Koh Phi Phi Tour Pier

4.5(652 reviews)

Situated in Ao Nang within Mueang Krabi District, this working tour pier serves as the primary embarkation point for travellers heading to the Phi Phi Islands. It connects visitors to both Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh, where activities such as swimming, snorkelling, and beach exploration are the main draw. The pier's location within Ao Nang makes it straightforward to reach, with accommodation and dining options available nearby. Visitors can expect a busy, functional environment with multiple tour operators and boat options on offer. The atmosphere is practical rather than scenic, with the focus squarely on logistics and getting passengers organised for departure. A range of trip formats is typically available, from half-day excursions to longer overnight packages, catering to different schedules and budgets. Good to know: The pier operates daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Early morning departures are advisable to make the most of island time before crowds build. During peak season, which runs roughly from November through February, booking tours in advance is strongly recommended to secure preferred departure times. Travellers should plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before their scheduled boat, bring sun protection, and consider water shoes for the shallow pier area and island landings.

Tips for Visiting Transportation

Take the Sleeper Train at Least Once

The Bangkok-to-Chiang Mai overnight train in a second-class sleeper berth is a bucket-list experience. Book at least a week ahead via 12Go.asia or at Hua Lamphong station. Upper berths are cheaper and have more headroom; lower berths have a window.

Use Grab Everywhere

Grab is the Uber of Southeast Asia and works across Thailand for cars, motorbike taxis, and even tuk-tuks in some cities. It eliminates haggling and provides fare estimates upfront. Load a Thai SIM or use eSIM to stay connected.

Rent Scooters Carefully

Always photograph the scooter's existing damage before riding off, and keep your passport — give a photocopy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; police fine 500 THB for no helmet and accidents without one void insurance.
