Bars on Koh Phi Phi
Nights on Koh Phi Phi start on the sand. Loh Dalum (13 bars) is the strip: Slinky, Ibiza House, Carlito's and Stones Bar line the beach with fire shows from around nine, buckets and music until the small hours. Here are 39 bars sorted by area, with opening hours where we know them (28 of 39).
Tonsai Village (9) has the smaller bars in the lanes, Reggae Bar with its Muay Thai ring, Irish pubs and cocktail bars. Tonsai Bay (8) has bars on the pier side with the boats in front. On Long Beach (1) and in the north (5 on Loh Bagao, 2 on Laem Tong) the evening is a drink at the resort bar and a very dark sky.
The hours are on every card. Below we answer where the fire shows are, which bars are right on the beach and where the night goes on. Food first? Here are the restaurants.
