Ferries from Phuket: Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe and more

Phuket is the starting point for scheduled passenger boats to Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe and the small islands off the Krabi and Trang coast. The same crossing is often run by several operators in different boats, so the journey time you get depends on the boat you book. The cards below give each figure as the source states it, and say when we last checked.

How it works

• Scheduled boats from Phuket use several piers; Rassada Pier is the one the operators and booking sites we checked name most often.
• The same route can be a fast boat or a slower seat ferry. On Phuket to Koh Phi Phi the sources we checked quote about 45 minutes for one service and about 2 hours for another, so look at the boat type on your ticket.
• One booking site describes May to October as low season, with less frequent or cancelled crossings in rough seas on the Ao Nang route. Treat that as a reason to confirm the day before, on any route.
• This page covers scheduled passenger boats. Day tours to Phang Nga Bay and the Similan Islands are not covered yet.

Ferries

Timetables and journey times change by season and operator, and a ticket is not a guaranteed seat. Every card says when we last checked and links the page we read; confirm on the operator's own page before you plan around a departure. We list operators' own pages and do not earn commission on these links.
