Bamboo Island (Koh Phai) is flat, small, and ringed by white sand — the opposite of the limestone towers around it.
The reef starts close to shore on the northern side and stays shallow, so it is easy snorkeling and a good place to end a Phi Phi day.
It falls inside the national park, so the park fee covers it.
