Ao Nang to Phuket: Green Planet Speed Boat via Koh Yao (2025)

Thinking of heading from Ao Nang over to Phuket sometime in 2025? Going by Green Planet Speed Boat through the Koh Yao Islands could be just the ticket! So, a quick, scenic scoot across the Andaman Sea with a dose of island charm. Let’s have a peep at what that might be like, shall we?

What to Expect on Board the Green Planet Speed Boat

First, when you’re hopping onto the Green Planet Speed Boat, understand that it’s, in some respects, not just transport; it’s like the beginning of an exploration! I mean, these boats usually provide both indoor, and, too it’s almost, outdoor seating. That is that you might get a chance to soak up the sun and the sea air or stick inside if you would rather stay cool.

Most trips also factor in comfort. You know, like providing life jackets, and there might be basic refreshments available – sometimes, actually, it’s just water, but sometimes it’s light snacks as well. Now, the boats themselves tend to be decently speedy, so, arguably, the whole trip is typically quicker than going by road, with views that are a million times better!

The Scenic Route via Koh Yao Islands

The Green Planet Speed Boat going through the Koh Yao Islands? Yeah, that’s the drawcard there! It is often such that you will get to see Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi; these islands have a feel, sort of, to them. This includes places less frantic than Phuket, yet more traditionally Thai. As a matter of fact, think about beaches that feel almost secret and waters just perfect for a dip!

Now, sometimes the tour lets you off for a quick visit to one of these islands, yet just to manage expectations, it isn’t usually for very long. It is, arguably, just enough time to stretch your legs and snap a bunch of pictures. Keep an eye out for tours which specify a proper stop, and, very, bring your swimsuit!

Why Choose a Speed Boat Over Other Options?

Why, in some respects, go for a speed boat rather than a standard ferry, like your car ferry? Speed boats are, typically, so much quicker, you know? As I was saying, this means way less travel time, more sunbathing-on-a-beach time, yeah?

The size of the boat matters too. Basically, these boats can be a little bouncy if the sea is what I mean, less than calm. Even though the route is usually carefully chosen to avoid rougher areas, people sensitive to motion, I mean like, might need to prepare something. Then, you know, ferries are bigger, usually more steady, but definitely much slower.

Booking and What to Consider for 2025

Looking ahead to 2025, it might be, seemingly, smart to book your Green Planet Speed Boat in advance. Actually, the popular routes – especially during high season – tend to book up, I mean kind of, quick.

When you’re comparing options, make sure that you check things such as departure times (to, literally, fit your plan, you know), the kind of stops that are included, as well as, very, the luggage allowance (as there might be, as a matter of fact, size and weight restrictions). Also, for instance, have a read over reviews to get an idea of what other people had to say about their trip. Very useful, honest!

One last little tip: Do make sure that your travel insurance covers any boat trips, just for peace of mind! It is almost always better, just, to be a tiny bit more safe rather than end up stuck! Alright?

Alright, so that covers your scoot from Ao Nang over to Phuket by Green Planet Speed Boat, swinging by the Koh Yao Islands on the way! It is almost a splendid mix of speedy travel, that dose of sightseeing, with just, actually, the taste of island life.
