Tips on Ko Phi Phi Don Warnings and Dangers - Stay Safe!

Known for Krabi and Phuket Island, eye-catching rock formations, lovely beaches and exciting nightlife, Ko Phi Phi Don is an enchanting island located in Thailand. Even though the island is a tourist's haven, you still need to know about a few hidden dangers.

Jellyfish have burning tentacles that can harm people. Numerous beaches in the area have poisonous jellyfish known as the Box Jellyfish. These creatures can sting you. Unfortunately, the beaches do not have warning signs.

When you are visiting one of the beaches, you may observe monkeys begging you for food. While the experience of being in close proximity to wild primates is exciting, bear in mind that monkeys are not always peaceful. Sometimes, these animals are brutally savage, especially the larger males. If you opt to feed the monkeys, pay  attention to your surroundings. Another observant monkey could decide to attack you.

In Ko Phi Phi Don, people will probably offer you a bucket to drink. The concoction consisting of different types of alcohols is extremely potent. If you want to avoid passing out, decline the opportunity to partake of the loaded bucket mixture.

If you visit Maya Bay, smoke your cigarettes in the designated smoking area and toss the butts in the proper trash can. If you ignore this regulation and decide to smoke at a different beach location, you may need to pay a 2,000 Thai Baht fine for each offense.
