Let’s Breakfree on Phi Phi Island in Krabi Thailand
The cutest name for a private island, Phi Phi Island in Thailand is just the place you’ll want to shout out, “Let’s Breakfree!”
Life on a secluded, pristine tropical island is great. You get to look out to miles of sea and a gorgeous 800-meter long beach. For the best back-to-nature experience, my vote is the Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort.
Hollywood Movies Shot on Phi Phi Island
Hollywood fell in love with Thailand Island ages ago and there are over 10 movies shot here.
“The Beach” based on a novel by English author Alex Garland was shot on Phi Phi Island.
The story of a young backpacker’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) search for a legendary, idyllic, and isolated beach untouched by tourism has drawn many travelers to Thailand.
Phi Phi island when approached by boat, rise from the sea like a fortress-like a pirate movie filled with swashbuckling adventures.
The sheer cliffs that tower overhead is jaw-dropping. The sight of the beachfront against a jungle backdrop sets resets your internal clock.
When you step on the beach, you zone out. There is no schedule here. No hustle and bustle. No reason whatsoever to hurry.
