Koh Panyee Entry Fee and What You Pay

Koh Panyee has no ticket of its own. We found no entrance fee for the village on the pages of the Department of National Parks or the province. What you pay is the national park fee, because the village lies inside Ao Phang-nga National Park, and the price of whatever brings you there. The park charges a foreign adult 300 baht and a child 150 (rates in force since 7 June 2022, checked November 2026). Go Adventures (Thailand)’s Phuket: 7 Wonders of Phang Nga Bay 6-Island Tour, from US$81 on promotion, usually US$135 a person (checked November 2026), has the fee in the price; so do several others, while some cheaper days leave it for you to pay in cash.

Its one option cost US$80.79 a person on both dates we read, 26 November 2026 and 20 January 2027, with lunch on Ko Panyi and the fee included.

The park fee, and where you pay it

Ao Phang-nga sits in group three of the national parks department’s fee table, with Doi Inthanon and Than Bok Khorani; Thai visitors pay 60 baht. Keep the receipt once you have paid, because the park may check it. Since October 2025, the Tourism Authority of Thailand says, the bay’s park has sold electronic tickets, one of six marine parks to do so, so bring your passport.

On a tour that includes the fee, the operator buys it for you. On one that does not, you pay the guide or the pier office in cash; on Thrilling Thai Tours' longtail day the 300 baht is “paid in cash on the spot”. If you hire a boat at Tha Dan instead, the village is still inside the park: ask about the fee at the park office, which is at Ban Tha Dan.

What each day costs

The price for one adult, for the option and date shown, from GetYourGuide (checked November 2026).

The cheapest line is not the cheapest day. Thrilling Thai Tours' US$46.40 was on promotion for that date, and you still add 300 baht for the park and, from most hotels outside Patong, Kata and Karon, 200 baht a person for the pickup. Of The Thai Tourism Company’s two programs, only the speedboat one lists lunch on Ko Panyi, and its fee is paid at the pier on top. Bigcountry Andaman’s half day is the lowest all-in figure here, but it starts in Khao Lak and has no lunch.

Prices, ratings and review counts from the listings (GetYourGuide checked November 2026). Operators price by date and season, so treat the figures as the shape of the market, not a quote.

Money in the village

Lunch is in the price of most of these days, and the buffets on them have halal food. What is not included is anything you buy on the walkways: snacks, drinks and souvenirs at the house-front shops, paid in baht. A reviewer of Bigcountry Andaman's half day in January 2026 was led through the village too fast to buy anything; on the longer stops there is time. Discover Thailand's private day leaves the park fee out but pays the fees for the Samet Nangshe viewpoint and the cave temple.

The sea in November

The park’s own page expects calm water through the northeast monsoon, December to March, and warns that November can still bring mild to moderate and sometimes heavy waves. The operators may change the day for weather, and you can cancel any GetYourGuide day on this page at no charge until 24 hours ahead.
