Last verified: April 2026

Koh Lipe is Thailand's southernmost island, near the Malaysian border. Getting there requires multiple connections — fly to Hat Yai or Trang, then transfer to a speedboat or ferry. It's remote but worth the effort.

Our recommendation

Fly to Hat Yai Airport, then take a minivan + speedboat combo. In high season (Nov-May), speedboats run from Pak Bara Pier daily.
