Island Delight: From Langkawi to Koh Lipe's Shores
You are in Langkawi, Malaysia. It is a beautiful group of 99 islands. But you can’t help but be excited about going to Koh Lipe.
It is a gorgeous spot in the Andaman Sea. You are considering booking your ticket online. Langkawi is special because it is a duty free island. And it’s full of amazing sights like green forests and big beaches with really clear water. But visiting Langkawi is not enough.
Before you set off on your trip, there's plenty to enjoy in Langkawi. You could take a ride on the cable car and see the beautiful views from up high, or hang out with the fun crowds at Pantai Cenang. These experiences serve as the perfect prelude to the adventure that awaits in Koh Lipe.
Before you leave the lively vibe of Langkawi behind, you only need to take a ferry ticket. It will be the start of the next part of your island journey. Heading out to Koh Lipe, you bring along the excitement for adventure.

The sea breeze and ocean views provide a serene backdrop to the start of your island adventure. Don't forget to keep an eye out for marine life and other natural wonders along the way!
When arriving on Pattaya Beach, visitors are immediately enveloped in the island's atmosphere. The atmosphere here contrasts with Langkawi's Pantai Cenang. Pattaya Beach effervesces with a lively spirit. Especially in the evening when the Walking Street comes alive with an array of local delicacies and artisanal wares.
For the early risers, a stroll along Sunrise Beach presents a symphony of hues as dawn paints the horizon in strokes of pastel majesty. Conversely, Sunset Beach offers a tranquil haven, a quiet corner.
Koh Lipe is more than its postcard-perfect beaches; it is an invitation to an island-hopping reverie. The small islands dotting the seascape beckon, each promising its own slice of paradise.
Navigating through these beautiful islands, adventurers pay homage to the delicate balance of nature. By purchasing a national park fee, a modest price safeguarding the splendor of Koh Lipe's surroundings. This fee upholds the sanctuary of the Tarutao National Marine Park. It is a testament to Thailand's commitment to preserving its natural heritage.
Whether Langkawi has been a home base for exploration or the starting point of a nautical nomad's tale, the transition to Koh Lipe is a seamless continuation of discovery. For those captivated by the rhythm of the tides and the whispers of the ocean breeze, the journey between these two jewels of Southeast Asia is not just a passage through turquoise waters but a voyage into the heart of island grandeur.
From Langkawi to Koh Lipe by boat
Traversing the stretch of water from Langkawi to Koh Lipe can only be accomplished by taking to the sea. Your journey commences at the Kuah Jetty, with the destination being Pattaya Beach. Daily, there is a minimum of one maritime service available, provided by the Bundhaya Speed Boat company.
From Kuah Jetty to Pattaya Beach
Setting sail from Kuah Jetty, your voyage to Pattaya Beach will be relatively brief. Kuah Jetty stands as the principal ferry hub facilitating the arrival and departure of travelers on Langkawi Island. Pattaya Beach, in turn, functions as the primary nautical gateway.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Koh Lipe is from November to April when the weather is sunny and dry. It makes it ideal for beach activities and exploring. The peak tourist months are December and January, the high season.
But if you prefer fewer crowds and still good weather, consider March to April. Outside of these months, you'll encounter the rainy season with potential for fewer services and rough seas.

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.
