Editor’s Note

“While Maya Bay is the star of the show, my personal favorite is Bamboo Island. It offers a level of tranquility that is rare to find. Pro-tip: Keep your eyes peeled during the boat ride between islands—the limestone formations often look like mythical creatures frozen in stone!”

Urban Legends & Mysteries

The Legend of the Viking Cave: Locals believe the ancient paintings of ships inside the Phi Phi caves were drawn by pirates seeking shelter from a storm hundreds of years ago. Today, the cave is a “sacred” site for harvesting bird nests (for the famous bird’s nest soup). Many fishermen still make offerings to the spirits of the cave to ensure a safe voyage.
