Trang to Koh Lipe: Ferry and Bus-Boat Combo Options
Traveling from Trang to Koh Lipe is one of the most popular ways to reach the Koh Lipe archipelago in the far south of Thailand. Since Koh Lipe has no airport, most visitors travel overland from Trang before continuing by boat, and this route is a reliable, well-established option for reaching the island's white-sand beaches and coral reefs.
How to Get from Trang to Koh Lipe
The journey is typically covered by shared minivan and speed boat, combining a road transfer with a speedboat crossing to the island. Jolly Travel operates this connection, handling the coordination between the overland and sea legs so travelers do not need to book each segment separately. The full trip takes around about 1 minutes, depending on transfer waiting times and sea conditions.
Departures run 2, giving travelers some flexibility when planning their arrival on Koh Lipe. Services generally operate during all year round, which covers the region's dry season when sea crossings are calmer and more consistent; outside this window, availability can be limited, so it is worth checking the current schedule before finalizing travel plans.
Prices and What's Included
Fares on this route start from ฿950 per person. The price generally includes the road transfer from Trang to the pier and the speedboat crossing to Koh Lipe, though exact inclusions can vary by operator, so it is worth checking what is covered when booking. Onboard and transfer facilities include onboard facilities, which help make the multi-hour journey more comfortable.
Departure and Arrival Points
Transfers depart from central points in Trang, typically the bus terminal or hotel pickup locations depending on the operator, before continuing to the pier on the mainland for the speedboat crossing. On arrival, boats dock directly at Koh Lipe, from where most resorts and guesthouses are within easy walking distance or a short local transfer.
Good to Know Before You Book
Because Koh Lipe is only reachable by sea, this bus-and-speedboat combination is the most practical way to get there from Trang, avoiding the need to book a separate long-distance bus and boat ticket. Travelers connecting from Bangkok, Krabi, or Phuket often route through Trang specifically for this onward service. Luggage space on the speedboat is limited, so packing light is recommended, and it's worth confirming pickup times the day before departure since early morning transfers are common on this route.

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.
