Pi Leh Bay

Pi Leh Bay, also known as Pi Leh Lagoon or Pileh Cove, is a stunning natural inlet on the island of Koh Phi Phi Leh in Thailand's Krabi Province. It is famous for its breathtaking scenery, featuring towering limestone cliffs that surround a lagoon of crystal-clear, emerald-green water. The bay is often described as "paradise on earth" due to the dramatic contrast of the sheer, jungle-covered cliffs and the vibrant turquoise water. The unique lighting conditions, especially around midday, make the water appear to glow from within. The bay can get very crowded with tourists. To experience its tranquility, it is recommended to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon. The best time to photograph the outstanding beauty of the water, however, is typically between 11 am and 1 pm when the sun hits the water directly.

Pi Leh Bay is absolutely stunning — surrounded by dramatic limestone mountains and calm emerald water. The boat stopped here for guests to swim and snorkel. I didn’t go into the water, but simply sitting there and taking in the view felt so peaceful and refreshing. It can get busy in high season with many boats around, and it’s a bit noisy at times — but honestly, the beauty of this place still shines through. Truly worth seeing.

Pi Ley Bay is a beautiful spot nestled among mountains, boasting crystal-clear waters. The scenery is stunning, and boats will stop here so we can take a refreshing swim. There are no waves here, making swimming safe for everyone, even non-swimmers. Life jackets are available, and guides and staff are on hand to ensure a fun and memorable experience.
