Aroi Cafe & Tropical Bar

4.8(236 reviews)$$$$

Aroi Cafe & Tropical Bar sits on Koh Phi Phi, one of Thailand's most iconic island destinations, and draws a strong following for its relaxed tropical atmosphere and consistent all-day offering. Open seven days a week, it bridges the gap between a casual daytime cafe and an evening bar, making it a flexible stop whether visitors are fuelling up before a day of snorkelling or winding down after exploring the island. The cafe and bar format means guests can expect a varied menu suited to different times of day, with the tropical bar element coming into its own as the afternoon shifts into evening. The mid-range pricing keeps it accessible without skimping on quality, and the consistently high visitor satisfaction reflects a place that delivers reliably on both food and atmosphere. Its island setting lends a naturally unhurried vibe that fits well with the pace of Phi Phi life. For practical planning, Aroi opens at 8am and closes at 10pm daily, so it covers everything from breakfast through to after-dinner drinks. Visitors staying on Koh Phi Phi will find it convenient for multiple visits across a stay. Checking the website at bestofphiphi.com/aroi before visiting is worthwhile for any updates on the menu or special offerings, particularly during peak season when the island gets busy and popular spots can fill up quickly.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
