The companies that organize excursions are not all the same. Despite the brochure showing a similar price, when you negotiate, the price is halved with low-cost operators, while it remains unchanged with the more prestigious ones, provided the agency or booth you ask has them. On Phi Phi, James Bond and Raya there’s a wide choice, with low-cost companies, mid-level and the more premium ones. For example, there are excursions to Phi Phi that cost 1,700 baht, and going up: 2,000, 2,500, up to 3,900. They are not the same, the itinerary changes, departure time, service, guides, insurance coverage, safety conditions, speedboat conditions, etc.
