Exploring the Beauty of Thailand: From Koh Yao Noi to Koh Phi Phi
Koh Yao Noi to Koh Phi Phi Speedboat
Travelling from Koh Yao Noi to Koh Phi Phi is a direct crossing of the Andaman Sea, linking a quiet, laid-back island with the dramatic limestone cliffs and beaches of Koh Phi Phi. This route is currently run as a speedboat service, which keeps the journey short and avoids a stopover in Phuket or Krabi.
Journey Duration and Price
The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, with fares starting from ฿1,100 per person. Fares can shift with fuel costs and season, so treat the price shown at checkout as the figure to confirm before you travel rather than a fixed rate.
Operator and Departures
Bundhaya Speed Boat and Koh Yao Sun Smile operates this route, with 5 running during all year round. Only one company currently serves this crossing, so there is no operator-to-operator comparison to make here; instead, the departure board on this page always reflects the live timetable, so check it directly when you plan your dates.
Departure and Arrival Points
Boats leave from the pier on Koh Yao Noi and dock at Koh Phi Phi's main pier, within walking distance of Tonsai village, its restaurants and shops, and the longtail boats that continue on to Maya Bay and other beaches. On board, the speed boat typically offers onboard facilities to make the open-sea crossing more comfortable.
Luggage and What to Pack
Each passenger is allowed one piece of baggage that must not weigh more than 20kg. Keep valuables, medication and a change of clothes in a smaller bag you carry with you, since sea spray is common on open-deck speedboats. Sun protection and motion-sickness tablets are worth packing too, as the sea can be choppier at the edges of the season.
Booking Your Speedboat Ticket
Seats on this route sell out during peak travel weeks, particularly around midday departures, so booking ahead is the most reliable way to secure the sailing time you want rather than being left with a later option. Reserve your speed boat ticket online, choose your preferred departure from the schedule shown on this page, and arrive at the pier with printed or mobile confirmation ready for check-in.
If you are travelling in the other direction, the Koh Phi Phi to Koh Yao Noi ferry schedule covers the same crossing with return timings. Coming from the neighbouring island instead, see the Koh Yao Yai to Koh Phi Phi speedboat route for its own schedule and pricing. For more on where to stay and what to do at each end of the crossing, the Koh Yao Noi travel guide and Koh Phi Phi travel guide cover both islands in more detail.
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.
