Krabi to lipa. How to get to lipe

Lipe Island (Koh Lipe) in Satun Province, in Thailand is perhaps the most pleasant place for connoisseurs of a leisure and peaceful beach holiday. Excellent and clean beaches, beautiful diving and snorkeling, and at the same time sufficient distance from the main packet-tourist flows - these are the main chips of the island to lip.

A good idea to "stick" on Lipa is to combine useful with pleasant - go, and then arrange a long-term beach relax.

When it is better to go to the lip

The best weather on Lipe from December to March. Nevertheless, you can come here from October 20. The season from October 20 to November 16 and from April 1 to May 16 is considered low. At this time, the lowest prices, but they may rain, and the sea is restless.
It should be borne in mind that the island of small and housing is not enough, so hotels in December, January, it is necessary to book in advance (for 6 or more months).

How to get to the lime yourself

You can get to the island of Lipe from Phuket, Pi-Pi, Lanta, Langkavi Islands, etc. - depends on where you are coming from. From Bangkok, first you need to get to the nearest pier, and then swim on the sea on the lipa.

There are no airports on Lipa, it is possible to get there only by sea, besides, not any month. Navigation in this area begins on October 19 and ends on May 16th.

If you are flying from Europe, then the route will be approximately as follows: Flight to Bangkok - Flight to Hat Ya - Bus to Pier - Ferry or Boat on Lype. In fact, everything is much easier than it seems.

The easiest option is to buy a single ticket on the site from Bangkok immediately with the transfer to the lipa. Then you just board the plane in Bangkok, and then you will be accompanied everywhere, until the island.

Important! Note that in Bangkok Airasia aircraft fly from Don Muang Airport (this is not the airport in which you fly from Russia, Ukraine or Europe). Before that airport is still necessary. Therefore, in 1 day to get from Europe to the lipo will be too tiring. It is better to at least spend the night in Bangkok.

It looks like buying a ticket to Ko Lype like this: in the "Where" are looking for "Thailand (Island Transfer)" and choose "LIPE".

You first rent to Hat Yaya, then you will be taken to the port and will rise to the ferry to the lime. The whole road will take from 6 to 9 hours. On the way you will be accompanied by the company's employees. Everything is simple, clearly and understandable.

How to get to lipe yourself, without a shuttle

Most tourists travel to Lype or ferry from the Malay Island of Langkawi, or from Thailand, using comprehensive bus-ferry tickets that sell in any tourist agencies throughout Thailand. To determine from which places it is better to reach to the lime, see map:

I'll tell you more:

How to get from Penang (Malaysia) to Ko Lipe
1. First on the ferry to Langkawi, the price of 70RM, go for 3 hours.
2. Then transfer from Langkawi to the ferry to the lime, the price is 118RM, drive 1.5 hours. On Langkawi, it is better to travel from the berth of Telaga.
A single ticket can be bought at the box office on Penang.

How to get from Bangkok to Island to Lype
1. Fly to one of the nearest airports - Krabi or Hut-Yai.
2. Further on buses or minivans to get to Pak Bar or Hat Yao.
3. Then still distils on the ferry or boat.

Prices depend on the route and selected vehicles, for example, the estimated price of Krabi Airport - to Lype (ferry + minivan) 1400 baht / person. Speedbots are more expensive.

How to get from Phuket to Lype
Many tourists go to the island of Lipa directly with water, on speedbows or ferries. However, this option is only for those who wear a swing well. Long and Mouorne.
The direct ticket can be bought on Phuket in any tourist agency right on the street.

By the way, there is no pier on the lipa, so at the last stage you have a transplant with a ferry on small boats - Londelates, followed by disembarking into the water. So prepare 50 baht and take care of good shoes and cameras :)

The most peaceful months on the island of Lipa - October and April. The rest of the tourists are many.

Beaches to Lipa

As happens everywhere in Tae, there is no single ring beach for which one could get around the whole island. On Lipa there are only three largest beach - Sunrise, Sunset and Pattaya. And a few small, where you can only get on the boat. The beaches are something similar, the sand is clean and white everywhere, the entrance to the water is gentle. However, there are also differences than experienced tourists. So, look at the co-lipa map.

