Good to know before you go

Leaving Pak Bara

Pak Bara is a small fishing town in Satun province and the main departure point for speedboats to Koh Lipe, Koh Bulone and Koh Tarutao. Vans run here from Hat Yai and Trang.

The crossing to Lipe takes about 90 minutes and the sea can be rough in the afternoon. Take the morning boat if you get seasick.

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.
