Welcome to
Koh Li Dee
The Twin IslandsAn area off the coast of Amphoe La-ngu, over one kilometer from Hua
Hin village, lies two islands known officially as "Ko Lidi", the islands in
the Petra Islands National Park. Lidi islands are a haven for visitors
who want privacy because the islands are small and uninhibited. The
only buildings found on the island belong to the staff of a private
company which has been granted a concession of the precious
swallows' nests. Although there are thousands of swallows inhabiting
the caves, their flocks cannot be seen easily because the caves where
they nestle are accessible only by diving along the narrow paths.
