Tonsai Village Area Guides
Everything you need to know about Tonsai Village
Tonsai Village is the bustling heart of Phi Phi. Here, there are no cars or roads, only footpaths. It's located on the isthmus, for which Phi Phi is famous, with Tonsai Bay on the south side and Loh Dalum on the north.
Before 2.30pm, when the last ferry leaves, the streets are busy with daytrippers and people arriving/departing. After that the island is more relaxed and the difference is tangible.
In the evening the streets fill again with diners looking for a place to eat, additionally as most business is done at night, the tour shops, dive shops and every other kind of shop come to life. Later on some isolated nightlife areas heat up.
Phi Phi is a very bohemian place; after all, bicycle and longtail are the only modes of transport apart from by foot.
Where to Stay in Tonsai
Tonsai has bags of budget and midrange accommodation but not many top end places. Phi Phi Cabana is one of the best hotels in Phi Phi, it's right on the beach with excellent facilities including direct beach access to both Tonsai and Loh Dalum beaches. Phi Phi Casita is a smart modern resort a little back from the Loh Dalum Beach towards the east end.
