Tonsai West in Phi Phi

Tonsai West is the quieter and more contemplative sister of brash and bold Tonsai East and the village itself. If you pass the pier and keep walking past the hospital and towards the limestone hills, you’ll notice that things get a lot quieter and more peaceful in this section of the island.

Highlights of Tonsai West in Phi Phi

Several large resorts line the path, with onsite restaurants serving late-afternoon meals and drinks to travellers on day tours who arrive en masse in the morning. Tonsai West lacks in original stand-alone restaurants – only a few sandwich vendors and snack peddlers that offer fruit shakes and pancakes.

Towards the end of the beachside path, you'll come across Mama Beach Residence – a resort with a classy restaurant and bar, called Mama Resto, that's worth the walk.

Good to know about Tonsai West in Phi Phi

You can rent kayaks to explore along the island’s western promontory. Several intrepid visitors have even paddled out to Phi Phi Leh. The area is also great for snorkelling as it's a lot less busy than Loh Dalum.

There isn't much nightlife in Tonsai West, unless you count sitting on the beach counting the stars and listening to the distant music coming across the bay from Tonsai East.
