There are some further cheap bungalow resorts around the outskirts of the Phi Phi Don village that make good variation.

This Phi Phi Island cheap accommodation zone is also the place for a great variety of cafes, restaurants and beach bars. When you add in the opportunity to eat the local curries and food around the main fresh market you have the perfect experience.

Phi Phi Island cheap accommodation

You can get great deals if you just arrive at the ferry pier and 'Walk in' but all to often the best value guesthouses, hostels and dormitories get taken or are booked up before you arrive. If you want to get cheap accommodation like this, make sure to take the morning ferries from Phuket or Krabi as the availability issues are compounded when travellers arrive in the afternoon. When you arrive be prepared to be shown around for a while, while you get the place that works for you. Often the cheapest accommodations is the dormitory style The Rock Backpacker but this doesn't suite all and there are only 20 beds so it is difficult to get into. Also note; the small family run guesthouses increase prices when the island is full so be prepared.

Some of the best and cheap accommodation to be booked can be found at the following places. PP Casita has a pool and is great value for money and is definitely cheap accommodation, just 50 meters from Loh Dalum Beach. Prices here can be cheaper than walk-in prices when the island is full but the quality is night and day better. This also goes for the following choices; Tropical Garden Bungalows, The White, or the fan rooms at the beachfront Andaman Beach Resort.
