Drinking & Nightlife
A rowdy nightlife saturates Phi-Phi. Sticky-sweet cocktails and buckets of cheap whiskey
and Red Bull make this the domain for spring-break wannabes and really bad hangovers.
The truth is that if you're nesting within earshot of the partying, you may as well enjoy
the chaos.
Sunflower Bar
(Ao Lo Dalam)
Poetically ramshackle, this driftwood gem is still the chillest bar in Phi-Phi.
Destroyed in the tsunami, the owner rebuilt it with reclaimed wood. The long-tail booths
are named for the four loved ones he lost in the flood.
BAR
Slinky Bar
(Ao Lo Dalam)
This was the beach dance floor of the moment when we visited. Expect the
standard fire show, buckets of candy juice and throngs of people mingling, flirting and
flailing to throbbing bass on the sand.
NIGHTCLUB
Ibiza
(Ao Lo Dalam)
Another of Dalam's beach dens of inebriation and inequity (but, you know, in
a good way). Relax on beachside cushions, toke a shisha pipe and marvel at expert fire
