What’s the experience like?

Someone handed me a sticker at Klong Jilad Pier — I stuck it on my shirt without really knowing why, but everyone else was doing it too. The air smelled salty and a bit like sunscreen, and there were families with strollers, couples in matching hats, a guy quietly strumming his phone. Our local crew moved through the crowd calling out “Phi Phi!” every so often — not loud, just enough so you’d look up if you needed to.

I didn’t expect the ferry to be this big. There’s something about sitting on those wide blue seats, watching the last bits of Krabi slip away behind glass windows streaked with sea spray. The engine hums steady under your feet. A little girl pointed out jellyfish bobbing past; her dad tried to take a photo but missed it. I wandered out onto the deck for a while — wind in my face, sun already sharp even though it wasn’t that late in the morning. You could smell instant noodles somewhere (someone always brings snacks), and people kept swapping stories about where they were headed next.

The trip from Krabi to Phi Phi Tonsai takes about two hours, but honestly I lost track of time after a while. There’s a restroom onboard (I was relieved — literally), and plenty of space if you want to stretch your legs or just stare at the horizon. The staff checked tickets again halfway through; one of them grinned when he saw me still wearing that sticker. It’s funny how something as simple as a ferry transfer can feel like part of the adventure itself — not just getting from A to B.
