Hi. Can I take my scooter on the ferries when visiting the different islands? And does that cost extra?
Im planning a backpacking trip next summer for 3 months to Thiland and I really want to visit Kho Phi Phi and it's good to know there is a Ferry. Anyone know of any other hidden gem islands/places?
Hi Remi,
There are countless examples of nice island in Thailand! Here are a few: Koh Yao islands Β· Koh Samui Β· Koh Tao Β· Koh Pha Ngan Β· Koh Lanta Β· Koh Lipe Β· Koh Chang! All are small little paradise destinations, in your trip however i would only visit like 2 or 3 as they are a bit the same.

Hi, is there any way of getting from mainland Europe (Spain) to Thailand by ferry?
Thanks π
Unfortunately, this is not possible and the options over land or by air are better.
It's hilarious that anyone is still calling phi phi a hidden gem
