Up Hill Cottage

Ko Phi-Phi


These cream-painted, wood-panelled bungalows come in cute pastels offset by colourful bed runners and snazzily tiled bathrooms. Most enjoy island views (of varying beauty) from private balconies. There's a small pool. It's at the eastern end of the main street heading north from Ton Sai Village. Beware the hundreds of stairs.
