Phi Phi Reggae Bar is a longstanding nightlife venue in Tonsai Village, chugging along year after year with differing approaches to draw punters in. And when they come, this place is heaving with energy, loud music, and Muay Thai kickboxing matches.

The pub offers various prizes to entice people into the central ring and have a go, and most people are very willing to do so. There are also organized matches between locals – several fights are quite high stakes between known professionals who are brought in for the occasion.

Thai Boxing at Phi Phi Reggae Bar

Late evenings at Phi Phi Reggae Bar are noisy with the audience roaring encouragement to the fighters. It's all conducive to a pretty memorable night out. Still, getting into a boxing ring while drunk is in the same league as cliff diving in the dark, so aspiring boxers should attempt it while sober.

The bar also has large-screen TVs showing sports, a full cocktail menu, and the ubiquitous ‘buckets’ of energy beverages, ice and liquor.
