Guide, Itinerary and Travel Ideas for Koh Phi-Phi

Must do travel ideas and activities in Koh Phi-Phi

How to Get To Koh Phi Phi

The islands of Koh Phi Phi are very popular among tourists in Thailand, but with good reason the island is nothing short of breath taking with tons of natural beauty.

At Koh Phi-Phi you will find everything you would expect to see on a postcard from a tropical island paradise, like soft white sand, brilliant turquoise water, and lush green palm forests, you can find all over the Phi Phi Islands.

Koh Phi Phi is composed of six different islands. The only inhabited island is Koh Phi Phi Don which is where the ferry will take you. This is the biggest island out of the six and it is still no bigger than 10 square kilometres its very small and easy to navigate your way around.

Travellers can only stay on Koh Phi Phi Don, but there are tons of hostels, resorts, restaurants, bars, and tourist attractions which I will take you through.

To get here you can take a ferry from one of 3 places. Krabi (90 mins), Koa Santa (90 mins) and Phuket (2 hours).

The ferries are a very economical option to get to the island, i'd recommend booking in advance to get the best possible deal you can expect to pay between 500 - 1000 baht (15-30$ USD) per ticket pending the location, time of year and time in advance of booking.

Id recommend staying 2-3 days in Koh Phi Phi to maximize what you see and do.
