The Phi Phi Islands are located in Thailand, between the large island of Phuket and the western Andaman Sea coast of the mainland. Phi Phi Don, the larger and principal of the two Phi Phi islands, is located at 7°44′00″N, 98°46′00″E. Both Phi Phi Don, and Phi Phi Leh, the smaller, are administratively part of Krabi province, most of which is on the mainland, and is located at 8°02′30″N, 98°48′39″E.
Ko Phi Phi Don ("ko" (Thai: เกาะ) meaning "island" in the Thai language) is the largest island of the group, and is the only island with permanent inhabitants, although the beaches of the second largest island, Ko Phi Phi Lee (or "Ko Phi Phi Leh"), are visited by many people as well. There are no accommodation facilities on this island, but it is just a short boat ride from Ko Phi Phi Don. The rest of the islands in the group, including Bida Nok, Bida Noi, and Bamboo Island, are not much more than large limestone rocks jutting out of the sea.
Phi Phi Don was initially populated by Muslim fishermen during the late 1940s, and later became a coconut plantation. The Thai population of Phi Phi Don remains more than 80% Muslim.
Ko Phi Phi Leh was the backdrop for the 2000 movie The Beach. Phi Phi Leh also houses the 'Viking Cave', from which there is a thriving bird's nest soup industry. There was criticism during filming of 'The Beach' that the permission granted to the film company to physically alter the environment inside Phi Phi Islands National Park was illegal.
Following the release of The Beach, tourism on Phi Phi Don increased dramatically, and with it the population of the island. Many buildings were constructed without planning permission.

Hello Franco

Another excellent shot of this place. The two boats on the foreround add a strong focal point to the image. The colour of the waer and the good light enhance the quality of the image. Good depth and centering of the image. Thanks Franco.

Roberto

Ciao Franco.
Quanta pace infonde questa immagine do terre lontane. La prospettiva grandangolare, unita alle sagome delle barche che definiscono due linee di fuga, dą una notevole profonditą all'immagine.
Buona giornata. Bobo.

Hi Franco,

marvelous shot! Shot of a paradise! Colours are wonderful, from sandy cyan to marvelous blue of the sky with dynamic clouds on horizon. The simmetry of boats most alike is perfect and it creates lovely contrast to this natural beauties. Simply wonderful.

Kind regards,
Jeri

Hi Franco,
this is a well made photo. Composition is excellent, with the symetry of the two boats. The horizon seems to tilt just slightly, but it is not a big deal.
Thanks for sharing
Michal

Hi Franco.

Well done here on capturing an impressive picture! I like you composition here with the two boats angled the same and another boat (in the distance) in the center of these. The colours here are also very good!

Well done!

Blair

Ciao Franco,adesso si ragiona,finalmente un mare coi colori che si merita,mi avevi messo qualche dubbio con le foto precedenti,ottima prospettiva e bei dettagli,Luciano

Stupendi colori. Le parti posteriore delle barche (per non dire poppe)in primo piano convergono verso quella in transito sullo sfondo a metą della loro distanza.

Roberto

Bellisisma composizione e colori , come sempre i tuoi, spettacolari - qui lo tsunami maledetto non ha rovinato i colori del fondale...
bravo

Dear Franco,
an interesting composition of symmetrical boats, distant lined clouds, blue mountain and horizon, and clear water.
and the color of the tropical sea is special. that may dessolve the hard mind in civilized life.
thank you,
Akihisa

Salve Franco
Una foto fantastica grazie anche al grandangolo hai creato una foto ammirevole e cosi simmetrica ma anche una forte sensazione delle linee grafiche in entrambi parti. Il mare, ıl cielo le barche esotiche ed il resto creano una foto infinitivamente ambiziosa. Complimenti ihsan

nice symmetry
nice colors
