  Phi
Phi Islands, Krabi The name is derived from Malay, and
the original was Pulao Piah Pi, wherein pulao is the Malay word for
island, and pi, pornounced with only a half p sound, was very close
in pronunciation to the English word be; the ah was eventuslly dropped,
so the name was said something like Bi Bi. Later the p was prononced
with a stronger aspiration and the name become 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 42 square kilometers, They were incorporated
into the national park in 1983. |
