Tonsai East in Phi Phi

Tonsai East is a laidback beach area past Chukit Resort, leading to Long Beach on Phi Phi Island. Although it's not as busy as Tonsai Village, you can still find a fair selection of budget and mid-range bungalow resorts, as well as some shopping opportunities – though they are scarcer and scarcer as you get closer to Long Beach.
