Koh Phi Phi Information
For travelers looking for an adventure, getting to Koh Phi Phi Island would be a unique experience because the main way to arrive here is by ferry or speedboats, one of the most fun ways to travel! For that reason, you need to reach one of the nearby piers in Krabi, Phuket or Koh Lanta. Krabi and Phuket possess national airports that offer flights from/to Bangkok, and their airports are located at one hour and a half by car from the docks where you pick the ferry, also you have the option to get here by renting a car or taking a bus. Krabi town is the closest city to the island (Koh), the ferry departs from Klong Jirad Pier and it takes 90 minutes to arrive at Koh Phi Phi Don’s pier (Koh Phi Phi Tonsay Pier). On the other hand, trips from/to Phuket take around 2 hours.

Koh Phi Phi Information
Koh Phi Phi at a glance
Koh Phi Phi is an archipelago surrounded by marvelous natural sceneries, beaches composed by turquoise water and white sand, tropical fauna and flora and famous limestones that make this island the perfect picture for a postal card. It’s formed by six beaches, being Koh Phi Phi Don (Tonsay Pier) the mainland, and five secluded islands ready to explore. Koh Phi Phi is the ideal destination to discover the Andaman coast and enjoy some of its outdoors activities and parties on the beach.
Because the islands sit between the mainland and the southern Andaman island chain, Koh Phi Phi works equally well as a short stop or as the base for a longer island-hopping trip. Travellers usually arrive by water, spend a few days on the beaches and dive sites, then continue south or back to the coast.
How to get to Koh Phi Phi
There are no roads to the archipelago, so every journey ends with a sea crossing. Services run to and from the mainland coast as well as directly between neighbouring islands, and combined tickets let you join a land leg to a sea leg on a single booking.
Our booking system currently lists 141 routes bookable routes touching Koh Phi Phi, with fares from ฿350. Because departure times, crossing durations and vehicle types change with the season and the weather, always check the live results for your travel date rather than relying on a published timetable.
Ports and arrival points
The main arrival and departure point on the archipelago is Tonsay Pier on Koh Phi Phi Don, the largest island and the one where almost all accommodation, restaurants and tour desks are found. The pier sits within walking distance of the village centre, so most travellers can reach their hotel on foot or by longtail boat for the more remote bays.
On the mainland side and on neighbouring islands, crossings use the local piers and beach landings served by each operator. Some smaller island stops use tender boats or beach transfers instead of a fixed pier, so pack accordingly and expect to carry your luggage a short distance.
Popular routes and connections
Koh Phi Phi connects to Ao Nang, Koh Bulon, Koh Jum, Koh Kradan, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe and 12 more destinations.
- Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang — a mainland link that puts you within reach of the wider Krabi coast.
- Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta — one of the most-travelled hops for visitors heading south at an easy pace.
- Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lipe — the long southern run towards the Malaysian border, often booked as a through ticket.
- Koh Phi Phi to Koh Jum and Koh Kradan — quieter island stops for travellers who want fewer crowds.
- Koh Phi Phi to Koh Bulon — a far-south option usually combined with other island calls.
Operators serving the archipelago include Andaman Wave Master, Ao Nang Travel and Tour Co.,Ltd. and Bundhaya Speed Boat, alongside others shown in the live search. Comparing several operators against the alternatives on your date is the quickest way to see the trade-off between price and departure time.
Practical travel information
A few points make the trip smoother:
- Arrive early. Piers are busy at peak departure times, and check-in usually closes before the scheduled departure.
- Travel light where you can. Boarding often involves steps, ramps or a short walk along the pier, and luggage is stowed separately.
- Book ahead in high season. Popular island crossings sell out on busy dates, and booking online secures your seat before you arrive.
- Check the conditions on your ticket. Baggage allowance, changes and cancellation terms differ by operator and are shown with each result.
- Allow buffer time for onward travel. Sea crossings can be delayed by weather, so avoid booking a tight connection to a flight on the same day.
- Bring cash and sun protection. Some pier fees and small vendors are cash-only, and much of the journey is spent in open sun.
The archipelago has no airport of its own, so air travellers connect via the mainland and finish the trip by sea.
What to see and do
The draw here is the water. Snorkelling and diving over reefs, kayaking beneath the limestone cliffs and longtail boat trips around the five secluded islands fill most itineraries. Viewpoint walks on Koh Phi Phi Don repay the climb with a look across the twin bays, and the beaches on the smaller islands stay quiet outside day-trip hours.
In the evening, the village near Tonsay Pier is the centre of the island's well-known beach party scene, while the outlying bays stay calm — worth knowing when you choose where to stay.

What are the tourist seasons ?
Phuket Ferry :
Phuket really just has two seasons, which are known as "high season" and "low season" (or "green season"). During the low season months (May- September), boat numbers are reduced. During the high season (October - April), boats to the surrounding islands are increased so you will have some more options.
Ferry Samui :
There are three distinct weather seasons on the tropical island of Koh Samui: the dry season (December until February), the hot season (March until August) and the rainy season (September until November).
Bali Ferry :
Bali actually has a variety of tourist periods, notably around the Balinese New Year, 15 December - 15 January, and 1 June - 30 September. During these high traffic periods, boats to the surrounding islands are increased so you will have some more options. The quieter periods are between 16 January - 30 April and 1 October - 14 December historically.
Will bad weather affect my travels?
Ferries are large and can usually operate in the rain, except in extremely bad weather. During storms or strong winds, the journey may take a little longer than usual.
Speedboats are more likely to be canceled than ferries. If a trip is canceled due to bad weather, you can choose to receive a refund or reschedule. Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip.
On rough days, we recommend bringing motion sickness medication and taking it about 20 minutes before boarding if you are prone to seasickness. Boat staff may also provide Dramamine upon request, but you will need to remain indoors during rough conditions. On sunny and calm days, the sun deck is open for passengers to enjoy the weather.
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
When will I receive my ticket confirmation?
After completing your online booking, your reservation will remain in “Pending” status until it is processed. Once confirmed, we will send your e-ticket via email. The process is usually very quick.
On the day of travel, please present your e-ticket to the ferry staff at the relevant booking counter. If you do not receive your confirmation within 24 hours, contact us immediately.
What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