On the map Lipa looks like horseshoe

Pattaya Beach is first of all a transshipment base. This comes here, and from here the brigade of tourists are leaving, there is also a Thai immigration office and several large hotels. The beach is long and clean, and quite suitable for swimming, but this is not a bounty, if you understand what I mean :)

In the photo: Lype island's most leafy beach - Pattaya Beach

Sunset is the most picturesque and "dyed" beach to lime. Here, climbing slopes, along the coast more stones and, accordingly, less boats.

In the photo: Sunset Beach Ending on Co-Lip

Sunrise Beach, perhaps the most balanced. There is enough space for everyone, - and beachheads and boats.

The best beach bars are located on Sunrise, where it is so nice to spend the evenings, communicating with friends, listening to music and drinking "Chang"

In the photo: "SEA LA VIE" - one of the best beach bars on the co-lip

Diving and snorkeling on lipe

In the photo: newcomers on the lipa quickly master diving

Lipa Island is located on the territory of Ko-Tarutao National Park, so the environment is just ideal for good diving. The surrounding coral reefs are replete with many types of tropical fish, you can also admire the turtles, barrags and dolphins. Newcomers-divers should take training tours to the neighboring Islands of Sawang and Chabang. The most advanced offers organize diving: "Adang Sea Divers" and "Ko Lipe Castaway Divers".

If you look for budget housing, most likely you will stop in the center of the island, in one of the guesthouses around the local Walking Street. Noisy, but close to the entire tourist party: cafes, bars, shopping. One of the freshest hotels and inexpensive - "A Plus Deluxe Hotel". Check Prices and Book Now

In the photo: an inexpensive and modern hotel "A Plus Deluxe Hotel", to Lype

Hotels on the West Bank of Lipe Island (especially on the Hills) are quieter and with chic types of rooms, but they have their own problems - e-mail transport - either constantly calling the local "taxi", or walking on foot, which is inconvenient in the dark.

In the photo: view from the window in the hotel "Mountain Resort" on the island of Lipe

If the main goal of rest is diving, it is best to settle in one of the authentic resorts of Sunrise Beach, like "ADANG SEA DIVERS & ECO LODGE" - Just, but very cheap. Here you can spend more time among submariner comrades, stretch yourself with equipment, and the loading of boats will be more optimal for you.

Comfortable hotels in Ko Lipe

The most gorgeous hotels of the island are certainly "Serenendipiti Resort", "Mali Resort" and a modern "IDYLLIC CONCEPT RESORT". If the budget allows, be sure to live in one of them!

Oddly enough cheap and hippu bungalok hotel "Castaway Resort"

Yesterday at 8 am came out of the house and the dinner was already in Krabi. They settled in the guest in Town and, without losing time on shower and dressing, immediately went to AO-Nang. It went through the familiar streets, looked in Condo, where we used to live, met readers in the evening. Closer to the night in Town met with friends from Hua Hina. And this morning, all together started on the lipo.

How to get from Phuket to Lype

Pierce seedlings (Rassada Pier) on Phuket is close to Phuket Town. One of the pink city buses goes there. But since the departure time at 8 am, then the easiest way will take a taxi from your hotel on Phuket or from the bus station in Tauna. Order a taxi on the Pierce of Seedlings via the Internet under this reference.

From Phuket on a co-lipa by plane

Another convenient option. From Phuket, you can fly by direct flight Bangkok Airways to Hutyay, and from there to take a minibus to Pak Bar Pier, then speedbot to the lipo. Here is the link to flights Phuket Hutyay.

How to get next? I do not know for sure, but at the airport, you may immediately offer a comprehensive ticket to minibas and a boat to Ko-Lipa. We ourselves went to another route, so I'm not sure that there will be the opportunity to buy such a ticket.

If there are no suggestions, go to the Khatyay bus station from which you comed out by bus to Pakbara Pier. Further on speedbote to the island of Lipa. Order Bus tickets + boat can be on site 12goasia.

