Easiest: a minivan transfer Khao Lak to Phuket (Rassada Pier, ~1h30) then the Phuket to Phi Phi ferry (2h) - total 4-6h, 900-1,600 THB. In high season, combined Khao Lak to Phi Phi speedboats run and shorten the trip. No direct link the rest of the year.

Short answer

Khao Lak is already on the Andaman coast, just north of Phuket: it's one of the shortest routes to Koh Phi Phi. You go via Phuket's pier.

Our tip: transfer to Rassada Pier + the regular ferry. Simple and reliable all year. In high season, ask whether a direct combined speedboat runs on your date - it saves 1-2h. - The team

Once at Phi Phi

Khao Lak being close, you reach Tonsai Pier by midday - time to drop your bags and book a Maya Bay sunrise for the next morning, before the day-trips.
