Reggae Bar.
         Phi Phi Nightlife surprises many with how much fun is had either at the beach, resort or out in the village. Everybody walks, everybody dresses for the beach in the evening and so the atmosphere is relaxed.

One institution not to be missed is the Phi Phi Reggae Bar which is a whole lot of fun and appeared as the back drop for another movie the irreverent "Dirty Sanchez" set in the Thai Boxing ring. The normal Traditional Thai Boxing show, the not so traditional invitation for customers to try their luck !! make this something worth checking out.

PP Charlies and the Tsunami.
         If you were here before the Tsunami, many would remember the longest serving resort on the island, PP Charlies. With 70 bungalows on the world class Loh Dalum beach, PP Charlies offered the Backpacker and traveler ideal. Inexpensive rooms, a great beach location, beach music, and a bar that has heard more stories than most of Phi Phi Bars would have in a lifetime. The Indian Tsunami shocked the world and cleared the beach front and with it PP Charlies see more.