Bus Phuket - Trang, Minibuses on Pak Packer Bar, boat up to the lime

Go to Phuket Bus Terminal 2 bus station and buy tickets for Phuket - Trang. You can't buy such tickets over the Internet anywhere, only at the station station station. Tickets will cost about 300 baht plus minus. As you arrive in Trang, right at the station you can buy a minibass ticket to Pak Bar Pier. Here is the site where you can buy a comprehensive ticket for minibus and Cater Trang - Co-Lipe.

If you need to stay at the night in Trange, book a hotel on booking on this link.

How we got to the lipa from Phuket

We drove on the ground. In Krabi, we were waiting for friends by car. Stopped overnight in Krabi Tauna, and the sutort left by car in the direction of Pakbar Pier. By car, drive from Krabi about 3-4 hours. Next, I will tell you how we spent the evening in Krabi, visited the beach of AO Nang, as well as our first impressions of the lime.

Evening in Krabi.

Krabi got on minibas for 3 hours from the central bus station, 140 baht per person. She visited, apparently, a former motorbikeker - the whole road was attacked by the energy and led quite aggressively. For myself, noted, it is better to avoid movies on minibas.

AO-Nang - Not the Best Thailand Beach

What do you need to tell about Krabi? We walked on AO-Nangu. Ponostalgned a little. We wanted to give the beach a second chance, but ... Ao-Nang beach really disappoints! This is how we wrote 2 years ago an article, everything is still so far! Dirty turbid brown water, sand, on which it hits, or the bottom ... Noise from the motor boats is worth it, as if it is not a seashore, but a building with bulldozers ... only the unique mountains of Krabi saves the position. There would be no mountains, there would be nothing to do there. Who would have thought that on such an advertised resort with a beautiful title, Krabi, one of the worst beaches of Thailand

We are in Krabi!

At all the guys lit up, someone will think ... I do not know, maybe it is, especially after. I hope that the lovers of AO-Nang will be forgiven, but the bottom looks like the bottom in the Moscow River

Dirty Beach AO-Nang

By the way, in the far left corner in the sea there is a full-flower stinky river. Very, very stinking

Krabi - the most expensive mainland resort in Thailand

Prices in Krabi are a separate conversation. Among travelers walks the myth that Phuket is the most expensive island ... nonsense! AO-Nang is much more expensive than Phuket! On Phuket Dear Transport? The most expensive route in Phuket costs 40 baht, and Songteo from AO-Nang to Town - 50.

Nepalese

Nepalese everywhere! In all shopping tents on the Nepaltsa. They are very easily identified by the disgruntled expression of the face and Indian appearance. Katya forgot his glasses on the bus, it was necessary to buy new ones. On Phuket in any tent sunglasses 100 baht. These arrogant Nepalese muzzles tell us 350. It is only possible to indignant, from which it is such a triple cheating, as they wait for you with your hand and demonstratively leave. I do not even say that in their etiquette there is no elementary "Halo" and smiles to the buyer. Sit with disgruntled belly, bolding at the phone.

Sunset

I got acquainted with the guys living in Krabi, who, as it turned out, have been reading our blog for a long time. They are not even insulted that we wrote in our time about Krabi not the best reviews (truth). Loved together with a wonderful sunset.

Krabi Town.

Here in Tauna everything is in Thai. Syly attempt the soup on 80 baht and on the dessert pancakes with a banana. They met with friends from Hua Hina and drove into the macro. At the dream, the coming was made on the beer and sleep.

The next morning we had to get up early. They snapped sandwiches and coffee from 7-11 and drove further by car towards Pakbar Pier.

Island to Lipa - First Impressions

We definitely describe in the lipa. While sharing the first impressions. Water is clean and transparent. But not turquoise, like on Siemilas.

View of the lime with a floating berth


Sunset Beach

First impressions of the lime

• For each step you have to pay - per ticket for speedbot, for the passage on the Pier, for the boat from speedbot to the beach, for the entrance to the island
• There are no beaches "Bounty"
• Beaches forced by boats
• A lot of garbage and ruin, it is worth only to get off the central wolping street
• In stores products are more expensive. Prices in the tourist cafes are approximately as everywhere - dishes of 100-150 baht
• Many Russian tourists
• Many tourists of other nationalities
• In the evening on the beach Music, fire shows and cozy barbs, just like in Goa
• The island is a large market with restaurants, bars and hottest hotels.

