Monkey Beach

Monkey Beach, locally known as Yong Kasem Bay, is a small, shallow cove inhabited by wild long-tailed macaques. Located near the entrance to Dalum Bay on the western side of Phi Phi Don, it's a popular snorkeling spot with a fascinating coral reef about 50 meters offshore. While you can feed and watch the monkeys, use caution — they can become aggressive when hungry and are known to snatch bags and cameras.

Feeding is possible but use extreme caution. Don't get too close, don't stare directly at them (a sign of aggression), and hold food loosely. Keep belongings hidden — monkeys are known to snatch bags, sunglasses, and cameras. They can bite and may carry diseases.
