Definitive nightlife overview
Besides it relatively small size, Phi Phi Island has a surprisingly diverse and exciting nightlife; from beach bars to Muay Thai boxing matches to ad-hoc parties on the beach or dining on Thai food, everything is available.
Restaurants
Eating out on Phi Phi Don Village has never been a problem due to the large number of independent and hotel restaurants. For fish there is the Mama Resto with it’s eclectic music and bistro atmosphere, for French/Thai there is Le Grand Blue near the pier and the Phi Phi Cabana Hotel restaurant and bar Jungle Bar for an atmosphere to die for.
Independants to remember are Fatties, superb northern European Big food, and HC Andersens for Scandinavian fair and steaks.
Bars and Clubs
The immortal Reggae Bar has enjoyed a lot more big parties than anyone can remember….and as with many of Phi Phi Island Bars plays a mixture of fun, happy dance music.
Tintin Bar has a more urbane appeal with alot focused music style. The dance nights can be big here as well.
Along the Bay near Phi Phi Andaman Beach Resort, Karma Bar has grabbed the attention of the laid back scene with calm music and mats on the beach.
Hotels and resorts at Laem Tong and Loh Bagao
Staying up at Holiday Inn Resort Phi Phi Island, Phi Phi Natural Resort is enjoyable and quiet. Without the same variety as the village there is a choice amongst the hotel facilities.
Staying at the Phi Phi Island Village Resort is less varied, but the remoteness and tranquility of the resort is it’s charm.
Beaches
The simple pleasures of life are away from the bars and the song and dance and can be found on the beach, on the balcony. A gently sea breeze, a glass of wine and the starry night... is paradise.
Water Taxis
Water taxis boats run all night even as far as Laem Tong in the north but after 12 pm the boatmen will charge higher prices.