By the way, the main beach on the lipa is called Pattaya Beach

They did not want to sleep in cheap straw bungalows, it is romanticized only for those who have never been in the tropics. Severated a decent hotel. A lot of 2,000 baht ($ 55). Well, this is a lime, that's fine !! All cool, hotel new, bed clean, but ... no hot water! Well, how so you can, and ?? For 2 thousand baht, there are rooms for 2 thousand and can't buy at least some cheap water heaters!

Updated on Sunset Beach. Without much pleasure. There was a tump, very finely, literally knee-deep, and on the bottom there are many stones, and we did not take the shoes for swimming. Tomorrow you swim in Pattaya or go for intelligence on the third beach. About the beach holiday on this island, see a new article.

• Read:

Co-Lipa is considered to be a national park. For the entrance, we paid 200 baht ($ 6). And on the island itself is full of such swelling places, where garbage, building materials, something reproof and then abandoned. I understand that Thai themselves put on nature. But is it really so difficult to somehow put everything, once take money for the entrance? Thousands of tourists from all over the world come here, but they are not ashamed of them srach to breed and do not remove anything.

Co-lipa is no longer that (c)

Our friends are still not delighted. In the evening they attempted in the cafes, they took Changu and went to the beach. The mood has improved, we liked the evening Pattaya Beach. So, while the impressions of the lipom are ambiguous.

And one of you had been on this island? Write, how is he you? What did you like that not? Where to eat delicious, what excursions took?

PS: Already anticipating the comments of the clever, like - "How touched, they got" or "what non-studies, you see and outside" and the like philosophical nonsense. So, I answer immediately, we drove with a great attitude and expected to see the level of Similan :)

Added the next day: Today, all morning bathed on Pattaya Beach and the next beach. Wonderful blue driver, from which I do not want to get out! The mood and impressions of the island are improving!

Updated: 17 Sep, 2018

The Adang Archipelago, located in the southern part of the Andaman Sea, not far from the mainland of Thailand and Malaysia, is often called "Thai Maldives", first of all, for snow-white sand. To Lype (Thailand) is the only inhabitable island in this archipelago. Tourists come here to enjoy serenity and tranquility. In addition, the island attracts divers, because the coast lives a lot of maritime residents - almost a quarter of all existing in nature. The island is the most southernmost point of Thailand and many tourists scares the question - how to get to the lime. Nevertheless, the number of travelers increases annually. We have prepared detailed information for those who are planning a trip to the island.

general information

The island of the Lype in Thailand is located in the southern part of the Andaman Sea and belongs to the province of Satun. This is no longer southern point of the country. In a sunny, a cloudless day from the island you can see the coast of Malaysia, namely, Langkawi Archipelago, located 30 km away.

Phuket is 250 km away, to Krabi - about 220 km, and the mainland of Thailand is 70 km away.

The length of the island is only 3 km, it is easy to walk on foot, indigenous inhabitants on the lime about 800 people. The main source of income is fishing, tourism.

Interesting fact! The indigenous population belongs to the marine gypsies - comes from Malaysia, who came to the island near the century ago.

On Kojutao themed Marine Park, which was given the status of the national, at the end of the 20th century they were called the second in Thailand.

Tourist infrastructure and recreation features

Every year the number of tourists on the island of Kohl Leip in Thailand increases, despite the fact that it is possible to get here only by water. Infrastructure accordingly develops rapidly - the resort blooms and attracts more and more travelers. The first and main reason why tourists come here - beaches, where you can enjoy a relaxing holiday or make a fascinating dive, snorkeling.

Interesting fact! Not far from the lipa there are several uninhabited islands, where they are sent with the excursion tour or stay for several days in the tent.

Volking Street

The island of Lipe in Thailand boasts a walking street - Volking Street, where souvenir shops, pharmacy, travel agencies, cafes and exchange office work. The rates on the central street of the island are high enough, and the course is unfavorable, so everyone needs to be better stock on the mainland. The local attraction of Pattaya Beach begins and stretches to Sunrise Beach. The signs indicate that the street works from 6-00 to midnight, but Volking Street does not close, many cafes, restaurants and bars open in the afternoon. Of course, most of the institutions for midnight will be empty and closed, but still, you can find several bars that invite tourists.

