Departing Krabi
Arriving Koh Lipe
Koh Lipe sits near the Malaysian border at the far southern tip of the Andaman coast — there is no direct ferry from Krabi, so the journey combines a road leg with the final ferry crossing to the island. We run this as a through-ticket service, handling the handoff between road and sea, so you don't need to arrange separate connections.
Getting to and from the piers
Pickups are available from several Krabi departure points including Ao Nang Pier, Krabi Town, Klong Jilad Pier, and Krabi Airport — useful if you're arriving on a morning flight and heading straight south. On Koh Lipe, all services land at Beach Jetty, the island's only arrival point, steps from the sand and the main walking street.
Most departures leave in the early morning — from around 06:40 onwards — so the bulk of the journey is done before the afternoon heat. Fares start from THB 999. Koh Lipe is at its best from November through April, when seas are flat, visibility is excellent for diving, and the beach bars are in full swing.
