✍️ Editor’s Note

“When going on a Phi Phi tour, be sure to bring a high-quality waterproof phone case. When you capture that surreal turquoise color of Pileh Lagoon, your friends will think you used a filter! Also, sunbathing on the nets at the front of the boat is the most enjoyable moment of our tour.”


👻 Urban Legends: The Mystery of Viking Cave

Viking Cave on Phi Phi Ley island is famous not only for its bird nests but also for the mysterious drawings on its walls. According to legend, sailors who were caught in a great storm centuries ago took refuge in this cave and ate bird nests to survive. It is believed that the drawings resembling long boats were made by these sailors. Today, local people still pray to the spirits for permission when collecting bird nests in the cave.
