Curator’s statement

Koh Phi Phi is near and dear to my heart, it is a beautiful island escape that can be reached via ferry from Krabi or Phuket. There aren't any automobiles on the island and the only form of transportation is by boat. There are long-tail boat taxis readily available which I felt added to the tranquility and appeal of the island. The Phi Phi viewpoint hike in the main town of Ton Sai Village led to the most stunning view I've ever seen in my life and is an absolute must-see! Phi Phi has both a lively main town to visit if you are more into socializing and partying as well as incredible all-inclusive resorts where you would never have to leave to be able to fully unplug. It is the beach escape of a lifetime and a destination suitable for all types of travelers! The beaches here feel as if you are looking at a postcard, they are so beautiful its almost hard to believe they are real. Picture the most beautiful beach you've ever seen, that's Phi Phi, only better!
