to inquire locally or through your accommodation.
