About this experience

Festivals in Phi Phi Leh is a cultural celebration held on the uninhabited island of Phi Phi Leh, part of Koh Phi Phi in Krabi Province, Thailand. The event showcases local traditions, music, and dance against the island's limestone cliffs and turquoise lagoon. It is organised seasonally, typically during the high season months from November to April, and is accessible only by boat from Phi Phi Don.

What to expect

The festival runs for two consecutive evenings, starting at 5pm and concluding at 10pm, with a 30-minute fire-dancing performance at sunset.
Attendees watch a traditional Thai long-tail boat procession that circles Loh Samah Bay, carrying decorated offerings to the sea spirits.
A temporary stage is set on the main beach, featuring live performances of Nora dance and southern Thai folk music, with a 15-minute interval for audience participation.
A food market with 12 stalls offers local dishes such as massaman curry, grilled squid, and mango sticky rice, with prices ranging from 60 to 150 baht per item.
The event includes a guided 45-minute nature walk to the island's viewpoint, led by a park ranger, explaining the coral reef conservation efforts.
It suits adults and families with children aged 8 and above, as the beach area has no shade and requires walking on uneven sand.
