The Only Bar Bar Phi Phi

4.3(151 reviews)$$$$

Tucked into the heart of Phi Phi Island's social scene, this bar brings together travellers and locals alike for drinks that stretch well into the night. Operating essentially around the clock, it caters to the island's famously relaxed pace — whether visitors are stopping in for a late afternoon beer or carrying on long after sunset. Its consistently strong ratings across more than 150 reviews suggest it delivers reliably on atmosphere and value. Guests can expect a casual, unpretentious vibe that fits the island's backpacker-meets-beach-resort character. Priced at a mid-range level, it sits comfortably between the cheapest beach shacks and the pricier resort bars, making it accessible without feeling like a compromise. The setting on Soi Chao Koh Moo 7 puts it within reach of Phi Phi's main strip, convenient for those already exploring the area on foot. Good to know: with round-the-clock opening hours on Sundays (and likely similar hours throughout the week), timing a visit is rarely an issue. That said, Phi Phi's nightlife peaks in the evening when the beach crowd moves inland, so expect the bar to be at its most energetic after dark. No website is listed, so dropping in directly is the way to go — reservations are unlikely to be necessary.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Carry Your Passport or a Copy

Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.

Know the Closing Times

Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.

Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously

Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
