Koh Phi Phi Information
The speedboat and ferry trip to Phi Phi Island from Krabi, Phuket and Lanta is quite simply an unforgettable experience. As the 300 to 400 speedboat and ferry passengers approach the deep blue waters, you'll be amazed by Phi Phi's natural beauty. Speedboats and ferries are particularly popular between Phi Phi Island and Phuket Island, with five or more daily trips. Speedboats and ferries also shuttle between Ao Nang, Krabi town, Lanta Island and Railay Bay. Each speedboat and ferry is well maintained, undergoes regular safety inspections and carries all the necessary safety equipment and life jackets. When it comes to organizing your trip, all our partner speedboat and ferry companies are familiar with our e-ticketing and customer service procedures. When you arrive at the speedboat and ferry terminal, simply show your printed e-ticket to the speedboat or ferry staff. They'll take your e-ticket and give you a destination sticker, which you'll need to wear for the duration of your ferry journey. The main entry point to Phi Phi Island for speedboats and ferries is Tonsai Pier. However, if you're staying in the Laemtong area, at Phi Phi Natural Resort, Zeavola Resort, PP Erawan Resort or Phi Phi Holiday Inn Resort, you'll need to go to the speedboat and ferry embarkation and disembarkation point at Laemtong Bay. Whatever your reason for entering or leaving the island of Phi Phi, have a great speedboat and ferry trip, and if you have a spare moment, send us a postcard!

Phi Phi Island Introduction
About Koh Phi Phi
Koh Phi Phi (Phi Phi Island) in Krabi Province has to be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. As you draw near by sea the hilly, limestone landscape complete with cliffs and caves is wonderfully impressive. When setting foot on the beaches and gazing at the tranquil and turquoise ocean, your soul smiles. With national park status, although much more popular than ever before, Phi Phi beaches remain natural and protected. Bring your camera!
The Phi Phi Islands consist of two main islands: Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh. Most visitors base themselves on Phi Phi Don, which has accommodation, restaurants, and facilities. Phi Phi Leh, home to the iconic Maya Bay, is typically visited as a day trip. The dramatic scenery, clear waters, and vibrant marine life make these islands a top destination for both relaxation and adventure.
Getting to Koh Phi Phi
Koh Phi Phi is accessible only by sea. Several transport options connect mainland Thailand to the islands, depending on where you're traveling from and what suits your schedule and budget.
Main Ferry Routes to Koh Phi Phi
The most common route to Koh Phi Phi is from Phuket. Regular ferries operate daily between Phuket and Phi Phi Don, making this the most frequent and reliable connection. Ferries also run from Krabi mainland and from Ao Nang, offering alternative departure points for visitors in that region.
Day-trip boat tours also depart from nearby islands and coastal towns, particularly for visitors wanting to explore Phi Phi Leh and Maya Bay without staying overnight.
Travel from Popular Destinations
If you're coming from other parts of Thailand, you'll typically travel to one of the main ferry ports first. Many visitors arrive via Phuket International Airport and transfer to the ferry terminal. Others travel overland to Krabi Province and depart from ports there. Some routes combine bus or minivan transfers with ferry services for seamless multi-leg journeys.
What to Do on Koh Phi Phi
Koh Phi Phi offers activities for all types of travelers. Beach lovers can relax on sandy shores and swim in clear, warm waters. Snorkeling and diving are popular, with healthy coral reefs and diverse marine life. Hiking trails lead to viewpoints offering panoramic views of the islands and Andaman Sea. Rock climbing attracts adventurers to the limestone cliffs.
A visit to Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh is on most travelers' itineraries, whether by organized tour or private boat. The beach is temporarily closed periodically for environmental recovery, so check current status before planning. Evening strolls through Tonsai Village offer shopping, dining, and local culture.

Frequently asked questions
What are the tourist seasons ?
Phuket
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.
Koh 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).
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How long am I locked out for?
The first lock is one minute. If sign-in keeps failing after that, each further lock lasts longer:
- 1st lock — 1 minute
- 2nd lock — 5 minutes
- 3rd lock — 15 minutes
- 4th lock and after — 1 hour
An hour is the longest you will ever be locked out. You get five attempts before the first lock, and as soon as you sign in successfully everything resets — the next time you mistype, you start again at one minute.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
