The island just recently got electricity 2008 and it's starting to get developed in the southern part. The constant loud noise from bars and partygoers, like it is at Phi Phi, has not been an issue here, but this will probably change with time. Beer and stronger drinks are available from your guesthouse, or from shops in the Ko Pu, Ting Rai and Ko Jum villages.
Respect the locals by making an effort to keep bottles of alcohol out of view, and keep in mind that many travellers come here to get a quiet break from these parties that you'll find anywhere else in Thailand.
