Koh Panyee Stop Times by Tour Type
From 40 minutes to 2 hours: how long the speedboat, big-boat, longtail, Khao Lak and private days give Koh Panyee, what happens in that time, and which to book (November 2026).
How long you get on Koh Panyee depends far more on the kind of day than on the price. Across the tours on this site the stop runs from 40 minutes to 2 hours. The shared speedboat and longtail days from Phuket mostly give it an hour to an hour and a half, the big-boat days mostly eat on board instead, and here only the private boats give it two hours. For a shared day, 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), gives you an hour and a half for lunch, a walk and the shops.
The stop, day by day
From each tour’s itinerary on GetYourGuide, checked November 2026. Boats change the order and the length of stops for the weather and the tide.
One thing the table does not show: The Thai Tourism Company sells two programs, and only its speedboat one lists lunch on Ko Panyi. The big boat serves its buffet on board.
What happens in an hour and a half
On Go Adventures (Thailand)’s day the buffet has Thai, Western, vegetarian and halal dishes, and the rest of the stop is yours to walk the boardwalks. A July 2026 reviewer of that day suggested looking for the floating football pitch; another reviewer that month had only one complaint about the whole day, the food at the lunch stop. The Thai Tourism Company’s 45 minutes is a meal and little more: one of its October reviewers would have spent less time there, and another found the buffet poor.
