Shopping Definitive list for Phi Phi Island
Shopping,
Phi Phi Island is a small island with 4200 inhabitants, with 2 Seven Elevens and one village of any real size. The Phi Phi shops sell a complete kaleidoscope of basic needs, travelers stuff and a whole host essential Phi Phi Island gifts however most non souvenir type items will be cheaper on the mainland.
As you step off the pier at TonsaiBay you realize that best of Phi Phi has an urbane quality in spite of being surrounded by vast areas of natural beauty, an ideal place for shopping. This is because Phi Phi Don Village has an Asian Bazaar quality that makes a walk down the streets both fun and exciting. Although modernized to a degree many of the shops are small and individual and each trade is a one off, a unique exchange between local and tourist. Many love the way it all seems so simple on Phi Phi and is the reason why many people return here year after year to redeem that old fashion feeling once again.
