Description of the Island:

Bamboo Island and Moskito Island are located at the north of the Phi Phi island group.


Pileh BayBamboo Island:

This is a tiny island of only 500m crossway which is bounded by attractive white sandy beaches nearly all the way around which gives path to coral underwater. Stunning Bamboo Island is 5km from the northern tip of Phi Phi Don.

Even though there are more daytrips to go to Bamboo each day but it's not too crowded. Dive boats also go there too. The reefs are extensive and fairly shallow, but the beach is always there for a rest. Yet this is another excellent place to snorkel.

However as this is a part of the National Marine Park and building is illegal, accommodation is not available here.

Pileh BayMoskito Island:

This is not away from Bamboo Island but it is different in appearance. This island is extremely rocky with high limestone cliffs. It is surrounded by a shallow coral reef.

This island is next to Bamboo but only few people visit because there are no beaches. Best is snorkeling in east side however most important of the coral is a bit deeper in this island and so it's for a scuba diving spot than snorkeling.

Pileh BayTour Program of Bamboo Island and Moskito Island:
