In May, the air temperature on this island will reach more than 30 degrees Celsius.
Thailand has a paradise island that can only be reached on foot. There are also no roads or cars. We are talking about Phi Phi Don Island, which is known for its white sands, affordable drinks and beautiful views. This is reported by the Mirror.
Forecasters predict that the air temperature on this island in May will reach 33°C.
“The island’s beaches are second to none, and Long Beach is a favorite thanks to its white sand, crystal clear water and long stretch, which provides enough space for sunbathing or snorkeling from the shore,” the article says.
At the same time, on the north-eastern side of the island there is Laem Tong Beach, where you can enjoy the tranquility, many long-tailed boats, diving tours, water sports, food establishments, as well as soft sands ideal for sunbathing.
There is also an observation deck on the island, which offers incredible views, but it is not for the faint of heart.
“The trail is steep and rocky, but if you’re up for an adventure, the view from the top is worth every drop of sweat and potential knee scratches. Given that the island is small and can only be reached by boat after a flight to mainland Thailand, accommodation options are limited. Therefore, it is reasonable to book accommodation in advance, ” the Mirror advised.
Also off the coast of the Phi Phi Island Group is the world-famous Maya Bay.
“This secluded beach, surrounded by limestone cliffs, is a favorite spot for baby sharks that starred in Leonardo DiCaprio’s film The Beach,” the article concluded.
