Good to know before you go

Leaving Koh Phi Phi

Koh Phi Phi Don is the inhabited island, with Ton Sai village on a narrow strip between two bays; Maya Bay is on the uninhabited Phi Phi Leh nearby. There are no cars, so ferries arrive at Ton Sai and porters with trolleys meet the boats.

A small island fee (20 baht at the time of writing) is collected as you walk off Ton Sai Pier on arrival. Keep some cash handy.

Arriving in Koh Yao Yai

Koh Yao Yai is the larger and quieter of the two Yao islands, with rubber plantations, Muslim fishing villages and views of the Phang Nga Bay karsts. Boats come from Phuket’s east coast and from the Krabi side.

The island is big and has little public transport. Arrange a transfer or rent a scooter at the pier.

Weather and season

Best November to April, when the sea is calm. From May to October the south-west monsoon brings swells; big ferries keep running but many speedboat island-hops stop.
