How it works
Agencies and street vendors near Krabi Town Night Market and along Maharaj Road sell combination bus-ferry tickets to Ko Phi Phi at prices appearing competitive with the official service. In practice these tickets are for non-existent or severely delayed departures, or the ferry portion is replaced with a slower and less comfortable boat. Some operators collect payment and provide no ticket at all, disappearing before the departure time.
