It is positioned as the highest accessible point among the three numbered viewpoints on Koh Phi Phi Don.
The viewpoint is situated on private land, which often necessitates a small entrance fee collected by the property owners.
The vantage point looks directly across the narrow 'waist' of the island, where the two main bays are separated by only a few hundred meters of land.
The trail leading to the viewpoint passes through local hillside settlements, providing a glimpse into the non-tourist residential architecture of the island.
Phi Phi Viewpoint 3 serves as a secondary elevated observatory on Koh Phi Phi Don, situated further inland and higher than the more commonly visited Viewpoints 1 and 2. The site features an open-air platform designed to provide a panoramic vista of the island's narrow isthmus, Ton Sai Bay, and Loh Dalum Bay. Unlike the lower viewpoints, this location offers a more secluded vantage point with fewer crowds and a clearer field of vision toward the northern side of the island. Access involves navigating a steep, paved pathway that traverses the residential and resort areas of the hillside. The terrain is rugged and requires moderate physical exertion to reach the summit. Vegetation surrounds the perimeter, framing the view of the limestone cliffs and turquoise waters below.
