Do you have any tips for my flight to Ko Phi Phi?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your time in Ko Phi Phi. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ko Phi Phi?
The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ko Phi Phi in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.

Ko Phi Phi Don is home to the resorts, but there are no real roads and it’s not possible to hire vehicles, so be prepared to walk. To visit the other islands it is easy to charter a boat or join the organised day trips.


What Are the Must-sees in Ko Phi Phi?

The Beach, starring Leonardo di Caprio, was shot on Ko Phi Phi Lei in the late 1990s. You can visit the stunning island, which is Ko Phi Phi Don’s smaller neighbour, on a day trip or even camp here overnight.

Leave the party atmosphere of Ton Sai village behind and clamber up Phi Phi Viewpoint for stunning views of the island. The bush walk is short but strenuous and the rewards are worth it, and you can continue east to some of Ko Phi Phi Don’s quieter beaches.

One of the highlights of a cruise around Ko Phi Phi Don is a visit to Viking Cave, where swifts’ nests are harvested for birds’ nest soup.

Ko Phi Phi’s reputation as a party spot means that prices are not cheap, so be prepared to spend more than you would expect. Avoid staying on the main strip in Ton Sai village if you want a peaceful holiday. The parties in town can last into the early hours.
