THINGS TO DO ON PHI PHI

PUB CRAWL Tin Tins and Carlitos Bar on Phi Phi Island are the closest thing to a party pub but again its pretty easy going.

VIEW POINT To see the classic view of Phi Phi Island follow the path behind Tonsai Village and ask for the View Point. The path is very good, and it will take between 25 and 55 minutes. At sunrise many people unable to make the hike up to view point in the morning go the beach in front of the Beach Club to watch the sun spill onto the cliffs at dawn

MASSAGE Check out the shops where staff have been trained at Wat Po (Center for Thai Massage in Bangkok). Massage can be dangerous, so please take care that the person attending you really does know what they are doing otherwise you could land up with more aches and pains than you started out with.

SNORKELING, SCUBA DIVING and FISHING TRIPS Phi Phi Islands have some of the more popular dive spots a short boat ride away or simply jump into the water with a pair of goggles on, paddle out a short way and below you, in the emerald waters you'll see a marine wonderland. On the other hand if you'd rather catch the fish, Phi Phi has a number of charter companies catering to this sport.

BOXING 3 times a week the Reggae Bar complex has live real Thai Boxing. These Bangkok professionals have a training camps on Phi Phi Island. Friday night the purse is real and so is the fight. They get some big national names in the high season. Fight night is big and so are the crowds

HAIR BRAIDING Very popular amongst the younger crowd. Good value.

SNOOKER The snooker hall next to Tintin's bar and Club has 6 full size tables, 80 Baht an hour.

COCK FIGHTING and FISH FIGHTING The local Muslims love to gamble and Cock Fighting and Fish Fighting can be seen every now and again.

FOOTBALL About 3 times a year Phi Phi hosts a football tournament, island style. About 15 teams fight it out over 10 days of serious competition.
