How to get from Koh Mook to Koh Lipe
Koh Mook to Koh Lipe Ferry
This route connects Koh Mook, a small limestone island off the Trang coast known for the Emerald Cave, with Koh Lipe, the marine-park island near the Malaysian border famous for Pattaya Beach and its walking street. There is no direct boat between the two islands, so the crossing is made in stages: a short hop to the mainland, then an onward speedboat from Pak Bara pier that cuts through Tarutao National Marine Park before reaching Koh Lipe. Some itineraries route the first leg through Koh Lanta or Trang town instead of straight to Pak Bara.
This route operates from January to April and October to December. Outside these months, the Pak Bara to Koh Lipe crossing is suspended for the monsoon season, and the live search on this page will show no departures. If you are travelling outside that window, check the Koh Lipe to Koh Mook ferry schedule for the return leg's own dates, or look at year-round mainland connections via Satun as an alternative.
Getting from Koh Mook to Koh Lipe
Start with a longtail boat or speedboat transfer off Koh Mook to the mainland pier, then connect onto the Pak Bara to Koh Lipe service — see the Pak Bara to Koh Lipe speedboat schedule for that leg on its own. Travellers based nearer Koh Lanta can instead take the Koh Mook to Koh Lanta boat transfer and pick up a Koh Lipe connection from there. The onward crossing runs on a speed boat, with onboard facilities on board for the open-water stretch through Satun province waters.
Operators, journey time and price
Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club operates this route, with 2 during the active season. Total journey time across both legs is the scheduled journey time, and fares start from ฿1,400 per person one way, depending on which combination of boats and transfers you take. Exact timings shift by day and season, so check the live schedule and price search above before committing to a same-day connection at Pak Bara.
Departure and arrival points
Boats leave from the main pier on Koh Mook, transfer at Pak Bara pier on the Trang and Satun mainland, and arrive at Pattaya Beach pier on Koh Lipe — a short walk from most guesthouses and the island's walking street. Onward transport to other parts of the island is easily arranged by longtail boat or on foot once you land.
Booking this route
Because this is a multi-leg journey with a mainland transfer, book both legs together where possible to guarantee your connection at Pak Bara. Use the search above to check live departures, confirm Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club's current timetable for January to April and October to December, and secure your seats from Koh Mook to Koh Lipe in one booking.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.
If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.
If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
