The
ferry is the best and most cost effective way to travel from Phuket to Phi Phi.
The ferry will take you on a two hours journey through some of the most scenic
parts of the ocean before arriving at the enchanting Phi Phi islands. The ferry between Phi Phi and Phuket operate
all year round giving you a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful holiday
paradise any day of the year.
In
Phuket, you can take your ferry at the Rassada Pier and head directly for the
Tonsai Pier in Phi Phi or you may opt to take a ferry at the Sea Angel Pier in
Phuket and head to the Laem Thong Pier in Phi Phi. There are also larger and comfortable ferries
from the Nopparat Thara Pier in Krabi and Saladan Pier in Koh Lanta that pass
by Phuket on their way to the Phi Phi.
The
best time to travel the Andaman Sea is during the tourism high season months of
October to April. During this time the weather is great for tourism with long
sunny days perfect for beach relaxation and deep sea diving. You get a chance
to take in the beautiful view of the islands as you travel by Andaman Ferry Service to Phi Phi from Phuket. In addition, you may get a chance to visit a
number of great small islands and enjoy both the local culture and great meals.
With the increased number of visitors during this period, there are lots of
ferries around the islands and you can get around quite easily. This is also
the period packed with festivals, tourism drives and other activities for
tourists. If you want to enjoy your stay and have a great time enjoying tourism
activities and a great vacation then this is the time to visit Phi Phi.
For
great deals, the best time to travel to Phi Phi is during the low season months
of May to October. During this time the number of travelers in the Andaman Sea
is greatly reduced and you can get great deals on the ferry, accommodation on
both the Phuket and Phi Phi and admittance to several tourist attractions on
all the nearby islands. During this time ferry cost is reduced considerably and
the hotels are at their cheapest. It is important to remember that the weather
might not be as great during this time as it is the rain season in the area and
you may not have lots of time relaxing on the beach or enjoying water sports
such as snorkeling.
If you are keen to enjoy the great deals as well
as great weather, then you should consider traveling during late April or early
October. During this time the number of visitors is still low but the weather
is great as the rains are either still not in full swing or they may have
subsided. If you love taking photos, early October is the best time to travel
as you can get lots of amazing photos of the islands especially their white
sandy beaches with a green background before the hot sun destroys the beautiful
vegetation. During this time the sun is
not so hot giving you a great atmosphere to travel via a ferry.
