Khao Lak to Koh Phi Phi 2026: Ferry, Transfer, Times & Prices
Read
Easiest: a minivan transfer Khao Lak to Phuket (Rassada Pier, ~1h30) then the Phuket to Phi Phi ferry (about 2h20) - 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 our small-group Maya Bay morning tour for the next day, before the day-trips.

In high season (November-April), combined speedboats link Khao Lak to Phi Phi via Phuket. The rest of the year there's no direct service: you take a road transfer to Phuket's Rassada Pier, then the regular ferry.
4-6h: ~1h30 transfer Khao Lak to Rassada Pier (Phuket), then about 2h20 of ferry, plus waiting. It's one of the shortest routes to Phi Phi since Khao Lak is already on the Andaman coast.
900-1,600 THB per person: transfer 350-600 THB + ferry from 750 THB. The high-season combined speedboat costs 1,500-2,500 THB but saves time.
Phuket - it's more direct from Khao Lak (just north of Phuket). Krabi is farther by road. Use Phuket's Rassada Pier.
Phuket to Phi Phi ferries leave at 8:30, 11:00, 13:30 and 15:00. Leave Khao Lak around 6-7am for the morning ferry, or early afternoon for the 13:30.
