Your Transportation Options (Speed & Savings)

Option 1: The Fastest Route — Direct Speedboat from Koh Lipe to Phuket (Sea-Only)🚤

koh lipe

This is the quickest and most direct way to reach Phuket, offering a continuous sea journey across stunning islands in the Andaman Sea.

Route: Koh Lipe (Pattaya Beach) → Koh Kradan → Koh Mook → Koh Ngai → Koh Lanta → Koh Phi Phi → Phuket (Rassada Pier)

  • Check In Point : Bundhaya Speedboat Counter
  • Check In Time : 30 minute before departure
  • Map a check in point : Bundhaya Speedboat Counter
  • Departure: 09:00 AM from Koh Lipe (Pattaya Beach)
  • Arrival: Around 14:30 PM at Phuket (Rassada Pier)
  • Duration: Approximately 4.5 – 5.5 hours

Along the way, the speedboat makes short stops to drop off and pick up passengers at each island:

  • Koh Kradan [Koh Kradan Beach]
  • Koh Mook [Koh Mook Pier ]
  • Koh Ngai [Koh Ngai Resort Pier]
  • Koh Lanta [Saladan Pier & transfer to another speedboat]
  • Koh Phi Phi [Tonsai Pier]

✅ Pros:

  • Fastest and most scenic route
  • No need to switch to land transport

⚠️ Cons:

  • Higher price
  • Available only during high season (October–April)
  • May be affected by sea conditions

Option 2: The Budget-Friendly Route — Speedboat + Van +Van Combination

If you prefer a more economical option or want to avoid a long sea trip, this route combines both boat and van transfers.

Route: Koh Lipe → Pak Bara Pier → Krabi → Phuket

  • Departure: 09:30 AM from Koh Lipe (Pattaya Beach)
  • Arrive at Pak Bara Pier: 11:00 AM
  • Van Transfer:
    • Pak Bara Pier → Krabi (11:30 AM – 16:00 PM)
    • Krabi → Phuket Bus Terminal 1 (16:30 PM – 19:30 PM)
  • Total Duration: Around 9 – 10.5 hours

✅ Pros:

  • More affordable option
  • Safer and more reliable during rough sea conditions (shorter sea crossing)

⚠️ Cons:

  • Longer overall travel time
  • Multiple transfers required

💡 Smarten Plus Tip: You can book convenient joint tickets that cover the entire journey (speedboat + van+van), saving you the hassle of coordinating separate connections. Check our website for the latest schedules and fares!
