Beach Party
Slinky’s, Freedom Bar, Moonlight Bar, Blanco’s
The undeniable party hub of Koh Phi Phi is the beach at Loh Dalum Bay. By day, it’s a perfect spot to kayak or just relax on the sand. But when night falls, it transforms into the island’s wildest party zone, complete with the biggest fire shows you’ll find anywhere.
There’s no cover charge to enjoy the fire show, but it’s good manners to buy at least a drink from the bar and leave a tip for the fire performers who put on an incredible display. Besides the fiery spectacle, the night is packed with fun games like skipping rope, limbo, musical chairs, and plenty of other silly — yet seriously entertaining — antics.
The atmosphere is all about whiskey buckets, free shots, neon paint, thumping music, and nonstop fun. With all the bars lined up side-by-side, it’s easy to hop between them, meet fellow party lovers, and dance barefoot in the sand until dawn.
Carlito’s Bar Phi Phi & Hippie’s Bar
If you’re looking for a more relaxed and family-friendly vibe, head over to the quieter side of the island in Tonsai Bay. Carlito’s Bar offers a cozy lounge area and a beachfront wooden platform where you can comfortably watch the fire show and even enjoy a little dance without the chaos of the main party scene.
Nearby, Hippie’s Bar is one of the island’s oldest beach bars, known for its laid-back atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to escape the wild energy of Slinky’s and other bars in Loh Dalum Bay. Here, you can kick back, soak in the chilled beach vibes, and enjoy a more peaceful evening by the sea.
Kong Siam: Live Music Bar
For those who love live music, Kong Siam is a cozy gem right in the heart of Koh Phi Phi. This small bar offers a great mix of cover songs spanning pop, rock, and classics from various decades. Whether you want to relax and enjoy the tunes, make a song request, or even take the stage yourself, Kong Siam has you covered. Since it’s an intimate space, it fills up quickly—so be sure to grab your seat early for a memorable night.
Reggae Bar Phi Phi
Reggae Bar is the island’s unique spot where you can catch authentic Muay Thai boxing matches right in Phi Phi. This is the only Thai boxing stadium and bar on the island, making it a must-visit for fight fans and curious travelers alike.
Entry is free as long as you purchase food or drinks. Most matches are exhibitions, but adventurous tourists can even sign up to fight for a chance to win a free whiskey bucket. Drinks here tend to be a bit pricier, which balances out the free entry and the lively atmosphere.
