According to Pattaya City, in the cool season, from mid-October to mid-February, a cool wind blows and the waves are moderate. In summer, from mid-February to mid-May, the wind and waves are strong mainly in the afternoon and evening. In the rainy season, from mid-May to mid-October, there is a lot of rain, and the wind and waves are strong. Anyone who feels uneasy on waves will prefer the cool season, and in summer the morning hours.

• According to Pattaya City, boats to Ko Phai leave from Bali Hai Pier, the port of South Pattaya, and from South Pattaya Beach.
• The distance from the city to Ko Phai and the islands around it is about 9.5 km.

At Ko Larn, Ko Krok and Ko Sak the DMCR has instructed people not to feed fish, not to trample coral, and to tie boats to mooring buoys instead of dropping anchor. It is worth following the same rules on any reef.

In summer 2024 the DMCR instructed organisers of sea activities to ask tourists about their health before every activity. It is worth expecting such a question and answering honestly, especially in the case of a heart condition or high blood pressure.

According to the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR), a government body, Ko Phai is among the main snorkelling and diving sites on the coral reefs of eastern Thailand, together with Ko Larn, Ko Krok and Ko Sak. All four islands lie within the city of Pattaya, in Bang Lamung district, Chonburi.
