Samui is in the Gulf of Thailand, near the east coast whereas Phi Phi is in the Andaman Sea, near the west coast. Due to that fact, I would say the best option is to fly from Samui to Phuket and from there you can catch a boat to Phi Phi. The other option is to boat from Samui to Surat Thani, then take the bus to Phuket, then another boat to Phi Phi. Good luck! -------------------- Local Travel Expert for Switzerland Read about my life abroad
