Option 2: Ferry from Ao Nang Beach
If you\’re staying in Ao Nang rather than Krabi Town, some operators run ferries directly from Ao Nang or nearby Noppharat Thara Beach to Koh Phi Phi — approximately 1.5–2 hours, fares from ~350–450 THB (~$10–13 USD). More convenient than going to Krabi Town pier first. Check with your hotel or local agents for current departure times — this service is seasonal.
ℹ️ Ferries arrive at Ton Sai Bay — Koh Phi Phi\’s main pier and village area. All accommodation is reachable on foot or by longtail boat from here. No vehicles on the island — everything is walked. If you have heavy luggage, hire a porter at the pier (~100 THB per bag).
