ORIGINS OF THE NAME

Their seems to be half a dozen names for Phe Phe Ley, here is the right way to say it –

เกาะพีพีเล – Goh P P Lay

The word ‘Koh’ – เกาะ – Goh in the Thai language is the equivalent of the word ‘Island’ in English.     พีพี – PE PE doesn’t have a meaning they are just letters of the alphabet in Thai, the English equivalent is = PP.   เล – Lay – in Thai Language means Play, but in this case it root meaning is from the Thai word – ทะเล – Taa lay – meaning = sea

So… Koh Phi Phi Le = P P Lay Island.
