hotels and guesthouses in Laem Tong in Koh Phi Phi

Find accommodation in Koh Phi Phi

On Koh Phi Phi, the range of tourist accommodation is quite wide, ranging from backpacker dormitories to 5-star resorts like the SAii Phi Phi Island Village. The highest concentration of guesthouses and hotels on Koh Phi Phi is located in the village of Tonsai between Tonsai and Loh Dalum beaches. This is the corner of the island with the highest tourist density by far, but also the one where you'll find everything you need and more (there's even a Burger King). In this corner of the island, it's difficult to avoid noise at night, so bring earplugs or plan to party until late. Although if you sleep close to the start of the climb to the Koh Phi Phi viewpoints, you'll hear the party noise from far enough away that it won't disturb your sleep too much. Note that there are occasional thefts from Koh Phi Phi hotel rooms (often by other tourists), so take precautions.

Outside the village of Tonsai, there are a few hotels scattered around the other beaches, often accessible only by boat. This is, for me, the best way to enjoy Koh Phi Phi if you don't like big crowds.

During high season, from December to March-April, it's quite difficult to arrive on Koh Phi Phi without having booked a room in advance and hoping to find somewhere to stay without struggling. In low season, it's more feasible. In high season, prices skyrocket, even for a dorm bed.

Koh Phi Phi is one of the hardest places in Thailand to find really well-rated hotels. Probably because of the tourist numbers, hotels have less to do with maintenance, cleaning, and even reception, and because in the village, it's hard to have any noise at night, especially.
