FAQs on Day Trips from Krabi

What is the best day trip from Krabi?

The four-island tour or Hong Island, both by longtail or speedboat from Ao Nang. Hong is the quieter of the two and has a lagoon you can swim into. Phi Phi is the famous one and the most crowded.

How far is Phi Phi from Krabi?

About forty-five minutes by speedboat or ninety by ferry from Klong Jilad pier. It works as a day trip, though the beaches are busiest between eleven and three when the tours overlap.

What can I do if the sea is rough?

The inland trips. The Emerald Pool and the Klong Thom hot springs are about an hour east and run whatever the weather, and Tiger Cave Temple is twenty minutes from town if you are up for the 1,200 steps.

Is Maya Bay open?

It reopened after a long closure, with limits on numbers and no swimming from the beach itself. Boats moor at the back of the island and you walk through, so treat it as a stop on a Phi Phi trip rather than a beach day.

Which beaches are reachable without a boat?

Ao Nang, Nopparat Thara, Klong Muang and Tub Kaek are all on the mainland within half an hour of Krabi town. Railay is not: it is cut off by cliffs and needs a ten-minute longtail from Ao Nang.
