Koh Lipe is considered to be one of Thailand’s dream island holiday destinations lying on the southern coast of the Andaman Sea.
Crystal clear sea water, soft white sands, and a laid-back island vibe are some of the highlights this stunning place offers to its visitors who congregate here from all corners of the world.
This three-day and two-night itinerary has been specially crafted to inspire you to make Koh Lipe your next vacation destination.
Getting there
Koh Lipe does not have an airport and can only be accessed by boat from the Pakbara Pier in mainland Trang from where regular speedboat services operate to Koh Lipe.
If you want to enjoy the sea view, then booking a ferry from Langkawi Island to Koh Lipe will be the best option. Not only the stunning views, but the ride is also convenient for the tourists.
The ferries are available almost every day of the week, and almost 4 ferries depart daily from Langkawi Island to Koh Lipe.
You might find a little rush in the peak seasons, but customer support can help you book your tickets in advance and you will only have to reach the port just before the departure. The price of the ferries ranges from $38 to $40.
There are also two airports close by that are connected to Bangkok, namely the Trang Airport and Hat Yai International Airport. Getting to Koh Lipe, and taking a flight to any of these airports is the most convenient way.
(Pro Tip: make a pit stop at Trang to try out the delicious Trang Moo Yang, or grilled pork at the famous ‘Ruean Thai Dim Sum’ restaurant. They say you have not been to Trang if you have not tried their signature pork dish).
Where to stay
Accommodation in Koh Lipe is a bit more expensive than in other parts of Thailand, but there are some comfortable and functional dorms in the middle of Walking Street.
If you are spending the night at Trang, check out the “Seesea Resort” located only 500 m away from the Pakbara Pier, and enjoy unparalleled views of the sea.
If you are looking for a laid-back vacation and indulge in comfort and luxury then the resorts are the best option. You can book Forra Dive Resort or the Z-Touch Lipe Island Resort.
