Mosquito Island in Phi Phi

Mosquito Island ('Koh Yung' in Thai) is the northeasternmost island in the Phi Phi archipelago. Lying some 2.5 km off Koh Phi Phi Don’s northern tip, its shape resembles a bent nail when viewed from above. The island spans around 1 km in length and just 150 metres in width.

As with 5 of the 6 islands that form the Phi Phi archipelago, Mosquito Island is uninhabited. The eastern side has 2 beaches that rarely see visitors. The island owes its name to the mosquitos that usually show up at dusk, making it rather uncomfortable for those looking to enjoy a romantic and candle-lit dinner on the beach.