Regarding recent banking offices and banks on the island there was no, but today it will not make money will not be difficult. It should be noted that the commission will have to pay for the removal of money, and the course is disadvantageous. Also in some hotels, you can pay the number and services of a plastic card, but the Commission is charged for it. In exchange offices, you can exchange dollars and the currency of Malaysia - Ringgit.

On the lipa in Thailand there is Wi-Fi, the Internet access points are presented in hotels and Internet cafes.

Most cafes, bars are on the coastline, the maximum distance to the sea is 200 meters. Disco and other entertainment institutions, however, there are no attractions on the island.

Interesting fact! The maximum distance between the beaches on the island is 1 km, so during the rest you can easily visit everyone. A walk from one to the other will take about a quarter of an hour. Do not like to walk - rent a bike.

For what is worth getting to the lip

1. Sea landscapes. Already on the way to the island, on the ferry, you can make beautiful photos.
2. Bright underwater world. The coast of the island has a lot of fish and maritime residents, even tourists who do not know how to swim. For this you do not need to wear special equipment, just enough masks and tubes.
3. Large selection of sightseeing tours. Most of them are on deserted islands, it's easy to stay here for several days. There are night bathing tours, which flickers from the abundance of plankton, a ride with a barbecue against the marine sunset. The cost of the excursion is about $ 17-19.
4. Snow white beaches and pure turquoise water. Despite the fact that it is not so easy to get to the island, and there are minor flaws in Thailand, the beaches are attracted by beauty and allow you to not pay attention to small inconvenience. Here you can meet fabulous dawns and sunsets, numerous bars offer drinks, delicious treats right on the shore.
5. Large seafood dishes. In each restaurant and bar offer delicious treats from such maritime residents, which you did not even hear. Some dishes are prepared right in front of tourists.

Good to know! In addition to traditional restaurants on Volking Street, buffets work, for a certain amount you can try at least the entire range of dishes. Cost about $ 15-17.

It will be incorrect to tell only about the positive sides of the island in Thailand. If you decide to make a journey and get to the lime, be prepared for the following unpleasant surprises:

• garbage, the power of the island just do not have time to export it;
• boats - the real Beach of the island, they are moored on all beaches;
• cats and dogs, some of them are annoying;
• product prices are higher than in stores on the mainland of Thailand.

Natural disadvantage - strong tides and lowers. During the tide, the coast has underwater, there is no place for the sun. In the clock, the sea is so smashes that only children can swim in the sea.

Interesting fact! The only place on the island, where there are no rows and flows - the northern edge of Sunrise Beach.

Large stores on the island are not, there are small food shops. Be sure to try pancakes - they are sold in street tents.

Transport

Getting to the island is not so simple, but on the linda to solve the issue with movement we decide. There are no cars here, few bikes, public transport does not go. Travelers offer several ways to move around the island:

• on foot;
• motobike Taxi;
• bicycle rental;
• between the beaches regularly run boats.

Accommodation on the island

Every year, new hotels opened on the lipa in Thailand, however, it is not so easy to find a high tourist season, so the room is better to book a few months before the trip. Most hotels are built directly on the shore, many have a kind of bungalow, but you can find a traditional hotel.

In the tourist season, rates for accommodation in the hotel category three stars make up about 3 thousand baht, and the bungalow can be rented for 1 thousand baht. In the low season, the rates are doubled.

Features of hotels in Lipe (Thailand):

Good to know! In addition to hotels on the island, there is also a budget accommodation - tents in Campunga. Most of all they are on the beach of Sunset.

Find out prices or book any accommodation with this form.

Beaches of Islands

The first and most important advantage of the island to Lype - beaches, which are considered the best in Thailand. Coastline is better only on Similans. A few decades ago, the beaches of the island were deserted, but today the situation has changed - infrastructure has emerged, but at the same time exotic nature has been preserved. For the sake of the beaches, many tourists make a decision to get to the lipa. We made a selection of the best places to relax on the island.

