B
Irish Rover Bar & Grill
Travellers like this typical Irish pub specialising in draught Guinness and Kilkenny, along with brews like Singapore’s Tiger and Thailand’s high alcohol–content (but headache-inducing) Chang. Sports fans will appreciate the telly broadcasting English footy matches and South African cricket. The place also features live music, tropical cocktails and pool tables.

Aonang Krabi Muay Thai Stadium
If you get tired of the beach bars and video movies on the strip, this place has boisterous moo·ay tai (Thai boxing) bouts two days a week (check current schedules at any travel agent in town) from 8.45pm. A free sŏrng·tăa·ou runs along the strip at Ao Nang, collecting punters before the bouts.

Apache Bar
With a strange Native American theme (think the Village People) lit by fluorescent lights, this long-time favourite is definitely campy. It fills up early and blasts loud music to all hours (to the annoyance of people sleeping nearby). Look for a new instalment of Apache in Tonsai Village.

Carpe Diem
Sit on pillows in the upstairs lounge and watch the sun go down (locals say this is the best spot for sundowners). Carpe Diem rocks well into the night with fire shows, dance parties and live music on the beach. It’s very popular, and an easy spot for mingling if you’re travelling alone.

Carlitos
This fairy-light-lit beachside bar, which puts on impressive fire shows, attracts fa·ràng seeking beers and a chair in the sand. It gets rowdy and packs in major crowds on dance-party nights. We like how Carlitos does its bit for the environment by recycling.

Old West Bar
Bamboo and wood inside and out, this Wild West–themed bar booms music nightly and is one popular place for a tipple. There’s a lively scene most nights and the cocktail list is long enough to keep you sampling for a while.

Encore Café
Very popular with holidaying Thais, this live-music club is a fun and modern spot. It has pool tables and special themed evenings – from ladies’ night to speed pool. Travellers like the Tex-Mex pub food.

Reggae Bar
You haven't experienced Phi-Phi's nightlife until you've watched tourists beat the crap out of each other in this rowdy bar's Thai-boxing ring. Both contestants get a free bucket to ease the pain.

Carlito's Bar
A fairy-lit beachside bar that used to be famous for fire shows and dancing, Carlito's is beginning its new life serving a more chilled mix of clean-up volunteers and tourists.

One of several bars scattered around this beach, Gecko Bar keeps you out late then offers you yoga (in high season) on its front deck in the morning.

F
Stone Bar
Swig your Tiger beer in the rounded gazebo sitting under a massive climbing wall. The parties go late and buzz with ambient electronica beats.

G
Chillout Bar
Climbers like to chill here after a long day on the rocks. The place flies Rasta colours and serves cold beers as fast as you can drink them.

H
Skunk
Scratchy roots reggae is the name of the game as chilled-out locals twirl their dreads with their fingers.

Sunflower Bar
Poetically ramshackle, this driftwood gem is still the chillest bar in Phi-Phi. Destroyed in the tsunami, the owner rebuilt it with reclaimed wood. The long-tail booths are named for the four loved ones he lost in the flood.

Ya-ya Bar
The Ya-ya Bar has an awesome setting under a massive climbing wall. Bob Marley looms like a patron saint. Mojitos (160B) are poured liberally. There's also a Thai boxing ring with courses on demand offered at 500B per hour.

Slinky Bar
This was the beach dance floor of the moment when we visited. Expect the standard fire show, buckets of candy juice and throngs of folk mingling, flirting and flailing to throbbing bass on the sand.

Last Café
At the far southern end of Hat Ao Nang is this barefoot beach cafe, with cold beer and cool breezes. Come here for a welcome blast of Ao Nang natural.

Highland Rock Climbing
Part climbing school, part cafe, this place is cobbled from driftwood and dangling with orchids. The owner, Chaow, sources his beans from sustainable farms in Chiang Rai, and serves the best coffee on the peninsula.

Chillout Bar
Right on the beach and with several levels of decks, this is where the bigger name Thai and international bands play when they're in town. At other times, it's the ideal place to lounge with a beer.

Breakers
A sports bar as good for TV football as it is for people-watching and great food. The burgers (200B to 240B) and steaks are awesome and the buffalo-wings starter-plate sampler can feed a handful of pint-swillers.

Amy's Bar
Give Amy's points for its floral retro hippy design, which comes with flat screens streaming live football games, billiards and the ladies who love them. It's one of several pubs on this soi, which runs perpendicular to the cliff.
