Phi Phi and Phang Nga boats
Phuket boats are known for a Rassada morning to Phi Phi or Phang Nga, and they fit November to April. From May to October desks cancel first and you should keep a refund plan.
Back to Phuket
Passenger boats use Rassada Pier, and speedboats to Phi Phi run about 45 to 90 minutes in season. Maya Bay adds 400 THB and stays closed to swimming, and use Pileh. Phang Nga Bay is a different morning, and keep those two boats on different mornings.
May to October boats cancel, and read the refund line the afternoon before. A west-coast hotel car to Rassada is often 30 to 50 minutes, and overnight on Don only if a second morning is the point. Route notes sit on Phuket to Krabi and Phi Phi.
Which boat

| Phi Phi day speedboat | Maya look, Pileh swim | 400 THB often extra |
| Phang Nga / James Bond | Limestone bay, canoe stops | Not a Phi Phi add-on |
| Overnight ferry | Sleep on Don | Long Beach or Tonsai |
