For a double room you will have to pay approximately 400 THB per day. Of course, you should not expect special amenities in such accommodation, but this is a great option for those who do not want to overpay for unnecessary "chips".
There are many bungalows on the island that offer their guests coziness and comfort. Most of the hotels are located in the Tonsai area, making it an ideal base for those who want to enjoy the island's active nightlife.
However, if you are looking for a more secluded and respectable place to stay, then you should pay attention to the remote beaches of Laem Thong and Lo Bahao. Here you can find elite hotels that guarantee first-class service and impeccable quality. True, the prices for such a vacation will be much higher than in other parts of the island (from about 5,000 to 9,000 baht).
If you prefer a budget accommodation option, then you should pay attention to the area of Tonsai Bay and Lo Dalam beaches. Here you can find quite democratic hotels, where the price per night in a double room does not exceed 2700 Baht. In addition, on Long Beach you can find budget accommodation options with prices from 1500 Baht per night.
All in all, Phi Phi Island has a variety of accommodation options to suit all budgets and tastes. From economical bungalows to luxurious luxury hotels, there is something for everyone. In addition, a beautiful view of the crystal clear sea and white sand add a special charm to this place.
