Gettting To Koh Lipe : Koh Lipe Hotels in Krabi, Thailand
Recommended Hotels in Koh Lipe

From Bangkok and the North

Depending on your time, budget and ecological considerations the best way from Bangkok is to take a train or plane to Hat Yai. Overnight sleeper trains leave Bangkok's Hua Lamphong Train Station between 17.00h and 20.00h, arriving in Hat Yai in the morning, in time to make it to Koh Lipe on the same day. A few cheap airlines fly from Bangkok to Hat Yai these days, Air Asia alone has 5 flights a day, if you take the earliest one you can also make it to Koh Lipe on the same day.

From Hat Yai

There is now a new central minibus station to all destinations, located about 2 kilometers outside Hat Yai city center. Minibuses to Pak Barra leave every hour and take around 2 hours (price: around 150 BHT). The best way to get to the minibus station is by Tuk Tuk - expect to pay around 40 - 50 BHT for this service.

If you have a lot of stuff or you're in a hurry you can take a private taxi to Pak Barra for anything between 1000 and 2000 BHT, prices at the airport tend to be even higher, so if you have the time, take a minibus.

From Southern Thailand

In high season there are daily ferry connections from Koh Lanta (2 ferries) and Trang (1 ferry). These pass by Koh Ngai, Koh Muk and Koh Bulon along the way, so daily travel between these locations and Koh Lipe is also possible.

From Malaysia

The best way to get to Koh Lipe from Malaysia is to make it to Langkawi island. Daily ferries connect Telaga Harbor with Koh Lipe. Alternatively you can travel from Kuala Lumpur to Hat Yai by bus, train or plane.

There are 3 main beaches on Koh Lipe

Pattaya Beach is the main beach and extends to the south of Li-pe Island. It is bay-shaped and flanked by green verdant hills to both sides making it the most picturesque beach of Koh Lipe. Like some other beaches in the Andaman Sea of Thailand that are located far away from the mainland, Pataya Beach has very soft and powdery white sand. It is perfect for swimming and snorkelling and here, most of the bungalows and restaurants are located.

Karma Beach is the most northern part of Sunlight beach and faces Koh Adang. There is a secluded peninsula of white sand jutting out into the crystal clear blue sea. Longtail boats for trips to neighbouring islands can be rented here.

Koh Leepae's Sunset Beach is the most secluded one and great for swimming and snorkelling from the beach. You can see the sun set between the other islands of the marine park. Another place to enjoy snorkelling is around the 2 tiny islands just off Sunlight Beach, where you will need a longtail boat to go out there.
