Why go, and how to do it well

Café 8.98 sits on Phi Phi Island and has built a strong reputation among both visitors and returning travelers, drawing consistent praise across a wide range of reviews. Open every day of the week, it serves as a reliable dining option in a destination where quality and consistency can be hard to come by. The mid-range pricing makes it accessible without feeling like a compromise, and its long opening hours mean it works equally well for a leisurely breakfast, a midday break from the beach, or a relaxed evening meal.

The café atmosphere suits the laid-back pace of Phi Phi Island, and guests can expect a welcoming setting that caters to a mixed crowd of island explorers and those simply looking for a comfortable place to eat and drink throughout the day. Its broad appeal across different meal times suggests a varied menu with something to offer morning, noon, and night.

Practically speaking, the café is open from 7:00am to 10:00pm seven days a week, so there is no need to plan around restricted hours. As Phi Phi Island can get busy, particularly during peak season between November and April, arriving slightly outside of main meal rushes — mid-morning or mid-afternoon — may result in a more relaxed experience. No website is currently listed, so booking in advance is not possible, and walk-ins appear to be the standard approach.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

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.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
