Phi Phi festivals
Many Thais travel during festivals and holidays, so boats can be crowded and flights, especially from Bangkok, fully booked. Below are some of the more important festival dates to check with before making your travel plans.
January - New Year
Busy until around 6th January when it calms down!
February - Chinese New Year
Varies with the calendar - around the 2nd full moon. Ferries are busy.
April 13/14/15
Songkran Festival or Thai New Year. This is the water festival when many Thais return to their home. Don't expect to travel easily around this time as buses, flights and ferries are very busy. This is a major holiday in Thailand.
November
Loy Kratong around the 12th. A beautiful festival where floating kratongs (literally "leaf cup" with lighted candles are placed on water to take away bad luck. Not too many people travelling at this time of year.
December - Christmas
High season. Expect full flights, buses and busy boats.
