Monkey Beach

Sand

Monkey Beach is located in the Ao Ling bay on the western side of Koh Phi Phi Don, a picturesque island in Thailand. Access to this captivating destination requires renting a long-tail boat or engaging in kayaking from Loh Dalum Bay.

The beach owes its name to the multitude of monkeys that reside in the adjacent vicinity. For optimal enjoyment, it is recommended to visit in the afternoon when the majority of day trippers have left and the monkeys come down to the beach to seek shelter from the sun. It is crucial to exercise caution around these wild creatures.
