Route details
Krabi to Phi Phi: ferry and speedboat guide
Krabi to Phi Phi is shorter than the Phuket crossing, but it has one trap: people say 'Krabi' when they mean very different pickup points. The clean ferry fact is Krabi Klong Jilad Pier to Phi Phi Tonsai Pier. If your ticket starts at an Ao Nang hotel, Krabi Town agency or airport-side pickup, that land leg is separate from the boat unless it is clearly bundled. Keep the ferry pier and the hotel pickup in two different boxes in your head and the route becomes much easier.
Ticket-only warning
The checked Andaman page says its Krabi-Phi Phi prices are for the ferry ticket only and do not include land transfer in Krabi, Lanta or Phi Phi.
Budget anchor
The local guide band for ferry is THB460-560 per person, and Andaman lists THB450 adult one-way on the checked Krabi-Tonsai page.
Route steps
Before the boat - step by step
Use these steps to keep the pier, boat check-in and Koh Phi Phi arrival details clear.
1
Check your Krabi departure pier or pickup area.
Tickets can start at a Krabi pier, Ao Nang area pickup or another operator point. Confirm the exact meeting point.
2
Arrive early for boat check-in.
Leave time for road transfer, ticket checks and luggage handling before the ferry or speedboat leaves.
3
Cross from Krabi coast to Koh Phi Phi.
Ferries are usually easier with bags. Speedboats can be faster, but the ride depends more on sea conditions.
4
Arrive at Tonsai Pier or the listed Phi Phi pier.
Most tickets finish at the pier. Check how you will reach your hotel or beach area after arrival.
Travel warning
Choose boat type around luggage and weather
Andaman's checked Krabi-Phi Phi ferry price is ticket-only and excludes land transfer. Do not assume hotel pickup just because the route page says Krabi.
The official ferry-only anchor used here ends at the 13:00 Klong Jilad departure. Later partner services may exist, but you need a confirmed ticket.
Bad weather affects speedboats first. If the sea is rough, prefer ferry and leave breathing room after arrival.
Simple rule:
Choose ferry if luggage and comfort matter more; choose speedboat only when the faster crossing fits the sea conditions and baggage rules.
Ferry and weather buffer
Island routes can depend on pier reporting time, ferry crossing and sea conditions. Avoid tight flight or train connections after the transfer.
If the schedule changes
Check the operator ticket for the next available ferry or combined transfer. Private road transfer does not replace the ferry crossing where one is required.
Last-mile check
Check the exact pier and whether onward hotel, airport or city transfer is included after the boat. Some tickets end at the pier only.
What to check before booking
Check the exact pickup point, reporting time and final drop-off on the partner ticket.
Check baggage allowance, extra-bag rules and whether large items need a bigger vehicle.
Check whether ferry crossing, pier transfer and onward transfer are included.
Check whether the service is fixed schedule, shared transfer or door-to-door.
Pickup and drop-off check

Practical tips
Small things that make Phi Phi transfers easier
These notes are specific to travelling from Krabi to Koh Phi Phi by ferry or speedboat.
If your ticket says Klong Jilad, plan the road ride to that pier separately unless the ticket includes pickup. Ao Nang is not the pier.
The checked Andaman ferry times are 09:00 and 13:00 from Klong Jilad. That makes the 13:00 boat the last practical ferry-only anchor from this source.
12Go shows later Krabi-Phi Phi partner listings, including speedboat and van+speedboat choices, but those should be treated as booked-ticket options, not walk-up assumptions.
Van+ferry can be worth it from Ao Nang because it solves the annoying land leg. Check whether the pickup is your hotel, an agency point or a main-road meeting place.
With big luggage, choose the bigger ferry unless timing strongly favors speedboat. The short crossing can still feel messy when bags are being handed around at a busy pier.
If you are coming from Krabi Airport the same day, build in road time and ticket check-in. The map looks close enough to tempt bad planning.
At Tonsai, do not follow the first person offering 'hotel boat' unless you know your hotel requires one. Many central stays are walkable; remote bays are a different story.
For scams, watch the phrase 'same same Phi Phi' when the seller cannot name Klong Jilad, Tonsai, or your exact included pickup. Names matter here.
FAQ
Questions about Krabi to Koh Phi Phi
Which pier do I leave from in Krabi?
The checked ferry route is Krabi Klong Jilad Pier to Phi Phi Tonsai Pier. If you are in Ao Nang, Railay or Krabi Airport, check whether your ticket includes the transfer to Klong Jilad.
What is the last practical ferry from Krabi to Phi Phi?
Andaman's checked ferry timetable lists 13:00 from Klong Jilad to Tonsai. 12Go shows some later partner services, but after early afternoon I would only move with a confirmed ticket.
Is land transfer included?
Not by default. Andaman explicitly says its listed Krabi-Phi Phi ferry price does not include land transfer in Krabi, Lanta or Phi Phi. Partner van+ferry tickets may include pickup, but check the pickup point.
How much is Krabi to Phi Phi?
The local guide band is THB460-560 for ferry. Andaman lists THB450 adult one-way on the checked Klong Jilad to Tonsai route; speedboat and pickup bundles cost more.
Is speedboat better than ferry from Krabi?
Speedboat is faster, but ferry is usually easier with luggage and rougher weather. For families or travelers prone to seasickness, ferry is the calmer default.
Can I do Krabi Airport to Phi Phi on arrival day?
Yes if your flight lands early enough and you have a confirmed pier transfer. If you land late morning or afternoon, check the boat time before leaving the airport, not after reaching the pier.
Where do I arrive on Phi Phi?
The checked Krabi ferry arrives at Tonsai Pier. Central Phi Phi stays are often walkable from there; remote beaches may need hotel boat or longtail.
