Piers on this route
Departing Koh Phi Phi
Arriving Ao Nang
Our boats depart from Tonsai Pier — Koh Phi Phi's main hub — as well as from Laem Tong Beach on the island's north tip, giving you a departure point that suits where you're staying. On the Ao Nang side, most services arrive at Nopparat Thara Pier or directly at Ao Nang Beach, putting you within easy reach of the town strip and onward connections to Krabi.
What to expect on the crossing
The Andaman is typically calm and clear from November through April, and morning sailings in these months reward you with glassy water and good visibility. Outside of peak season, conditions can be choppier and some services reduce frequency — morning departures remain the most reliable choice year-round. The journey takes around 50 minutes on the faster services, though some schedules run longer depending on stops and vessel type.
Ao Nang is a well-connected base for exploring the Krabi coast. With multiple operators competing on this route, you'll find a spread of departure times from early morning through midday. Book your seat in advance during the high season to secure the crossing that fits your itinerary.
