Where to go out in Phi Phi island?

Phi Phi island is famous for its lively party scene, amazing beach bars and awesome fire show. The island is the perfect combination of stunning beaches and crystal clear water during the day and fantastic nightlife during the night. There are many cool bars and places in the town to enjoy a couple of cold beers or cocktail and then, of course, the famous beach party, which takes place in Loh Dalum Bay.
So without further ado, here are the best bars, beach hangouts and rooftop bars in Koh Phi Phi.

BLANCO’S

The party central of Koh Phi Phi is without any doubt the beach in Loh Dalum Bay. During the day a nice spot for some kayaking and relaxing, but at night the biggest fire show madness on the island.

There is no entry fee to pay to enjoy the show, but it is polite to buy at least a beer in the bar and leave some tips for the fire boys. Apart from the fire show, you can enjoy fun games like skipping rope, limbo, musical chairs and other silly (but very amusing) shenanigans. The beach is all about whiskey buckets, free shots, fluorescent paint, loud music and a lot of fun. The bars are all next to each other so you can mingle with the crowd and dance your night away in the sand.

CARLITO’S BAR PHI PHI & HIPPIE’S BAR

For a more chilled and family friendly atmosphere, you can come to watch the fire show on the other side of the bay, in Tonsai Bay. Carlito’s Bar has a nice lounge area and beach front wooden platform to watch fire show and have a little dance.
 
Hippie’s Bar is one of the older beach bars, also in the quieter part of the island. If you want to avoid the craziness of Slinky’s and other beach bars in Loh Dalum Bay then Hippie’s bar is the right place for you. The bar has a more relaxed and chilled beach vibe.

Kong Siam: live music bar

Kong Siam is a small bar in the centre of Koh Phi Phi and place you can enjoy some good live music. The singer and band sing all kinds of covers from pop to rock from different decades. You can even make a song request or have a go at singing. As it is a very small bar it gets crowded easily so grab your seat early.

Reggae Bar Phi Phi

Reggae Bar is the only Thai boxing stadium and bar in Phi Phi island, where you can watch Muay Thai matches. The entry is free as long as you buy drink or food. The matches are mostly exhibitions but tourists can also sign up to fight and win free whiskey bucket. The drinks are more on an expensive side here, which is only fair, as the entry is free.

Dojo Bar

Dojo Bar is located in the Tonsai Bay part of the island and has been for years a favorite lounge and hang out for local expats. A perfect place to enjoy a cold beer, and watch sports matches.

Upstairs part of the bar has a pool table and it’s the diver’s favorite hangout on the island.

The Only Bar

The Only Bar is a great place if you looking for a relaxed atmosphere and sunset cocktails. The Only Bar is situated at the end of the Loh Dalum Bay and it is for sure one of the best spots in Koh Phi Phi to enjoy sunsets.

Rolling Stoned Bar

Tucked at the back of one of the Phi Phi’s alleyways is one of the oldest bars on the island, the Rolling Stoned bar. The bar is a chilled place for a couple of beers a game of pool and a good chat while listening to rock and indie music