There is Pattaya Beach in the south to lipa and is a long coastline with a length of almost 1.5 km. The shore is covered with white and very small sand. In sunny weather, water acquires a turquoise tint, but in a low season, strong waves appear from the wind that bring to the shore of the garbage. The descent into water is gentle and smooth. On Pattaya Beach Strong flexures and tides, and, given the smooth entrance to the sea, find a swimming space is difficult.

Next to the shore there is a reef, so be sure to take a mask and a tube with you. Unfortunately, the shore's boats have a lot, but they are moored, leaving the bathing area. On the evening the fire show is held on the shore. There are many hotels, cafes and restaurants on the first line.

Good to know! Pattaya Beach is a tourist office for visits from Malaysia and the mainland of Thailand. In addition, there are representative offices of all shipping companies.

The eastern shore of the island is Sunrise Beach, there is a large and enough swarm sand, and the descent into the sea is sharp. On the right side there are corals and many different fish.

The coastline was stretched by 1.5 km, and the width varies depending on the tides and tides. The widest part in the northern part, and the narrowest - in the central part.

Good to know! There is no entertainment institutions and discos here, by 22-00 shore empty. To get to Volking Street, you need to go past the local slums.

On the shore there are hotels, cafes and restaurants, you can buy an excursion to the mainland of Thailand, to the uninhabited islands of the archipelago and rent a kayak. Also working diving schools.

The only thing that overshadows rest on Sayraz Beach, is chaotic moored boats.

Interesting fact! It is believed that on the beach the most beautiful sunrises, which is why the place and named Sunrise Beach.

Western part of the island to lipa. This is a small, cozy beach, where the most beautiful sunsets, therefore, called the beach - Sunset Beach. The shore is covered with stones, in some places there are large stones in the water. The sand is large, inhomogeneous color - white with bright and dark splashes. The sea is fine enough, there are fish in the water, but they are not so much. This place is calm, poorly, in the central part of the beach a lot of boats.

Good to know! Sand is unpleasant to the touch because of the fragments of the shells, so take shoes with you.

On the left side of the coast there is a cafe and sun beds. On the first line are hotels. The distance to Volking Street can be overcome for a quarter of an hour.

Sheltered, quiet beach, it is often called secret. To get here, you need to go to the right of Pattaya Beach, get to the wooden bridge and go through it. Not all tourists come to this part of the island, so not everyone knows about the beach.

Good to know! On the shore is built the only bungalow.

Go to the bridge with caution, on the view it seems fragile, creaking boards do not give confidence. Under the bridge lie huge boulders, and the turquoise water is quietly splash.

On the shore reigns a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere - someone bathes in a calm sea, someone drinks a cocktail on the shore, and someone takes pictures of beautiful views.

The beach is perfect for swimming - the water is clean, the sea is calm, the descent is flat. The seabed is soft, covered with sand, without stones.

Weather and climate when it is better to come

A trip on such a boat is also the opportunity to visit one or several islands, in addition to Phuket and to Lype.

• Speed \u200b\u200bboats run between Phuket and Lype from October 20 to May 15.
• Based on our own trip to the lipa, I can recommend the company - professional staff and new high-speed boats. Tickets for a high-speed boat with Phuket on to Lype (and on the islands between them) can be bought on the site.

2 | The most diverse and at the same time a quick way to get from Phuket to Lype

If you do not want 5 hours to ride the sea on a high-speed boat, feeling the irregularities of the sea surface and the impurity of the sea breeze, then this option will suit you more - a convenient and absolutely not a tedious combination of transport:

1. plane with Phuket in Khatyayi - Departure from Phuket at 07:25 and at 08:30 already in Khatyayai (1 hour flight),
2. comfortable minibus From the airport to Pak Bara Pick (Pak Bara) - meet at the airport with a sign at 9:00 (from the airport to the pier approximately 2 hours in the way - 119 km),
3. speed boat From the Pak Pak Pier to the island of Lipa with a stop for 10 minutes - take a walk through the protected island of Tarutao (at 1:30 pm, the boat arrives on the island of Lipe, on Pattaya Beach).

The island of To Lipa is located in the Andaman Sea in the province of Satun in the south of Thailand, very close to the Malaysian Island of Langkavi. In this article, I describe in detail about how to get to the lime from Bangkok, Phuket, other resorts of Thailand and Malaysia, as well as from Russia.

