Title
Phi Phi Hotel and Travel Guide.
Description
There have always been sea gypsies coming to Phi Phi Don for as long as records have been kept. These ancient people are at home with the sea and make temporary homes as the seasons change. In high season they often make a community on the west coast in Lodalum Bay out of drift wood. In the low season, they are on the east coast sheltering from the occasional westerly winds.
They row their small boats great distances in search of fish. Recently, poor fishing techniques have made them unpopular with conservationists. Government attempts to improve their lifestyle have been slow but progress is being made.
In 1945 there was nobody living on Phi Phi Don Island. By 1950 the first settlers from Koh Yai to the north of Phi Phi Island in the Phang Nga Bay had arrived. Subsequently people from Koh Lanta and Krabi province have given the village a "three-flavored" feel. The families who still own most of the land today are descended from these first settlers and visit their cousins in Koh Yai and Krabi often. The call to prayer heard in the village morning and evening comes from the Mosque. The high attendance in the Mosque is as much from community spirit as any extreme devotion to the faith.
