Koh Lipe is one of the best tropical holiday designations in the world. Anyone who has been here will attest to the fact that it is a true tropical paradise with no comparison. The beaches are amazing, the surrounding sea waters beautifully clear, the food delicious and the locals super hospitable. If you are looking for an enchantingly beautiful place with a great climate and lots of tourist amenities for your family's next holiday, then Koh Lipe should be your number one destination.
Koh Lipe is very accessible to anyone. It is located in the Adang archipelago at about 60km to the south of mainland Thailand. The island is mainly accessible by a ferry. The easiest route to the island is to fly to Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand then take a ferry to the island. This is an easy route because you can book an all-inclusive ticket that covers your flight to Bangkok, shuttle bus to the Pak Bara Pier and a Ferry from the pier to Koh Lipe. The whole journey should take your about five hours to reach Koh Lipe from Bankok. Quite a number of airlines including the Nak air and AirAsia offer the all-inclusive package.
Alternatively, when you fly into Bangkok you can decide to book the ticket individually. If you want to enjoy the amazing tourist destination on Thailand mainland then you do not need an all-inclusive ticket. The prices for the individual tickets are quite affordable. Make sure that you arrive at the Pak Bara pier about an hour before the departure time for your ferry. This will give you and your family time to enjoy the beautiful sceneries and get yourselves comfortable on the ferries long before the departure of your ferry. Ferries from Thailand mainland to KohLipe operate throughout the year and therefore you don't have to worry about your time of travel.
If you want to enjoy the beautiful Andaman Sea then you should make your travel itinerary around the different island within the sea. Because of the popularity of island hopping in the sea, there are ferry services to KohLipe from several other islands within the Andaman Sea. For example, there are two ferry routes from Langkawi to Koh Lipe. The most popular route is by the Kuah Jetty from the Kuah town' main ferry Pier. The journey takes you through some scenic place and takes about two hours. The alternative is a Telaga ferry from the Telaga Harbour Marina. This is near KohLipe and takes a shorter period of time. All ferries from the Langkawi to KohL ipe operate from October to May which is usually the tourists' high season in the region.
During the high season, you can get a ferry to Koh Lipe through Andaman Ferry Service. There are ferries from Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Phuket, KohMuk, and Langkawi. All these ferries pass through the picturesque waters of the Andaman Sea giving you and your family a chance to enjoy the beautiful view of the islands from the sea. Remember to get the ferry schedule for your next destination before your travel so that you can make proper arrangement for your travel. In addition, it is important to note that not all islands in the Andaman Sea belong to Thailand. It is, therefore, important to have your papers in order before traveling.
