Important travel update: time change for AO NANG TRAVEL AND TOUR CO.,LTD.
Dear Valued Travelers,
Due to Muslim religious festival On 10 - 11 April 2024, the following times have been changed with the operator AO NANG TRAVEL AND TOUR CO.,LTD.
- Aonang – Phi Phi by ferry: change time from 09:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
- Railay – Phi Phi by ferry: changed time from 09:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

These revised departures apply on 10 and 11 April 2024 only. Services outside those two dates are not affected by this notice.
Why the change?
This adjustment by AO NANG TRAVEL AND TOUR CO.,LTD. aims to enhance their operational efficiency and provide a better travel experience. Our role as a reservation platform is to keep you updated and assist in making your journey as smooth as possible.
Who is affected by this time change for AO NANG TRAVEL AND TOUR CO.,LTD.
The update affects travellers holding tickets on the four ferry crossings listed above, departing from Ao Nang and Railay on 10 or 11 April 2024. Each departure moves later in the morning — by two hours on the Phi Phi crossings and by one hour on the Lanta crossings.
If your booking is with a different operator, or on a different date, your original departure time stands. Always check the operator name and time printed on your ticket or confirmation email.
Practical impact for your day
A later departure shifts your whole itinerary. Please allow for the following:
- Onward connections: later arrival at Phi Phi or Lanta may affect connecting boats, transfers or long-distance buses booked separately.
- Hotel timing: a late morning departure may sit awkwardly with a standard check-out, so ask your accommodation about luggage storage.
- Arrival at the pier: arrive in good time for the new departure, not the original one.
- Flights: if you are travelling on to an airport the same day, re-check that your connection still works.
For travelers with existing reservations
If you have booked a ticket for the affected routes through our platform, please plan your itinerary to include the new departure pier and consider the free transfer service if needed. We advise updating your travel arrangements accordingly.
Please note: the reference to a new departure pier and a free transfer service is carried over from the operator’s notice, and the specific pier is not stated. Confirm the pick-up point with our team before you travel.
