How To Get There

This page will help you find flights to Thailand and will give you information on the ferry cost and departure times to get to the island. This information will be in US dollars. The majority of the information is geared for Americans, but by no means does that mean my brothers and sisters from other parts of the world are not invited. I myself live in America and so my information is based solely on my experience traveling from here to Thailand. I hope this flash mob attracts people from all across the globe!

Flying to Thailand:

I found a wonderful website called Travelot.com. This is a massive search engine that checks all available flight information and gives you the best prices. It is very easy to use!

www.travelot.com

As of May 8th here are some of the lowest fares found on travelot.com from that departure city to Bangkok:

Los Angeles: $1112
Dallas: $1027
Chicago: $945
Atlanta: $1011
New York City: $953

To arrive on the island on October 17th. my American friends will need to book flights that leave on the 15th. No matter where you fly out of in the States you will arrive in Bangkok the following day (October 16th). Most flights tend to arrive very late on Sundays and will require that you stay overnight in Bangkok Sunday night. You will need to arrange another flight to either Phuket or Krabi (I recommend Krabi) for Monday.

Departing from the the Island, you will need to make your return flight from Phuket or Krabi on Saturday the 22nd. This will also require another overnight stay in Bangkok as most flights to the US leave very early in the morning on Sunday (October 23rd) and arrive in the states very late in the evening that same day.

Boat Travel to the Island:

Once you arrive at either Krabi or Phuket airports you will need to take a taxi(4.00 to 12.00 US) to the pier. There you will catch a ferry(5.00 to 7.00 US) to Koh Phi Phi. Please check for a current time schedule at: Phi Phi Ferry
