With salas, hammocks, mats, & interesting boat seats, Sunflower offers fantastic ocean views and magnificent sunsets in a beautiful, tropical setting. Do yourself a favour and check out the island's only true chill-out bar... the last remaining thai-style beach bar that refuses to become like all the others with their fake offers, evil buckets, and ridiculously loud, crap music. « less

We visited phi phi for New Year and found Sun Flower at end of beach. It has a unique laid back charm... Which is so different from the other bars. Super laid back with amazing salvaged furniture. Competitively priced with great authentic food. Get there for sunset and enjoy happy hour whilst chilling in a Hamock... Doesn't get any better! More

Really is very good at the end of the beach, you can take your time at sundown and previous the party at the beach. Can drink a cocktail or beer when play pool but unluckely is not so clean, the people are good and funny, the own is good person. May be at the future they will be better with... More

There are moments travelling when your so relaxed, and one is when your having a sundowner over looking one of the best beaches on earth. Chilled out music in the back ground, hammocks, pool table, cards, board games etc. Why wouldn't you come here?! More

The Sunflower Bar is like no other place I visited in Thailand. It is authentic and not like many of the average "touristy" bars on the Island. The staff are very friendly - they go above and beyond to make you feel at home and the Pad Thai is easily the best on the Island! More

Rust charm! Just laid back, good honest relaxation! Nothing fancy, no neon lights, no buckets allowed, no fire shows, no thumping music! Says it all. Lovely food and a charming owner. Well done for sticking to your guns and remaining sane in the bucket fuelled madness of phi phi. Great cocktails and fabulous food! More

We went there after reading the reviews here, and were sadly disappointed. The boat-shaped seats were quaint indeed, and looked out over the sea, but compared to all the other bars on Lo Dalum beach, this one looked like it needed a real shake-up. Perhaps the mistake we made was going there after dark instead of afternoon.... it seemed really... More

We visited Ton Sai for one afternoon while staying nearby at the Phi Phi Island Village Resort. We asked a local dive shop for a lunch recommendation and we were told that the Sunflower Beach Bar was a favorite. We didn't know that the Tsunami Memorial was next to the Bar and our waiter gave us his personal recollection of... More

the bar is very interesting with all the seating and tables made of debris from the tsunami. The prices are very inexpensive. The boats made into tables are very cool. We thought it was the best bar in Ton Sai Bay. More

We stayed on Phi Phi for 2 nights in July 2010 and spent both nights just chilling at this bar. The best sunset view on the island and the hospitality shown to us by Mel & Ben was great. Along with the best chill out tunes from their sound system...bliss. The simple Thai food was delicious and cheap and the... More

This place is my favourite place to chill. The views of the bay are superb. The funky benches made out of long tail boats and the hammocks are great. The staff are soooooo nice. The bar is owned by Mel & her Thai husband who looks remarkably like Captain Jack Sparrow! Do yourself and visit but please stay away in... More
