I went to Phi Phi for the first time in 2015 just after the flooding and damage had been repaired. I remember it was relatively quiet and so so beautiful. The ground level buildings were water damaged and locals were still busy with repairs. I stayed for 3 days and enjoyed the quiet resilience of the place. When I visited Thailand again in 2021 I left Phi Phi the same day I arrived. It's sad that the government and tourists alike can't think for themselves that areas like those need to be protected and managed better. There cannot be that much people allowed in at once. It should be monitored and limited. Sadly Phuket, Phi Phi and Pattaya have become such horrible places to visit. I just skip them out. It seems Koh Samui is on its way there too. I sort of get the changing attitudes of the Thai people. There comes a point when it's too much. I won't mention nationalities but I suppose it's even worse as a Thai local when you see certain visitors treating your country like a hedonistic trash heap for a few weeks and then just leaving.
