Phi Phi Islands

How To Reach Phi Phi Islands


The Phi Phi Islands can be reached only by boat. The most common route is from Phuket or Krabi. From Phuket, ferries and speedboats depart daily from Rassada Pier, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours. From Krabi, boats leave from Klong Jilad Pier and take about 90 minutes. Speedboats are quicker and ideal for day trips, while ferries are more economical and offer scenic views. You can book transfers online or at local travel agencies. There is no airport on the islands, so travelers must fly into Phuket or Krabi and continue by sea.

Best Time To Visit Phi Phi Islands


The best time to visit the Phi Phi Islands is from November to April. During these months, the weather is dry, sunny, and perfect for beach activities and boat tours. The seas are calm, making it safe for snorkeling and diving. Temperatures range from 25°C to 32°C, offering comfortable conditions. Avoid the monsoon season from May to October, as heavy rains and rough seas may disrupt travel plans. Peak tourist months are December and January, so plan early if visiting during the holidays. For fewer crowds, consider traveling in November or March.
