:: Mu Ko Phi Phi

This name is derived from Malay and the original was Pulau Pi ah Pi, where in pulau is the Malay word for island, and pi, pronounced with only a half p sound, was very close in pronunciation to the English word be; the ah was eventually dropped, so the name was said something like Bi Bi. Later the P was pronounced with a stronger aspiration and the name became the Pi Pi we know today (the h with which it is usually spelled is confusing and superfluous). The name refers to the mangroves found there. There are six islands in the group – Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Ley, Biddah Nok, Biddah Nai, Yung, and Pai. Their total area is about 35 square kilometres. They were incorporated into the national park in 1983.
