Frequently Asked Questions — Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang
How do I get from Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang?+
The standard way from Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang is a JOIN speedboat from Tonsai Pier, operated by Bundhaya Company (the only SmartEnPlus operator on this route). Two daily SmartEnPlus departures run at 10:30 and 16:15, both arriving Ao Nang beach about 1 hour later. The vessel is a 75-seat Speedboat Standard. There is no hotel pickup on Phi Phi — travelers make their own way to Tonsai Pier and check in at the operator counter at least 30 minutes before departure. Ao Nang Princess ferry (฿650, 2h) is a cheaper non-SmartEnPlus option for budget travelers but takes twice as long.
How much does the speedboat from Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang cost?+
SmartEnPlus lists the Bundhaya speedboat at ฿900 per adult (no child rate exposed). This is the only SmartEnPlus operator on the Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang route. Cheaper alternatives exist outside SmartEnPlus: Ao Nang Princess ferry ฿650, Wangsai speedboat ~฿600, Tigerline ~฿650. The ฿900 SmartEnPlus fare is the bookable online rate, valid through 2027-10-31. No infant or child ratecard is exposed in the API; travelers with young children should confirm the operator policy before booking. Sea-sickness pills are reportedly offered onboard.
What is the cancellation policy for Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang?+
The Bundhaya Company speedboat from Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang uses a three-tier refund policy: 100% refund if you cancel at least 72 hours before departure, 50% refund between 72 and 48 hours, and no refund within 48 hours of departure. Bundhaya is the sole SmartEnPlus operator on this route, so this policy applies to every booking. The same operator runs the speedboat as a 75-seat JOIN service from Tonsai Pier; the policy is operator-wide, not specific to this route. Travel insurance is recommended for bookings within 48 hours of departure.
