Getting There
-
Boat
To reach Ko Khai from Phuket, you will first need to get to the Ao Por Pier. From various locations in Phuket, you can take a local bus or a tuk-tuk to the pier. If you are near Patong Beach, you can take a tuk-tuk or taxi to Ao Por Pier, which is approximately 30-40 minutes away. Once at Ao Por Pier, look for the boat operators offering trips to Ko Khai. There are typically several boats leaving throughout the day. Ensure you check the schedule and book your tickets in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons.
-
Long-tail Boat
Alternatively, you can take a long-tail boat from nearby beaches such as Bang Tao Beach or Surin Beach, which also provide access to Ko Khai. If you are at Bang Tao Beach, hire a long-tail boat from the beach area. The ride will take approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on the sea conditions. Make sure to negotiate the price before boarding and confirm that the destination is Ko Khai.
-
Tour Package
Another convenient option is to book a tour package that includes transportation from your hotel in Phuket to Ko Khai. Many tour operators offer day trips that include round-trip boat transfers, lunch, and sometimes activities like snorkeling. You can find these packages online or at travel agencies in popular tourist areas like Patong or Kata. Be sure to inquire about all inclusions and the schedule.
