Khao Phing Kan Park Fee and Tour Prices
The Ao Phang-nga National Park fee is 300 baht for a foreign adult. Which Phang Nga Bay tours include it, what the options cost on the dates we read, and the extras paid in cash (November 2026).
The national park fee at Khao Phing Kan is 300 baht for a foreign adult and 150 baht for a child, the Department of National Parks’ rate for Ao Phang-nga National Park since 7 June 2022 (checked November 2026). Some tours put it in the price; most of the cheaper ones leave it for you to pay at the pier. Of the Phuket full days whose options we read, the lowest price was on The Thai Tourism Company’s James Bond, Phang Nga Bay and Hong Island Tour from Phuket: the booking box says from US$47 on promotion, usually US$49 a person (checked November 2026), and on 26 November 2026, 20 January and 24 March 2027 the big boat cost US$49.37 and the speedboat US$58.35, plus the fee.
On 26 November two adults paid exactly twice the one-adult price. Free cancellation until 24 hours before.
The park fee
The fee belongs to the national park, not the tour. The Department of National Parks puts Ao Phang-nga in its third price group, with Doi Inthanon and Than Bok Khorani: 300 baht a foreign adult, 150 baht a foreign child. The Tourism Authority of Thailand says Phang Nga Bay is one of six marine parks that have used electronic tickets since October 2025 and asks visitors to have their passport ready. The park asks you to keep the receipt for inspection once you have paid.
Where a tour leaves the fee out, you pay it in cash at the pier or to the guide at check-in. A tour that “includes” it has simply added it to the price.

The booking boxes do not always show a price you can book. The Thai Tourism Company’s box said from US$47 on promotion, usually US$49, checked November 2026, Oh-Hoo's US$45 on promotion, usually US$55 and BJ Canoeing Tour's US$57 on promotion, usually US$90, and no adult option on the dates we read cost those amounts. BJ Canoeing Tour has a child rate for ages 4 to 10, and its price changes with your pickup area. Go Adventures’ and the Khao Lak days’ boxes matched their one option.
The cash extras
On The Thai Tourism Company’s day, beyond the park fee:
- Pickup surcharges. 100 baht a person from Sirey Bay, Laem Hin, Yamu and the Paresa and Tantawan part of Kamala; 300 baht a person from the Cape Panwa area. Paid to the driver in cash. A 24 October reviewer who paid the 300-baht surcharge thought it unfair for about ten minutes of extra driving.
- Private transfer only from Mai Khao, Nai Thon, Layan, Baan Don and Nai Yang.
- Luggage, 100 baht a bag.
- Tips and drinks ashore. The market at Ko Panyi and the beach bar at the last stop take cash only (8 November review).
A 5 November reviewer counted 1,200 baht for two people in extras that the booking had not prepared them for: two park fees are 600 baht of that.

Add the 300-baht fee to The Thai Tourism Company’s big boat and it still costs less than either fee-included day. The fee-included days buy convenience and, on Go Adventures’, more islands.
