Frequently Asked Questions

Is one day enough for Phi Phi from Krabi?
One day gives you time for a focused island visit and a stop around Ton Sai Bay, rather than several separate island stops. The boat trip from Krabi Marina Pier to Ko Phi Phi Don takes about 1 hour. Confirm the piers and return timing with the operator before booking.
What should you book or check first?
Ask the boat operator to confirm the departure pier, arrival pier and return timing before booking. Check the operator’s boarding instructions at both ends and current ticket prices. Boat service times shape how long you have ashore, so check those before setting your day’s pace.
What should you wear and bring for the trip?
Wear clothes suited to a full day outdoors and carry water. Krabi’s southern west coast receives its most rain in September, so a light rain layer is useful then. There is no temple stop on this route; alcohol is not allowed in Thailand’s national parks.
How do you get around during the day?
Travel from Krabi Marina Pier to Ko Phi Phi Don by boat; the trip takes about 1 hour. Check service times with the operator. On the island, ask your operator for directions between your drop-off point, Phi Phi Island, Ton Sai Bay and Ton Sai Pier, and keep your return arrangements close at hand.
Where should you stay before or after the island day?
Ao Nang Beach has a broad choice of stays and boat departures for islands in the Krabi Sea. Krabi Town Riverside Pier puts you near Krabi Town, while Krabi Marina Pier is a departure point for Ko Phi Phi Don. Choose the area that fits your onward plans.
