Let’s find out more useful information about Koh Phi Phi with Hanoi Voyages to plan the most perfect trip!
What is the best things to do in Koh Phi Phi?
Koh Phi Phi offers endless ways to enjoy the islands - from island-hopping, snorkeling, and diving to hiking the Phi Phi Viewpoint, kayaking hidden lagoons, and relaxing on stunning beaches like Maya Bay.
Hike to the Koh Phi Phi viewpoint
Phi Phi ViewPoint on Koh Phi Phi Don is located on the east side of the flat sand and overlooks the village and two bays. View Point has a height of 186m, so from ViewPoint looking down you will see the beauty of the entire landscape of this pearl island.
The beauty is even more prominent before 10 am because the sun will be behind you and highlight the clear blue sea. If you are lucky enough you can see a rainbow over Totto Village or time it to watch the sun go down. This is one of the best places you should do when you visit Koh Phi Phi.
Explore the iconic Maya Bay
 |  |
Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi Leh is the island’s crown jewel, framed by towering limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and powdery white sand. After a period of closure for ecological restoration, it has reopened with sustainable tourism rules in place, allowing visitors to enjoy its beauty responsibly.
Things to do in Koh Phi Phi at Maya Bay:
Admire the breathtaking scenery from designated viewing areas
Stroll along the pristine white-sand beach
Take a boat tour around the bay and nearby spots
Capture stunning photos of the dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters
Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds
Indulge in the nightlife
In contrast to the serene atmosphere during the day, the evenings here are also highly hectic. Full-on partying til the sun comes up is the norm in Koh Phi Phi, making the Koh Phi Phi nightlife famous as a non-stop, year-round event. Every day is a party day on Koh Phi Phi. Jordan’s Irish Pub or Indie Sports Bar are wonderful places to grab a casual alcoholic beverage and watch a sporting event.
On the other hand, Stockholm Syndrome is a noisy, colorful nightclub that is great for dancing. Especially, bars near the beach often have a special fire dance performance by handsome local guys. I believe that will make you feel very excited.
Slinky beach party
This is a real entertainment place for those who like to gather at night. The later it gets, the noisier and more bustling this place becomes as it attracts the participation of a large number of tourists. Along the routes, you can enjoy alcohol, eat seafood and watch fire dance performances from the locals. Most of the time, when they talk about their trip, they all remember because it was an unforgettable night out.
Go snorkeling in Koh Phi Phi
When you visit Koh Phi Phi, you cannot miss the experience of diving to explore the nature of the ocean floor with two forms of snorkeling or scuba diving. Exploring the ocean, playing with sharks, watching colorful coral reefs… these are all memorable experiences that you must try when you visit Koh Phi Phi.
If you haven’t tried it before, don’t worry because there are many professional scuba diving centers here, so they are fully prepared with quality equipment and can ensure your safety during the process.
Take a Thai cooking class
If you are passionate about Thai food and want to prepare some Thai food at home after your holiday in Thailand, taking a class is the ideal way to master all the methods and hidden ingredients of Thai cuisine. Learn how to prepare Thai food. Thai culinary school is one of the most well-known organizations, both as a restaurant and a school.
Thai cooking School, located in the heart of Totto Village, offers a variety of cooking classes ranging from 30-minute lessons (one or two recipes) to three hours (including three recipes, learning about the essential herbs, vegetables, and sauces used in Thai cuisine, and enjoying the meal you’ve just prepared). Lessons can be chosen to match your schedule.
Embark on a Thailand journey where Koh Phi Phi awaits with crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs, world-class snorkeling, and unforgettable nightlife — an all-in-one paradise for every traveler.

How to get to Koh Phi Phi
If you’re planning a trip, knowing how to get to Koh Phi Phi and how to get around the island will make your journey smoother. This Koh Phi Phi travel guide covers everything you need to know about transportation to and on the island.
Getting to Koh Phi Phi
Fly to Phuket or Krabi
Koh Phi Phi doesn’t have its own airport, so you’ll need to fly into either Phuket International Airport (HKT) or Krabi International Airport (KBV). Both airports have a wide range of domestic and international flights, making them convenient entry points.
Take a ferry from Phuket or Krabi
After landing, the most common way to reach Koh Phi Phi is by ferry:
From Phuket: Ferries depart from Rassada Pier (Phuket Town) or Bang Rong Pier. The ride takes about 1.5–2 hours. Tickets can be purchased online or at the pier.
From Krabi: Ferries leave from Ao Nang Pier or Klong Jilad Pier, taking around 1.5 hours. This route is usually a bit cheaper but has fewer departures.
Speedboat option
For a quicker trip, speedboats from Phuket or Krabi take only 45 minutes to 1 hour. Though more expensive, they’re a great option if you want to save time.
Getting around Koh Phi Phi
Walk everywhere
On Koh Phi Phi Don, the main island, most beaches, shops, and restaurants are within walking distance. Walking is the most convenient way to explore and enjoy the relaxed island vibe.
Rent a bicycle or motorbike
If you’d like to venture further, you can rent a bicycle for a leisurely ride or a motorbike for more speed and flexibility. Motorbike rentals typically cost 200–300 THB per day.
Boat tours and private longtail boats
To discover secluded beaches, hidden lagoons, or nearby islands like Koh Phi Phi Leh (home of Maya Bay), consider joining a boat tour or renting a private longtail boat. Options range from half-day to full-day trips, catering to different budgets.
