Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before arrival and carry a small tube to reapply; it protects coral and reduces irritation after long sun exposure.
Pack a dry bag
Keep phones, passports and spare clothes in a waterproof pouch—onboard spray and beach landings can soak loose items.
Wear water shoes
Beaches and reef entry points can be rocky; shoes protect feet and improve traction when scrambling on limestone ledges.
Manage seasickness proactively
The channel between Phuket and Phi Phi can be choppy—take antiemetics before departure if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and South Thailand’s coral reefs from harmful chemicals.
