Travel time to Koh Lipe is 3.5-6 hours by speedboat/ferry, or 5.5-7 hours via van + ferry (Pakbara Pier).

Koh Lipe can be reached by high-speed ferries, speedboats, or van + ferry combos from Klong Jilad Pier (Krabi), Hat Yao Pier (Trang), or Pakbara Pier (Satun).

Coming by a combination of bus and ferry is a popular option from Krabi, but you could also opt to travel by bus and ferry from Hat Yai. Hat Yai is easily reached from Bangkok via a short flight, which also makes Koh Lipe a possible good starting location for island hopping
