Laem Tong Beach

Laem Tong Beach is a delightful place in northern Phi Phi Don for a relaxing quiet holiday. The only access to the main part of Phi Phi is by boat, this means you have almost total seclusion. The atmosphere is quite the opposite of Tonsai Village, as here you'll hardly leave your hotel.
The 4 resorts starting at the northern tip are Phi Phi Natural Resort, Zeavola Resort, PP Erawan Resort and the Phi Phi Holiday Inn Resort and are all on the beach on the eastern side of the peninsular. Right in front of the beach here, although too far to swim to, are Bamboo Island, Mosquito Island and Hin Klang, three of the best spots for snorkelling and diving in Phi Phi. In the distance you can see Railay Beach and Koh Lanta. The seafloor is a uniform depth for at least a hundred metres until the coral begins, shortly after that is the drop off, a large colourful reef that descends to the depths.
