Ko Phi Phi – An Island Paradise? Or Not?

January 28, 2023October 28, 2016 by Steve M

I can’t work out what I think of Ko Phi Phi – it is undoubtedly beautiful but so busy and seems to have no real identity.

MEET STEVE

Steve in front of waterfall


Hi, I'm Steve, the founder of Backpacking for Beginners. I've experienced how amazing traveling around the world is and now I want to help you experience it too.

I left England in 2009 to travel the world. It was the first time I had been out of Europe, but I spent the best part of two years traveling the globe and have been traveling on and off since then. In fact, I even spent time working as a 'travel expert' (RIP STA Travel!).

Taking that first step was very nerve-wracking for me, but it was the best thing I ever did. Now I want to help you live the dream!
