    Travel Tips

    • All ferries and speedboats depart from Rassada Pier in Phuket Town — most hotels offer transfer.
    • Book tickets 2–3 days ahead in high season (December–March) as boats fill up.
    • Morning departures (8:30–9:00) arrive in time for lunch on Phi Phi.
    • Bring reef-safe sunscreen — you'll likely snorkel on arrival.
    • Return ferries depart Phi Phi at 9:00, 13:30, and 15:00 — confirm your return time on arrival.
    • Phi Phi has no ATMs that accept all cards — bring enough cash or withdraw in Phuket first.

    Our Recommendation: Take the regular ferry for the best value — ฿350, comfortable, and you get to enjoy the Andaman Sea views. Book the 8:30am departure to maximize your time on Phi Phi.
