Railay is the short longtail, not a province hop, and Hong Island is a park morning. Phi Phi is a longer speedboat from Klong Jilad, with Maya Bay at 400 THB and no swimming. Do not book Hong and Phi Phi on the same ticket.

Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) is 1,237 steps above Krabi Town, on the mainland, not on Phi Phi. Start at 07:00, and Koh Lanta is an overnight, not a day trip. Sleep stays on where to stay.
