Artisan Markets in Phi Phi Leh is a daytime bazaar on the beachfront of Phi Phi Leh island, Koh Phi Phi. It operates from 10:00 to 16:00, featuring stalls of handcrafted shell jewellery, batik textiles, and carved coconut-shell ornaments. The market sits beside the limestone cliffs near Loh Samah Bay, with vendors working on-site so visitors can watch weaving and woodcarving techniques.
