‘Inide Man’ Survival Guide to Koh Phi Phi.
So, you’re coming to Koh Phi Phi. Nice choice. Oh FYI before we start, its pronounced Koh Pee Pee not Koh Fee fee. Unlike the English language PH does not make an F sound. In Thailand the H is silent, so be very careful when trying to pronounce Phuket near small children, religious figures or a swear jar.
It’s not what you know but who you know 😉 So you should think of this section as your own ‘inside man’ local guide to navigating all things Phi Phi. Whether you’re getting here, staying here or planning to leave here, our experiences, contacts and local connections WILL help you find the simplest, most economical and least stressful ways to make your ‘paradisey’ (that’s now a word) things happen.

BEFORE YOU BOARD THE BOAT RULES
When you are on the boat you’ll be tempted to sit outside on deck and enjoy the sunshine and sea view, you should do as it is glorious. However, I presume you’ll want to avoid looking like an unevenly cooked lobster sporting fifty different shades of pink once you arrive. To avoid ‘Ferryburn’ use ‘Sunblock’ people! Even on a cloudy day the breeze and UV’S on the ferry are deceptive, so don’t say you weren’t warned. If you do heed this warning you will be rewarded by that smug feeling that only comes when you spot the people on Phi Phi who didn’t know about the ferry sunburn. MAKE IT TIGHTER
GETTING OFF THE BOAT *see boarding the boat
Now you’re the first off the boat and not looking a funny pink colour you will pass by a reception desk where you will be charged 20 Baht island entrance fee, this goes to dealing with the 25 tonnes of garbage a day that Phi Phi generates. Once you’ve paid that you have to navigate the pier and escape the hectic hustle and bustle that happens every time a ferry comes in.
