Frequently Asked Questions
The absolute best time for the Andaman coast (Phuket, Phi Phi, Krabi) is between November and April. The seas are calm, skies are clear, and it is perfect for boat transfers and snorkeling.
Yes, safety is our priority. We book standard, modern ferries that are fully licensed and equipped with life jackets. The journey from Phuket to Phi Phi takes about 2 hours, and Phi Phi to Krabi takes around 1.5 to 2 hours.
Island hopping involves frequent boat travel. While large ferries are relatively stable, speedboats can be bumpy. We highly recommend taking motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding any boat if you are prone to sea sickness.
Large ferries have designated luggage storage areas. However, as you are moving between islands, traveling light with easy-to-carry luggage (like backpacks or sturdy wheeled suitcases) is highly recommended.
No, Thailand requires tourists to pay National Park fees directly in cash upon arrival at islands like Phi Phi and the Krabi 4 Islands (approx 400 THB per adult). This money goes directly towards marine conservation.
