This is a great option if you have the time and don't want to be in one place for too long.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Gay Scene</h2><p>There are no gay venues on the islands, but the relaxed, chilled-out island vibe (particularly after the day trippers leave in the late afternoon) means there is simply no need for any, either.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Ton Sai Bay</h2><p><strong>Ton Sai Bay</strong> is the main tourist area on Phi Phi Don. The bay and stretch of land connects the north and south of the island, and you will find a great selection of bars, restaurants, hotels and the ferry pier.</p><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71069" src="https://static.travelgay.com/media/68179/phi-phi-islands.jpg" alt="Phi Phi Islands" width="100%" /></p><h2></h2><h2>Getting to Phi Phi Islands</h2><h3>Ferry from Phuket</h3><p>Fly to Phuket International Airport.
