KRABI FERRY TICKETS
Ao Nang Princess and the bus-and-boat combinations run to Phi Phi, Koh Lanta and Phuket, and the schedules thin out in the monsoon. These 11 cover the crossings, priced with the pier transfers made clear.
Travel from Ao Nang to Phuket by Ao Nang Princess Ferry, with pickup from selected Krabi hotels and drop-off in Phuket Town, Patong, Kata, Karon, or Chalong. Expect a large ferry, a Railay stop, open-air views, onboard toilets, and a door-to-door journey that can take longer than advertised.
“The view of the water and the islands is very impressive. It is a beautiful view. Very nice scenery.”
Travel from Krabi to Koh Samui on one pre-booked ticket with hotel pickup, an air-conditioned minivan or coach, and a high-speed ferry. Choose an 8:00, 9:30, or 11:30 departure. The route takes about 4 to 5 hours in ideal conditions, though delays and vehicle changes can make it longer.
“Initially when I booked I was sent an email saying the initial pick up time was wrong, and should read 10am instead of 11am. But the pick up was in fact 11am. So I was waiting for an hour for no reason. This should have been better organised. The air con on the coach was poor, a number of hours on the coach where it was too hot. A smooth transition onto from coach to ferry was good.”
Travel from Ao Nang or nearby Krabi beaches to Koh Lanta by Ao Nang Princess Ferry. A shared morning pickup takes you to Nopparat Thara Pier, followed by a roughly two-hour cruise to Saladan Pier. Bring a layer for cold air-conditioning, and arrange your Koh Lanta taxi ahead.
“Trip date 4.1.24. Due to leave harbour at 10.30am finally departed at 11.45am. In mid ocean the boats engines failed and we had to transfer to another ferry mid ocean! Very uncomfortable journey arriving 2 hours late!”
Travel from Ao Nang to Koh Phi Phi by air-conditioned Ao Nang Princess Ferry. Hotel pickup is included from several Krabi areas, with a short Railay Beach stop before arrival at Tonsai Pier. Choose a 200-baht VIP upgrade for reclining seats and snacks.
“Pickup from hotel was 45 minutes late as we were the last hotel stop. Ferry left on time. Paid 200 baht extra to be on the top deck. Worth it to take photos & enjoy the sun.”
Travel from Ao Nam Mao, Ao Nang, or Krabi Town to Phi Phi Don by ferry, with pickup to Klong Jilad Pier and a direct ride to Tonsai Pier. The trip takes about 90 minutes, includes a mobile ticket and onboard toilet, and offers several daily departures.
“On time and comfortable. Just felt the suitcases are not handled properly. They stack many of them even if it’s not a hard case suitcase.”
Take the Ao Nang Princess Ferry from Railay Beach to Koh Phi Phi Don in about two hours. High-season departures meet at Railay West, while low-season passengers use a longtail boat from Railay East to reach the ferry offshore. Air-conditioning, snacks, and a central Ton Sai Pier arrival make this a practical island transfer.
“A convenient option for getting from Railay Beach to Ko Phi Phi. The ferry was scheduled to arrive at 9:45 AM and showed up about 15–20 minutes late, but nothing major. Since the ferry can’t dock at Railay due to shallow water, a longRead more”
Travel from Krabi to Koh Tao on a shared transfer with hotel pickup, an air-conditioned minivan or coach, and a high-speed catamaran. The route takes about 7 to 12 hours, usually passing through Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Daily departures, mobile tickets, toilets, and basic insurance are included.
“L’expérience générale s’est bien passée et s’est déroulée tel que détaillé. La problématique vécue a été au niveau de la compagnie qui s’occupe de la prise en charge directement à l’hôtel. Une mauvaise heure de prise en charge nous avait étRead more”
Travel from Railay Beach to Phuket in about two hours on the Ao Nang Princess ferry. You will board by longtail boat, enjoy a direct sea crossing, then receive free transfer service to hotels in Phuket Town, Patong, Kata, Karon, or Chalong. Low passenger numbers may mean a speedboat instead.
“Great ferry ride. Good service with everyone cheerful and helpful. Clean and easy. Direct drop off to hotel was great.”
Travel from Railay West Beach to Koh Lanta on the Ao Nang Princess Ferry. Meet 30 minutes early, ride a longtail boat to the ferry, then cruise directly to Saladan Pier in about two hours. The service runs November through May and includes basic travel insurance.
“Comfortable ferry easy crossing. Had to get on longtail boat to get on the ferry. Loads of help with suitcases etc.”
Travel from Krabi to Koh Phangan in about 5 to 6 hours with hotel pickup, an air-conditioned minivan or coach, and ferry connections included. The route passes through Koh Samui before ending at Thong Sala Pier. Pack within the 20-kilogram luggage limit and confirm your pickup time by email.
“The bus part of the journey was very comfortable, the company also kindly picked us up from our hostel. However, the boat section of the journey was very poorly organised. Although it was advertised that we would be travelling on a catamaran boat, we were told to get oRead more”
Travel from your hotel in Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Tub Kaek, Klong Muang, or Ao Nam Mao to Ao Nang Pier, then ride a ferry to Tonsai Pier on Phi Phi Don. The trip takes about two hours and may stop at Railay to collect passengers.
“We had ordered hotel pick up. The voucher said «start time 10:30», nothing else. We then assumed that we were picked up at the hotel at 10:30, since nothing else was informed. The boat left at 10:30. They sent me a message on their own website the day before, but I did not Get any notification on email, phone or anywhere else. They refused to refund. Poor!”
Pick a boat, a paddle or a jungle road.
