Krabi Travel Forum

Here is our predicament:

We are arriving mid-afternoon on November 23 in Krabi and we are thinking of going straight to Phi Phi Island and spend November 24 and head to Railay on November 25 in the afternoon.

Saw that there is only one ferry boat that leaves Krabi and it's at 9ish in the morning, so that leaves us but to leave on the 24th, but we don't want that since we want to make the most of our two days in Phi Phi.

Question:
Is there a private boat we can hire to take us to Phi Phi in the afternoon of the 23rd and then pick us up on the 25th, in the afternoon?

Is it worth it? Any idea how much it would be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I think the only possiblity is to hire a speed boat but it will be a little expensive something around 1000 1500 bht per person one way.
You dont need to return to Krabi by speed boat you can use the ferry that departs from Phi Phi at 15;00 hs.

You might want to check other internet sites or perhaps the Phuket Gazette, because I'm pretty sure that there is more than just one ferry between Krabi-town's Chao Fah Pier and Ko Phi Phi.

For example, one this website, it shows 3 ferrys to Phi Phi daily and also one from Ao Nang/Railey.

hi marco,

my group of 6 pax just came back last nite from krabi. besides normal ferry to ko phi phi, just like what fernando said, u can actually hire speed boat to ko phi phi. hope info of help...

we spent 12000 baht rented a single motor speed boat for whole day yesterday, exploring nearby islands like ko chicken, ko bamboo, ko phi phi lei, phi phi don.

along the way we stopped by for snorkeling, cave watching (viking cave, birdnest picking), monkey beach watching monkey feeding by tourists (should not be feeding them as they are becoming quite agressive) - authority should put up warning signboard NO FEEDING OF MONKEY).

we saw a group of the monkeys came down to the tourists after runnout of foods. they began charging fiercely at tourists...
