Phi Phi Islands' Reggae Bar Offers Tourists Chance to Step into the Boxing Ring

As of November 14th, 2025, tourists visiting Thailand's Phi Phi Islands have the opportunity to engage in an unusual nightlife activity at the Reggae Bar Phi Phi. The bar, which has been described as a 'must-visit' spot for a lively night out in the country, allows guests to jump into a real boxing ring and compete with other visitors.

There is no entrance fee to the bar, but guests are expected to purchase a drink to enter and watch the show. The fights typically last two to three rounds, and protective headgear is provided for the participants. A solo female travel influencer recently shared a video on Instagram showing two women fighting each other in the boxing ring at the Reggae Bar Phi Phi, with the caption "Still one of the craziest/spontaneous things I've done on my travels."

The bar's unique offering has drawn mixed reactions, with some commenters finding the experience entertaining, while others have expressed concerns about the ethics of profiting from "drunk tourists beating each other up." Nonetheless, the Reggae Bar Phi Phi continues to attract visitors seeking a one-of-a-kind nightlife experience on the islands.
