Phi Phi Shopping

A few years ago it seemed that all you could buy on Phi Phi was food, beer and hippy jewelry but in the recent past shopping opportunities have blossomed and grown on the island.

Clothes stores often double as impromptu minimarts while minimarts sell clothes and at the same time book stores masquerade as bars and coffee shops while coffee shops are the place to find good books.

It's all a tad confusing for those accustomed to more organised city life but residents and visitors alike adapt and enjoy themselves in the hotch-potch that is shopping on Phi Phi. There is even a blown glass outlet and a leather goods merchant. oh, and should you feel the need, you can get a tattoo here, too.
