Phi Phi Island Holidays 2025/2026

Phi Phi Island is considered moderately priced with average daily costs of around £68 per person. Accommodation ranges from budget hostels (£15-20/night) to luxury resorts (£200+/night). Ferry tickets cost between £10-15 one way. Activities like snorkelling tours range from £30-75 per person. While more expensive than mainland Thailand you can still visit on a budget by choosing off-peak seasons (May-October) and budget accommodations.

To reach Phi Phi Island from the UK fly to either Phuket or Krabi International Airport (multiple airlines offer routes with one stopover). Then take a minibus/taxi to the ferry pier (Rassada Pier in Phuket or Klong Jilad Pier in Krabi). And finally catch a ferry to Phi Phi Island (2 hours from Phuket or 90 minutes from Krabi). Alternatively, book an all-inclusive package through Away Holidays that includes flights, transfers and accommodation.

Ko Phi Phi is an archipelago located in the Andaman Sea, situated just 45km southeast of Phuket and is part of Krabi Province, Thailand!

Yes, Phi Phi Island is worth visiting for these 6 reasons:

• Stunning natural beauty with limestone cliffs and crystal-clear waters
• World-class snorkelling and diving opportunities
• Famous Maya Bay (from "The Beach" movie)
• Beautiful white sand beaches
• Rich marine life and coral reefs
• Vibrant nightlife and restaurant scene However, visit during shoulder season (March-April) to avoid peak crowds and get better prices.

We recommend staying 2-3 days on Phi Phi Island to fully experience its attractions. This allows enough time to explore Maya Bay, go snorkelling, hike to viewpoints, and enjoy the beaches without rushing. If you're interested in diving or want a more relaxed pace, consider extending to 4-5 days. Day trips are possible but limit your experience of the island's full charm and natural beauty.

While not the cheapest Thai destination, Phi Phi Island offers options for all budgets. Budget travellers can find hostels from £15-20 per night and local meals for £3-5. Mid-range hotels cost £50-100 per night, while luxury resorts start from £200. Activities like snorkelling tours range from £30-75. Save money by visiting during off-peak season (May-October), booking accommodation in advance, and eating at local restaurants away from the main tourist areas.

The best time to visit Phi Phi Island is between November and March when you'll experience optimal weather conditions with clear skies, calm seas, and temperatures around 28°C. This period offers:

• Perfect conditions for swimming and snorkelling
• Minimal rainfall and maximum sunshine
• Best underwater visibility for diving (especially February)
• Comfortable temperatures for outdoor activities
