Phi Phi Island Travel Guide
|
Loh Dalum beach is breathtakingly beautiful - almost completely protected from bad weather here is quite shallow and coastal waters heated by the sun to a temperature of a warm bath! Loh Dalum covered with silky soft white sand surrounded by turquoise waters, the sound of birds singing. Here all year round there are no high waves.
You can go a hundred meters from the shore and still be only waist-deep in water; Loh Dalum beach was created in order to bask in the sun. At low tide you will have to go even further.
From Tonsai bay and the eponymous village this beach separates the small isthmus to conquer which you can leisurely stroll for a few minutes.

On the top of the beach stretched some restaurants. Ciao Bella offers a grateful crowd of Italian dishes also with a beach bar where you can enjoy a cocktail and listen to music. The restaurant at Phi Phi Princess is coastal and prefers to serve through the cupboard large crowd of visitors.
As an alternative on the road between Tonsai and Loh Dalum there are plenty of cheap Thai restaurants. Here you will find some of the best dishes on Phi Phi isaland but it's better to experiment. In many institutions there is no menu, and if you don't know what to say, better to just smile and offer owners the opportunity to choose for you dish. These places can look a bit scruffy but the Thai people by nature are extremely clean people so you have nothing to worry about.

Loh Dalum Beach Activities |
Fortunately, the peace and quiet of the bay does not violate the roar of the jet-ski. Those who like to enjoy motorized water recreation can choose wakeboarding, ride on banana-boats, and parasailing which is especially popular because of the amazing views of the bay.
The calm sea in Loh Dalum bay is ideal for boat trips, kayaking, because there is so much more interesting. Good snorkeling can be found on both sides of the entrance to the bay. In addition to Monkey bay is a small sandy bay with a large coral reef but to get there by land is extremely problematic.
Monkeys living in the area can be very isolated so don't get too close. When you go kayaking, do not forget the sunscreen or wear a t-shirt and hat and be sure to stay tuned for sea level, because when the strong tides lift part of the way to shore will have to carry the kayak on yourself. |
