You can select between a large ferry for comfort or a speedboat for a faster ride. Some boat companies also provide hotel transfer services from Phuket or Krabi (extra charges may apply).

• The flight from Bangkok to Krabi or Phuket takes around 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
• From the airport, travelers can transfer to the pier and take a ferry or speedboat to Phi Phi Island, which takes about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the boat type.
