Your Travel Guide to Thailand
All information & tips to prepare your trip in Thailand
Generally, to get to Koh Phi Phi from Bangkok, travelers prefer to fly to Phuket or Krabi and from there take the boats or ferries that connect to the island. Alternatively, they can make the same journey not by plane but by bus, as Phuket and Krabi are not accessible by train.
Alternatively, there are speedboat lines that connect Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta, Koh Kipe, or the Trang Islands (Koh Kook, Koh Ngai, Koh Kradan) during high season.
Please note: many buses can only be booked 30 days before departure, so they will not appear in our booking partner's results if you search earlier.
To leave Kho Phi Phi, unless you are going to Koh Lanta, the islands of Trang or Railay (only in high season), you will have to reach Phuket or Krabi by boat or ferry and then, from there, if these are not your final destinations, take the plane or bus to your next destination.
