Cheap food on Phi Phi Island

Cheap Hotel food on Phi Phi Don

Most hotels, resorts or guesthouses will offer an international menu at least at breakfast where eggs are ubiquitous form of early morning food. Where the menus get interesting is with the Thai lunches,  Chinese noodles and the full blown curries. Inexpensive or cheap food is a matter of the wallet but I would always go for the freshly caught fish as not only is it fresh that morning it will be way more than 70% cheaper than you'd pay or the western capitals. Noodles, noodle soup are good value and variations of fried rice can be sensational. More here on Dining on Phi Phi Island

Cheap Market food on Phi Phi Don

Phi Phi Island market is near the pier on Phi Don Island.Just behind the main street as you walk into to the village there is a thriving market bazaar, selling the entire gamut of fish, meat and vegetables that are common in all Thai cooking. Along side this are the local curry houses where you can find all the local southern favourites from Geng Som to Geng Pla Kem, salty fish and bar b q snapper. My favourites are the fresh seafood curries and as long as you can handle the spices, the fish heads and bones are an amazing culinary experience worthy of more acclaim.

Wholesale prices for food on Phi Phi Island

Phi Phi Don gets it's food from Phuket and Krabi by boat. This is itself explains why food is more expensive as it needs to be handled on and off the boats and the cost of the ferries makes it more expensive.The  market is the place to check out prices but haggling is difficult. If you interested in bulk purchases it is better to do your shopping at the talad (market) in Phuket and Krabi.