To lipa how to get

There is no airport on the island of Ko Lipa, it does not lead the bridge to it (as, for example, on Malaysia 🙂), so you can get to the lipa only on water:

1. On speedback or ferry with Pakbara Pier (PAKBARA PIER)
2. On the boat (ferry) from the pier of Hat Yao Pier (Trang)
3. On speedback from the island of Ko Lanta, with stops on the Islands Koh NGAI, Koh Mook, Koh Kradarn, Koh Bulone
4. On a high-speed boat with Phuket (through Lanta)
5. On a quick ferry / boat from the Malaysian Island Langkavi

Route diagram to Lipe Island Water transport scheme to Lipe Island

Previously, the water communication with the island was only in the high season (from mid-October to April - Mai), for the summer to the lipa "closed" from tourists now from all the ways listed above in the low season (summer) run speedbacks / boats with Pakbar, Therefore, on the island of Kozya can be reached year-round.

To lipa how to get from Pakbar Pier

From Pakbar Pier, speedbots walk / fast boats of different companies several times a day.

Approximate schedule of Pakbara boats - to lipa:

• 11:30
• 13:30
• 14:30
• 15:00
• 15:30.

Schedule maybe change! Even if you have redeemed a ticket for a certain time, this does not mean that the boat will leave exactly on the schedule. We had tickets at 11:30, and we sailed later than 12:00. IN low season (June - October) boats run 1-2 times a day, usually at 9:30 and 11:30.

Time on the way from Pakbara to a lipa one and a half hours, with excitement to the sea may increase to 2 hours or more. On the way, all boats make a stop at 15 minutes on the island of Tarutao. Those who wish can stay for several days on this island, there are bungalows and tents of the National Park. Or simply go to the island and stroll along the shore to the waiting of the boat sailing.

The entrance to Tarutao island is paid - 200 baht, more precisely, it is a fee for visiting the Tarutao National Park, the ticket is valid for 5 days, including to visit the island to Lype and other Islands of Nats. Park, which can be visited during one of.

But on the lipa pier there is no, in a low season or with strong excitement in the sea boats arrive to the shore on, and in the high season - on. Some speedBots (and our including) are parked near the shore itself, and some boats are further from the shore, and to the beach transported on Londheylah for 50 baht per person.

Landing on the island of the lime

Loading and unloading baggage That is also a circus: things are thrown right above the water and it seems that the suitcase is about to fall into the sea, so do not give the valuables to the boat loading, and keep with you! The luggage is packaged on the stern, and in some places even on the roof of the boat, so the suitcase can sail wet and dirty ...

How to get to Pakbara Pier

Nearest major cities to Pakbara village:

• Trang (not to be confused with the city of spending, which is near)
• Hat Yai.

And there and there is an airport, bus stations, and in Hat Yai, even the railway station! You can get to Pacbara Pier on:

• Taxi. The car from these two cities on Pakbara Pier will cost 1800 - 2200 baht, approximate time on the way and a half hours
• Minibace. From the bus station Hut Yai goes mini bass, the cost of 150 baht, the time on the path of one and a half - two hours
• Having bought a comprehensive ticket. For example, by arriving at the airport of Hut Ye, we bought a comprehensive ticket for mini bass + boat: Airport - Pacbara Pierce - to Lype for 900 baht per person. To buy such a ticket is better in advance on this site, firstly it will be cheaper (~ 750 ba T), and secondly do not have to wait long to wait at the airport until tourists come from other flights.

The same integrated ticket (mini bass + boat) can be bought on the railway station Hut Yai, at the bus station, in any tour agency and hotel.

Boat schedule

Important: What to get to the lime on the same day, in High Yat should be until 13:00, and better before! I would not count on a 100% boat, which is scheduled at 15:30 ... You can spend the night in the city of Hut Yai, there are many cheap hotels.

How to get to the lime from Tranga

If you flew to Trang, then the closest to the city of Trang Hat Yao Pier Pier, from which Tiger Line Ferry boats are sent daily to the high season at 13:00. Time on the way 2 hours. Buy tickets can buy a carrier website.

