Trade-off

Northern resort headlands — Zeavola, Phi Phi Island Village, family-and-honeymoon territory.

The northern tip of Phi Phi Don is the quietest and most upscale end of the island — Laem Tong has Zeavola and SAii Phi Phi Island Village (the only proper 5-star resorts), and Laem Hin holds a small Moken sea-gypsy community. Reached by speedboat shuttle from Phuket or long-tail from Tonsai (300+ baht). Wholly separated from the Tonsai party scene.
