How to get from Koh Phi Phi to Koh Ngai
Ferry from Koh Phi Phi to Koh Ngai
Traveling from Koh Phi Phi to Koh Ngai by sea takes around the scheduled journey time, with fares starting from ฿1,350 per person. The route is run by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club using a speed boat, which covers the open stretch of the Andaman Sea faster and more comfortably than the slower boats some other routes rely on. This page covers how the crossing works, what to expect on board, and where to check exact times before you book.
Transport options between Koh Phi Phi and Koh Ngai
Speedboat is the direct way to travel between Koh Phi Phi and Koh Ngai, and it is the only service that runs this pairing without a transfer. If a direct speedboat is not available on your travel date, an alternative is to route via Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta and pick up a connecting boat to Koh Ngai from there, or to travel through Krabi, which has more frequent onward links to the smaller islands off the Trang coast. These connections take longer than the direct crossing, so they are worth considering only if the direct boat is full or out of season.
Schedule, frequency and booking times
Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club operates 3 on this route during the all year round season. Because timings can shift slightly by day and by month, the exact departure time shown when you search this route is the one to go by rather than a fixed time listed here — always confirm the time at booking, since missing a speedboat on an island route usually means waiting for the next available departure rather than a quick rebooking.
Departure and arrival points
Boats depart from the main pier on Koh Phi Phi, where staff or signage will direct you to the correct counter for Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club ahead of departure. On arrival, the speedboat pulls in at Koh Ngai's pier, which sits close to the island's main resorts, so onward transfers to your accommodation are typically short. If you're arriving with heavy luggage, allow a little extra time at both ends, as some piers involve a short walk or a transfer by longtail boat to reach the beach.
On board and what's included
The speed boat used on this route includes onboard facilities, making the crossing manageable even when the sea is a little choppy. Life jackets are provided and it's worth keeping motion sickness tablets on hand if you're prone to seasickness, since the open-water sections between Phi Phi and the Trang islands can have some swell outside the calmest months.
Book your Koh Phi Phi to Koh Ngai ferry
Fares from ฿1,350 are shown with live availability for Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club's 3, so you can compare times and lock in your seat before the boat fills up. If you're planning the return leg, see the Koh Ngai to Koh Phi Phi ferry schedule and prices, and for other ways to reach this stretch of coast, check the Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta ferry route as a connecting option.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.
If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.
If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
