Frequently Asked Questions — Ao Nang to Koh Phi Phi

How do I get from Ao Nang to Koh Phi Phi?+

SmartEnPlus runs a direct 10:10 departure from Nopparat Thara Pier to Tonsai Pier on Koh Phi Phi, arriving at 11:00 — a 50-minute crossing of about 35 km across the Andaman Sea. Two operators run the same sailing at the same price: Bundhaya Company on a 75-seat speedboat and Ao nang Travel and Tour on a 250-seat ferry.

There is no hotel pickup in Ao Nang, so travel to Nopparat Thara Pier yourself — it is on the west end of Ao Nang, about 2 km from the beach strip and 10 to 15 minutes away by songthaew. On Koh Phi Phi you arrive at Tonsai Pier and walk into Tonsai village; there is no hotel drop-off.

Two cash-only fees are payable at Tonsai Pier on arrival and are not in the ticket: a ฿20 pier fee and the ฿400 national park entry for adults or ฿200 for children.

How much does the ferry or speedboat from Ao Nang to Koh Phi Phi cost?+

The SmartEnPlus fare from Ao Nang to Koh Phi Phi is ฿900 per adult and ฿700 per child, with infants travelling free. The same price applies to both products on the 10:10 sailing: the 75-seat Bundhaya speedboat and the 250-seat Ao nang Travel and Tour ferry.

Both take 50 minutes from Nopparat Thara Pier to Tonsai Pier. The fare is not date-bounded, and the ferry contract runs until 31 May 2027 while the speedboat contract runs until 31 December 2027.

Plan for ฿920 to ฿1,300 per adult in total, because the ฿900 ticket does not include the ฿20 pier fee and the ฿400 national park entry fee payable in cash at Tonsai Pier. Outside SmartEnPlus, the Ao Nang Princess ferry leaves at 09:30, takes about 2 hours, and costs around ฿615 to ฿650.

Do children pay a different fare on the Ao Nang to Koh Phi Phi crossing?+

Yes. On the Ao Nang to Koh Phi Phi crossing, children pay ฿700 and adults pay ฿900, and infants travel free. This applies to both the Bundhaya speedboat and the Ao nang Travel and Tour ferry on the 10:10 departure from Nopparat Thara Pier to Tonsai Pier.

The children's national park entry fee is also lower than the adult rate: ฿200 per child against ฿400 per adult for Hat Noppharat Thara–Phi Phi Islands National Park, payable in cash at Tonsai Pier on arrival along with the ฿20 pier fee.

The child's fare is not date-bounded. The ferry contract runs until 31 May 2027 and the speedboat contract until 31 December 2027.
