You can take a taxi directly outside the airport terminal. There is a taxi stand with attendants who speak many languages and will give you the approx. cost to your hotel or guesthouse in Bangkok. There are also kiosks and direct phone lines to many hotels in the city.
Bangkok is a big and vibrant city, so we suggest doing a little research on where you would like to go. We suggest Silom, Sukhumvit, Khao San Road areas.
To get back to the airport or train station simply hire any taxi. Bangkok traffic can be horrendous so allow yourself plenty of time. There are also airport buses in various areas.
Book a flight or a train ticket on-line or at one of the many travel agents in and around Bangkok. Check our helpful links page for flights and train schedules.
The nearest towns to Koh Lipe with an airport as well as a train station are Hat Yai or Trang.
Hat Yai is the closest city to us and where you will need to get a taxi/mini-bus to Pak Barra where you will catch the boat to Koh Lipe.
Malaysia
Langkawi has a pier and there are normally ferries to Koh Lipe during high season, but the schedule could change due to weather conditions and availability.
The ferry departs from Telaga Harbour at Langkawi to Koh Lipe. Please contact Telaga Harbour or telephone +604 9592202 for more up-to-date information.
Satun and HatYai are the only other options if coming from Malaysia.
Koh Lanta
From Koh Lanta, Phi Phi Island, Phuket and Koh Jum, there are now boats that operate on odd days from Koh Lanta. If you can get to Koh Lanta from the other islands, this trip is fun and worth the little bit of effort. This trip usually takes 3-4 hours with short stops at Koh Ngai and Koh Mook. (subject to change each season)