We traveled to the lipa just with I thought for a very long time, how to get to the lime from Phuket. I decided to choose the seaway 🙂 The high-speed boat shall immediately (yet 4-5 hours in such a high-speed boat, I would not stand it, I had enough even an hour and a half during 🙂), I wanted to swim on Tiger Line Ferry, for some reason I imagined such a big ferry , the same as or as we 🙂

But, after reading the reviews, I realized that it was better to choose another option to get to the island to Lype from Phuket 🙂 In the reviews, people complained about the old boat and frequent long-term delays, wrote that the boat goes not 4 hours, as stated, and almost twice longer! After reading the reviews, I decided to choose another way to get to the Lamp from Phuket, namely the more standard path through Hat Yai and Pakbaru.

Option 2: Through Hat Yai and Pakbaru

By bus

From Phuket in Hat Yat can be reached by bus. Buses go from 6 am to 21:45, travel time is about 8 hours, cost from 300 to 600 baht, depending on the class of the bus. Tickets can be bought on the bus station in Phuket Town or on the site.

It is best to go through the night bus VIP 24, which departs at 21:45, and arrives in Hat Ya about 6 in the morning. Further transfer to Pierce and on the first boat at 9:30 pm to the lime. Then on the island you will be around 11:00 - 11:30 and still ahead of the day!

By plane

From Phuket to Hat Yai Direct flight Bangkok Air. Departure at 7:25, arrival at 8:30. Most recently, there was still an evening flight at 19:25, but at the moment I see him in the schedule. Cost of about 1700 baht, luggage included and even breakfast on board 🙂 Check the cost and buy tickets Phuket - Hut Yai \u003e\u003e

We chose exactly this option how to get to the lime from Phuket. Everything went smoothly: at 5:30 am I ordered a taxi to our condo, at 6:15 have already been at the airport of Phuket, passed the luggage, drank coffee in a coffee shop, booted into a small aircraft, have breakfasts 🙂 in Hat Yai arrived even ahead of time specified in Schedule.

Breakfast in the plane

I wanted to buy tickets on the transfer airport - Pierce - to Lype in advance online on the site (so it turned out cheaper), but while I thought if we had a minibus, which was sent at 9 am (managed and even with a big margin), the sale of tickets stopped (online tickets can be bought no later than three days). Therefore, at the airport we found a tour agency, where and bought a comprehensive ticket Mini bass + spedboat. But I had to wait more than an hour of passengers from other flights.

On Pakbara pier were at 11:15, there were purchased tickets to exchange on the number for which the boat is carried out (the number is very convenient - the queue is not created). They sailed instead of the promised 11:30 at 12:00, and on to the lipa sailed at 14:00 - because of the storm and rain, which began on the way, the boat sailed slower and arrived at Sunrise Beach, and not to the opposite beach. It was even more convenient for us: our hotel was literally a few steps from the place of arrival of the boat 🙂

Hurray, comes our turn to load into the boat 🙂
In the boat we are waiting for sailing on to the lip

Island Lipa How to get from Krabi

You can get from Krabi to the lipa through Hat Yai. Direct flights Krabi - Hut Yai No, and fly through Bangkok, in my opinion, is not advisable, so you can get by bus, minibas or taxis. The distance to the pier is only about 300 km.

Tickets for minibas in Hat Yai from will cost 350 - 400 baht, a comprehensive ticket of AO Nang (Krabi) - to Lype - 1000 - 1200 baht. You can buy in any tour agency or hotel.

Direct route Langkavi - Lipe

In the high season on the route Langkavi - Lipe and Lipa - Langkawi run boats. On the island of Kohlip, even equipped with immigration offices where passport control pass.

Boats / Boats with Langkawi arrive at Pattaya Beach on Lipe (read all the beaches to lipe). They are sent from two purses on Langkawi:

• with Kuah Jetty Pier (in the capital of the island of Kuah, near the symbol of the city of Orel)
• from Telaga Harbor Pier, which is located next to the ORIENTAL VILLAGE Park

We floated in the opposite direction (i.e., with lipa on Langkavi) and I specifically chose the carrier, the boat of which arrive at the TELAGA Pier, because The first thing on Langkawa was planning to move at GeoPark Hotel, visit and, which are within a walking distance from this pier.
