Most tourists come to Phi Phi to have a nice place on the local white beaches. However, there is one output that most of them complete – View Point. If you want to expand this path, you can continue along the jungle path to the beach Runtee (Rantee).

Viewpoint view from the harbor

From the port on the island of Phi Phi Don you can see where the famous Viewpoint is located – it is at the tower of the mobile operator on the ridge of the eastern, lower part of the island.

Ton Sai Bay

If you want to take a bath before the hike, it is also possible in Ton Sai Bay north of the port. The longer from him the better ..

Loh Dalum Bay

Just cross the 150 meter wide neck and you are right in the second bay – Loh Dalum. The local beach is probably the busiest on the island and certainly the longest – it is over a kilometer long. Swimming is pleasant here.

Viewpoint 2

From Loh Dalum Beach, keep signs indicating the evacuation path in the event of a tsunami. It leads exactly in our direction. Or just ask the local Viewpoint, everyone will show you. There are a total of three viewpoints. From the first you can see only a little and interesting is the second from which is a beautiful view of the neck separating the two bays. Thanks to the greater depth, the southern one has a much darker color. When you go here in the morning there will be practically no one, then expect crowds. At Viewpoint No. 2, there is also a tactically built restaurant, where they definitely have no shortage of customers.

Panorama from Viewpoint number 3

The complete view of the west of Phi Phi Don Island is from Viewpoint number three located at the mobile operator's tower. The ascent on it is no longer so terrible, basically you go along the ridge. Only a fraction of people will come here compared to prospect number 2.

View of Phi Phi Lee

From the viewpoint you can see the neighboring island of Phi Phi Lee, which looks more like a rock castle

Relax on Runtee beach

From the vantage point, you can return the same way back or take the steep jungle trail to Runtee Beach. You will run 170 altitude meters and you will have to scramble back the same way if you do not use a boat taxi. The Runtee is absolutely fine. There is only one small resort.
