Andaman Legacy Seafood
A neat-looking restaurant part of Andaman Legacy Resort, also beachside, with those great views of Phi Phi Ley that are exclusive to Tonsai East. Legacy doesn’t break new ground but it is a decent place to eat breakfast lunch or dinner. Pretty cool sounds (think Jack Johnson, Tracey Chapman) and attractive lighting are two factors that distinguish it from the rest of the pack.
- Opening Hours: 08:00-23:00
- Location: Tonsai East, at Phi Phi Andaman Legacy Resort
- Remarks: Fire show at 23:00
- Cuisine: International and Thai

Bora Bora
Previously the wildly successful Hippies restaurant/bar, Bora Bora is doing a sterling job of keeping the flames of Party Politics on Tonsai East burning bright. For a start there is a free salad bar and free daily soup with your meal from 18:30 – 22:00 followed by promotion after promotion. The background music can get a little overpowering but that depends on your tastes and where you sit. This is more of an afterhours partying place than a restaurant but that’s not to say that you can’t enjoy a simple meal here, chatting with the friendly but slightly spacey staff. Bora Bora even offers free drinks later on if you produce a copy of their promotional flyer.
- Opening Hours: 08:00 – late
- Location: Central East Tonsai
- Type: Restaurant/bar international and Thai

Chukit Lovely
What’s in a name? Does Chukit make you want to, after eating there? Well, this 120-cover alfresco and covered hotel restaurant could do with a facelift and is pretty gloomy both inside and out. Not wishing to break the mould of the beachfront theme of international and Thai food served from morning to night, Chukit serves exactly the same fare as its neighbours, only in much more lugubrious circumstances. Your call.
- Opening Hours: 08:00-22:00
- Location: Tonsai East

Ciao Bella
Ciao Bella faces eastward on Lo Dalum Beach and out over the idyllic and picturesque bay, making it the ideal location for a sunrise breakfast, but there’s only one catch – it doesn’t open until 10:00. It’s a large Italian restaurant with equally distributed outside and inside seating, a typical (for Phi Phi) relaxed atmosphere and Read More...

Hippies Bar
Located near Phi Phi Villa Resort, Hippies Bar is the archetype Phi Phi Bar with its triangular cushions to relax on, party atmosphere, fire dancing and late-night reveling. Hippies doesn’t get going until about 21:00 but you can get a meal here at pretty much any time of day. Watch out for the half-moon parties here as they can get pretty wild and woolly with imported DJs, dancing on the sand and lots and lots of noise.
- Opening Hours: 09:00 – late
- Location: On the beach by Phi Phi Villa Resort

Phi Phi Princess

Rimlay
A big, 120-cover restaurant lining the beach and the Rimlay Resort, there are some interesting deals here such as a grilled half-chicken with veggies and priced-per-kilo seafood but don’t expect intimacy, chamber music or haute cuisine. Basic stuff at not unfriendly prices.

Tonsai Seafood - Phi Phi Island
Tonsai Bay is a bustling and colourful place at most times of day. But when the sun sinks into the Andaman Sea and the lights go up along the coastline there is a tangible sense of magic in the air.
Tonsai Seafood is right in the heart of all this fairylike seaside sorcery and, like a Read More...
