The Property — Phi Phi Andaman Bungalows
Phi Phi Andaman Bungalows is a basic but clean bungalow compound set back from Ton Sai Bay’s main strip, trading sea views for a quiet, green courtyard dotted with palm trees. The lobby is a simple open-air reception with rattan furniture and a slow ceiling fan — no frills, but staff are friendly and you’ll be in the centre of things within a three-minute walk. It suits budget-conscious backpackers or couples who plan to spend most of their time on the beach or hiking and just need a decent room to sleep in.
Chronicles of Krabi
Krabi town itself was a quiet fishing village until the 1980s, when the discovery of limestone karst landscapes turned it into a low-key alternative to Phuket. The old town still has a strip of Sino-Portuguese shophouses along Thanon Khong Kha, built during the tin-mining boom of the early 20th century. Today, Krabi is the gateway to Railay and Phi Phi, but the town retains a local, unhurried feel, with a growing cafe and street-art scene that stays true to its small-town roots.
Best Time to Visit
Full Krabi guide →Best months
December to February – cooling north-east monsoon brings clear skies, calm seas and comfortable 28°C days, with tourist numbers high but manageable away from New Year.
Peak / festival surge
Peak runs from mid-December through mid-January, driven by European winter holidays; hotel prices on Phi Phi can double, and ferries fill up. The Full Moon Party in December also pulls crowds via Koh Phangan.
Budget shoulder season
March and April are hot but dry; you’ll find lower room rates and fewer people than peak, with sea conditions still good for snorkelling.
Weather & packing
July is in the south-west monsoon season, meaning short, heavy showers often in the afternoon but still plenty of sun between them. Pack a light rain jacket or a compact umbrella, and bring waterproof sandals — the paths around Tonsai can flood quickly.
Live City Briefing — Krabi
- The new waste-collection points on Phi Phi are being enforced more strictly; visitors must take plastic waste back to mainland hotels or use the designated bins near the pier.
- The Phi Phi island fee of 400 baht for foreigners (Thai 200 baht) is still in place and sometimes checked at the pier; have cash ready.
- Several speedboat operators now require online booking 24 hours ahead due to capacity limits — walk-up tickets are no longer guaranteed.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Phi Phi Andaman Bungalows, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a bungalow on the hillside side (away from the main pier path) for more privacy and less foot traffic. Upper-floor bungalows (if available) catch the breeze and reduce dampness.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid bungalows nearest the main walkway to the pier or the communal area; these suffer from early-morning foot traffic and bar noise until late. Ground-level rooms near the reception may have poor drainage and smell musty after rain.
Best views
The best view is from hillside bungalows that overlook the bay and the dramatic limestone karsts — ask for a 'sea view' or 'bay view' bungalow, not just a 'garden view' which may look onto neighbouring huts.
Quietest floors
This is a bungalow complex with no multi-floor building. The quietest bungalows are set back from the central path, typically in the upper part of the slope.
🔊 Noise notes
This hotel is on Phi Phi Don, right near the main pier where ferries and longtail boats arrive from 6am. Bars on the beachfront play music until late, especially during high season. There is also noise from speedboats and decking work during the day.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (before 2pm) to pick your bungalow on the spot — staff can show you two or three options. 2. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper; the frogs and insects on the hillside are loud at night, but that is part of the charm.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
