Piers at both ends

Where to go on the day, and what to expect when you land.

Ton Sai Pier

Koh Phi Phi: The main pier on Phi Phi Don. Almost all ferries and speedboats use it.

Laem Tong

Koh Phi Phi: Northern beach where a few boats call for the resorts there.

Railay East floating pier

Railay: Used by many ferries; at low tide some transfers are by longtail.

Piers named by the operators for this route: Koh Phi Phi Ton Sai Pier, Koh Phi Phi and Laem Tong Beach Koh Phi Phi → Railay East Pier, Floating Pier East Railay, Railay Beach and Floating Pier East Railey.

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 Railay

Railay is on the mainland, but limestone cliffs cut it off from the road, so every arrival is by boat. Ferries between Ao Nang, Phi Phi and Lanta stop off Railay and passengers transfer by longtail, so expect to wade or climb down to a small boat with your bags.

Pack light: transfers to and from the big ferry are by longtail and you carry your own luggage across the boats.

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.
