Koh Samui and Koh Phi Phi are on opposite coasts of the Thai peninsula, so there is no direct sea route. These tickets combine a road transfer across the peninsula with a boat, usually via the Donsak or Surat Thani piers for the Gulf islands, and the times shown are for the whole trip door to door. Expect most of a day: the quickest listed takes 7h, and the operator times the van to meet the ferry.

Good to know before you go
Leaving Koh Samui
Koh Samui has its own airport and is the starting point for most trips to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. It has several piers, and the right one depends on the operator, so check the departure pier on your ticket, not just “Koh Samui”.
Bangrak and Maenam are 10–20 minutes from the airport; Nathon is on the far side of the island. Allow for traffic in Chaweng.
Arriving in 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.
Weather and season
Weather runs to a different clock from the Andaman: the Gulf is usually calmest from February to August. Expect rain and rougher crossings from October to December.
