7. Food, drink & enntertainment in Phi Phi / Jedzenie, picie i rozrywka na Phi Phi

Straight from the sea/ Prosto z morza

There are countless restaurants and street food vendors on the island. Vast majority of restaurants are run by Thais, but you can find few that are run by Swedish or English. You can imigine that  finding a western fare isn't that diffcult. The quality though is arguable. We  recommend Pum restaurant  (the owner is Thai woman) if you fancy taking up Thai cooking lessons. We really had a good fun.

But if you just want to  fill up your stomach then we recommened a visit to Anna's. Magda enjoyed the Thai food and I had a varied choice for myself. The resturant is run by Richard (who lived and grew up in Pinner). His restaurant is always full of different nationalities....well worth a visit if your in town !

6. Taxi, taxi....

The only way to get about here in Phi Phi is by Long Tail Boat. It's a boat with an engine (looks like a fiat engine welded on !) attached to a mount.
Taxi drivers will take you everywhere (beaches around the islands, caves, shark watch point) but you have to haggle/ bartar.


Taxi na Phi Phi to tzw. Long Tail Boats. Jest to drewniana łódka z silnikiem (co wygląda jak silnik fiata) z długą  sruba napędową. Taksówkarze zabiorą Cię wszędzie (na plażę wokół wyspy, do okolicznych  jaskiń i punktu obserwacyjnego rekinów), ale pamietaj żeby się targować.

5. Phi Phi transport & delivery service/ Transport oraz usługi dostawcze na Phi Phi

 As we have mentioned before, there's no roads and cars in Phi Phi. The island is simply too small for it. But there's a high demand for all sorts of materials, from basics like  food and water to start with, to building materials. Everything is  delivered by trolleys. Even the luggage.


During our stay over here, we couln't help but notice that Thai men are very strong and Thai people in general,  very resourceful and won't waste a thing (recycling is widely practiced).

4. Koh Phi Phi Don, Thailand

Koh Phi Phi Don is a small island with beautiful beaches that's very popular with party - goers. Majority of the tourists  are very young people who make the place very vibrant.
 The island  is inhabited by 3000 local  people, on  average 1000 tourists come and go every day. For a small island it can get busy, esecially at weekends.

When arriving in Phi Phi, there's a 20 Baht tax to pay - that's for maintenance and rubbish removal.
There's no cars in here, only small streets with no name. Your point of  reference on the  map are the hotels, restaurants, massage places, dive centres etc

 Koh Phi Phi Don, to mała wyspa posiadająca piękne plaże, która jest bardzo popularna pośród imprezowiczów. Większość turystów zatem to młodzi ludzie, którzy ' wysypują' się wieczorami na uliczki i plaże.
 Wyspę zamieszkuje 3 tyś miejscowych. Średnia liczba turystów przybywających i  opuszczających wyspę w ciągu dnia to 1000 osòb (długość wyspy to 6,5 km a  szerokość 3,5 km). Phi Phi bywa zatem bardzo ruchliwa, zwłaszcza w weekendy.

Po zejściu z pokładu statku, trzeba zapłacić podatek w wysokości 20 Baht - to na wywóz nieczystości.
 Nie ma tutaj dużych  ulic ani samochodów, tylko małe uliczki/chodniki bez nazw. Do orientacji w terenie na mapie służą sklepy, hotele, restauracje, saloniki masażu, centra nurkowania itd.
