Phi Phi Island The name is
derived from Malay and the original was Pulao Pi ah Pi,
where in pulao is the Malay word for island, and
pi, pronounced with only a half p sound, was very close
in pronunciation to the English word be; the ah was eventually
dropped, so the name was said something like Bi Bi. Later
the P was pronounced with a stronger aspiration and the
name became the Pi Pi we know today (the h with which it
is usually spelled is confusing and superfluous). The name
refers to the mangrove wood found there. Six islands are
in the group; Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Ley, Biddah Nok,
Biddah Nai, Yung, and Pai; total area is about 35 square
kilometers. They were incorporated into the national park
in 1983. Some of the interesting places to visit include.
