Good to know before you go
Leaving 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.
Arriving in Ao Nang
Ao Nang is the busiest beach town on the Krabi coast and the easiest place to stay if you want boats to Railay, Koh Phi Phi and the Hong islands. Ferries leave from Nopparat Thara Pier at the western end of the beach, and longtail boats to Railay leave straight from the sand.
Most Ao Nang tickets include a free shared pick-up from your hotel to Nopparat Thara. Be in the lobby 30 minutes before the time on the ticket.
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.
