Good to know before you go

Leaving Koh Ngai

Koh Ngai (also written Koh Hai) is a small island with a handful of resorts along one long beach and very clear water. Boats drop guests at resort piers or on the beach.

Tell the boat crew the name of your resort when you board so they drop you in the right place.

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.
