Good to know before you go

Leaving Koh Bulone

Koh Bulone (Bulon Lae) is a small, very quiet island on the way from Pak Bara to Koh Lipe, with a few bungalow resorts and good snorkelling.

Services are seasonal and infrequent. Check the last boat before you plan a day trip.

Arriving in Koh Lipe

Koh Lipe sits at the edge of Tarutao National Marine Park, close to the Malaysian border. It has no deep-water pier: in high season boats stop at the floating pier off Pattaya Beach or at Bundhaya, and in low season they land at Sunrise Beach.

A Tarutao National Park fee is collected on arrival, so carry baht. Boats to Langkawi involve Thai exit immigration on Lipe.

Weather and season

Best November to April, when the sea is calm. From May to October the south-west monsoon brings swells; big ferries keep running but many speedboat island-hops stop.
