Travel with my friend

If you’ve ever been to Koh Phi Phi in Thailand you’ll know it’s famous for it’s beach bars and party lifestyle. The beach bars are also known for being full of crazy drunk tourists burning themselves on fire engulfed skipping ropes.

While it’s certainly not the cheapest or anywhere near the most cultural of any of the Thai Islands, it still has it’s charms. For a hedonistic break away from backpacking for a week and a chance to let loose and make new friends.

It’s all too easy to end up at the Apache or Ibiza bars when heading to the beach. At first glance it seems that’s almost all there is down there as they’re pretty big. But a venture along the sandy shore will soon bring you to our favourite bar. The Stones Bar. With a completely different blend of house music for the more descerning dance music lover, it’s atmosphere is much more chilled with an abundant array of comfy cushions on the ground. The staff are great and we were lucky enough to meet two friendly sisters from America working there. Both experts at fire poi.

If you want easily the best show on the beach, you don’t want to see stupid drunk tourists burning their ankles and you want decent house music then I suggest giving the other bars a miss and heading down the beach to the Stones Bar.

Here’s a short video I made of the fire show. Also available in HD on youtube.
