Hotels in Koh Phi Phi
We’re not really sure why someone would want to spend the night on Ko Phi Phi—especially when amazing accommodation and beaches are found nearby and daytrips are popular. There are no hotels on Ko Phi Phi Leh and camping is now outlawed which sends the masses to Ko Phi Phi Don. You must book early and expect to pay out the wazoo for even mediocre spots. Small island bars have a 2am cutoff but most of the time the partying lasts until sunup.
Those who do want to give it a go should manage expectations and book one of these recommended spots. Remember, The Beach is not the reality of visiting Ko Phi Phi. However, if you’d like to try and recreate the movie, consider booking a night on the Maya Bay Sleepaboard (www.mayabaytours.com). Camping is not allowed on Maya Bay anymore but this boat docks overnight just offshore. You’ll be in a sleeping bag under the stars where dreams come easy as the gentle waves rock you to sleep. The rate of 3,500B per person includes the sleeping bag, food, and national park fee. If you don’t want to hang out overnight, they have information about a sunset cruise on their website.

Zeavola
Many Thais long for a return to their rural village roots, a time when life was simple. That is what Zeavola, tucked away in the northeast corner of the island, is all about—a return to traditional Thai living (just ignore all the house music thumping in the distance). Sand walkways…$$$Around Town
