Thailand bepalen kokos- palmen het beeld. Veel gezinnen leven van het verbouwen van kokosnoten en de plantages zijn vaak tot diep in het achterland ge- legen. De vruchten worden verkocht als hele noten of verwerkt tot verschillende producten: van het gedroogde vruchtvlees en kokos- olie tot decoratieve drinkbekers. De gespleten noten worden in de zon te drogen gelegd, zoals op dit strand op Ko Phi Phi.

  • Southern Andaman Coast
    © Lonely Planet Publications SOUTHERN ANDAMAN COAST 325 Southern Andaman Coast Island hoppers, this is your dreamland. The south is the quieter half of the Andaman coast; even the tourist star of Ko Phi-Phi can’t rival the glam and crowds of Phuket. Instead, this region is the ideal choice for serious relaxation, outdoor fun and chummy nights at beachside bars. Just slowly putter from white-sand isle to white-sand isle. Social seekers will love the developed beauties such as Ko Phi-Phi and Ko Lanta where you can party into the wee hours and meet plenty of people on the beach, yet still find a peaceful strip of sand. And roads less travelled are just next door: head down through the lightly developed Trang islands to the even less visited Satun Province to find powder-white romantic beaches, outrageous snorkelling and plenty of spicy southern Thai culture. The entire region is made up of a spectacular undulating coastline pierced by sheer limestone formations, speckled with islands and cloaked in a carpet of verdant greenery. Besides the phenomenal diving and snorkelling, some of the best rock climbing in the world can be found in Krabi and Trang Provinces. All that limestone also means there are plenty of caves to explore; some house shrines while others require that you shimmy on your stomach to get through. You can also kayak to islands or through coastal mangroves. Much of this region shuts down in the April to November low season but even at that time you can still get to most places with determined effort.

It can be visited all year round from the most popular among the crowd to the most secluded beach of your choice. You may find the best jungle resorts hidden amidst nature in Thailand. Wake up to a morning view of a sea of clouds from your tent. Now, the choice is yours!

The best time to visit Koh Phi Phi is between the months of November and April when the weather is more temperate and the rains are less frequent. Koh Phi Phi also features a vibrant NIGHTLIFE, with Tonsai Beach containing dozens of beach bars and restaurants and lively Tonsai Village consisting of a maze of shops, bars, and restaurants.
