Good to know before you go
Leaving Krabi
Krabi Town sits on a river estuary and is the province’s transport base, with an airport, a bus terminal and the main ferry port. Ferries to Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta leave from Klong Jilad, a few minutes from town, while speedboats use smaller piers along the coast.
If your ticket says “Krabi”, check whether the boat leaves from Klong Jilad or from Ao Nang. They are 30 minutes apart by road.
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.
