About This Route

The Phuket to Koh Phi Phi fast boat is the most popular Andaman crossing in southern Thailand, linking Phuket with the limestone cliffs, turquoise bays, and buzzing village of Phi Phi Don. Boats depart from Rassada Pier, Phuket's main ferry terminal, and arrive at Tonsai Pier — right in the heart of Phi Phi's village — in around one hour.

Rassada Pier sits about 15 minutes from Phuket Town and 45–60 minutes from Patong, Kata, and Karon by taxi or songthaew, so plan your transfer with plenty of buffer. Check-in closes roughly 30–45 minutes before departure, and the pier has ticket offices, cafés, and luggage storage. On board you can expect an air-conditioned cabin, life jackets, and a smooth ride in the calm season — with the option on some boats to pause for a snorkel stop en route.

Ferries run year-round, with up to 14 sailings a day in high season (November–April) when the sea is at its calmest. Tickets from $17 USD one-way include your luggage allowance, and e-tickets are delivered instantly — just show your phone at check-in. We recommend booking a few days ahead in December–January, when boats regularly sell out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the ferry from Phuket to Koh Phi Phi?

The fast boat from Phuket's Rassada Pier to Koh Phi Phi's Tonsai Pier takes about 1 hour. Actual crossing time can vary slightly with sea conditions — the Andaman Sea can get choppy in the monsoon months (May–October), when crossings may take a little longer.

How much does the Phuket to Koh Phi Phi ferry cost?

One-way tickets cost roughly $17–24 USD per person depending on the operator and season. Phi Phi Cruiser and Andaman Wave Master are typically at the lower end, while Tigerline is usually at the top of the range. Prices include luggage allowance.

How many ferries run between Phuket and Koh Phi Phi each day?

There are about 14 sailings per day in high season, operated by Phi Phi Cruiser, Andaman Wave Master, Bundhaya Speedboat, and Tigerline. First departures leave Rassada Pier around 08:00 and the last boats run in the mid-afternoon.

Which pier does the ferry arrive at on Koh Phi Phi?

Most ferries arrive at Tonsai Pier, the main pier on Phi Phi Don, right in front of the village. Some services also call at Laem Tong in the north of the island. From Tonsai Pier, the main beach, shops, and guesthouses are a short walk away.

When is the best time to travel, and can I book the same day?

High season runs from November to April, when the sea is calmest — this is the best time to travel, and ferries run year-round. Same-day bookings are usually possible off-peak, but boats sell out in December–January and around holidays, so booking a few days ahead is recommended.
