It was a good size boat. Took longer than 2.5 hours and lots of people smoking plus the fume. Staff did not take our luggage out so I had to go back in and the crowd was big.

Fast trip from Phuket to Phi Phi. A little bumpy but I made sure I took travel sickness medication prior to the trip. Everyone was on the boat early so we managed to get going about 20 minutes early!

It was delayed by the heavy traffic on the day. It would be appreciated if they provided a timely updated about the final arrival time. We could not make the tour because of unclear information, even though I asked the respective about the delay because of language barrier.

Food and drink prices on Koh Phi Phi vary but are generally higher than on the mainland due to transportation costs.
Budget travelers can find affordable options like street food, small local restaurants, and simple dishes like fried rice or noodles costing 100–150 THB.

Walking across Koh Phi Phi, specifically the main island of Koh Phi Phi Don, can take approximately 30–45 minutes depending on the route and pace. The island is small and lacks motorized transport, making it ideal for walking. Popular routes include from Tonsai Bay to Loh Dalum Beach or hiking to the Phi Phi Viewpoint, which offers panoramic views of the island. Paths may involve some uphill climbs, so proper footwear is recommended. Most areas are easily accessible, but it’s worth noting that some paths can be narrow or uneven. Exploring on foot allows visitors to appreciate the island’s natural beauty, including lush vegetation, limestone cliffs, and the clear waters surrounding it. Consider carrying water and avoiding the midday heat for a more comfortable experience.

Yes, Koh Phi Phi is a feasible day trip from Phuket, as it is located about 40 kilometers away. Ferry rides take approximately 1.5–2 hours each way, while speedboats can cut the travel time to around 45 minutes. Organized day tours are popular, offering activities such as snorkeling, swimming, and exploring Maya Bay or Monkey Beach. These tours typically include lunch and sometimes stops at nearby islands, providing a comprehensive experience. However, staying overnight allows visitors to enjoy a more relaxed pace and experience the island's nightlife. Day trips are suitable for those with limited time, but travelers should plan for an early start to maximize their time on Koh Phi Phi. Booking tours in advance is advised during peak seasons to ensure availability.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Phuket and Koh Phi Phi, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea.
