Drinking & Entertainment
A rowdy nightlife saturates Phi-Phi.
SUNFLOWER BAR
(Ao Lo Dalam)
Poetically ramshackle, this driftwood gem is still the chillest bar in

The long-tail booths are named for the four loved ones he lost in the flood.

(Tourist Village)
You haven't experienced Phi-Phi's nightlife until you've watched
tourists get in the Thai boxing ring at this rowdy bar. Both contestants get a free
bucket to ease the pain.

SLINKY BAR
(Ao Lo Dalam)

flirting and flailing to throbbing bass on the sand.
