Koh Phi Phi to Krabi Speed Boat Transfer: Direct Route

One hour across open water, no detours to other islands

A one-way speed boat transfer from Koh Phi Phi Don to Krabi, departing twice daily from either Laem Tong Beach or Ton Sai Pier and arriving at Kong Ka Pier. The boat carries basic travel insurance and runs without intermediate stops. Drop-off options to Krabi hotels or the airport are available for an additional fee. Children from age 2 are welcome, though the ride is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns.

The experience

The speed boat leaves from one of two pickup points on Koh Phi Phi Don (Laem Tong Beach in front of the Holiday Inn Resort or Ton Sai Pier), and heads directly to Kong Ka Pier in Krabi Town. You'll need to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure and show your ticket voucher on your phone to the boat crew. The crossing takes about an hour with no stops along the way, which is what makes it faster than the standard ferry routes that call at multiple islands.

Once you reach Kong Ka Pier, you have options for getting to your final destination. A shared minivan can drop you at hotels in Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Ao Nam Mao, Klong Muang, or Tubkaek Beach for 250 THB per person, or to Krabi International Airport for the same price. If you need a private car transfer to Haad Yao, Tha-Lane, or Nua-Klong, that's available as a group option (up to 6 people) for 1,200 THB. The boat operates twice daily in both high and low season, so you can choose a departure time that fits your schedule.

The journey is suitable for all fitness levels, and children from age 2 can travel as long as infants sit on an adult's lap. If you're catching a flight from Krabi, plan to arrive at least two hours before an international departure or one hour before a domestic one to account for the transfer time from Kong Ka Pier to the airport.
