Embark on a Tropical Journey: From Phuket to Koh Lipe
Phuket to Koh Lipe: Speedboat and Combined Transfer Options
Koh Lipe sits far south near the Thai-Malaysian border, so there is no single non-stop ferry linking Phuket directly to Koh Lipe. Instead, the crossing is completed by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club using a speed boat, usually combined with a road transfer to the departure pier. The full journey takes around the scheduled journey time, with fares starting from ฿2,430 per person when booked in advance. If you are searching for how to get from Phuket to Koh Lipe, this combined transfer is the standard, most reliable option.
Departure and Arrival Points
Transfers from Phuket typically start with hotel or pier pickup before connecting to the speedboat crossing that arrives at Koh Lipe. Exact pickup points and pier locations are confirmed at booking and shown on your ticket, so always check the departure details for your selected time before travel.
Schedule and Frequency
2 run this route, and services operate during all year round each year. Koh Lipe's speedboat links are seasonal because sea conditions in the low season make crossings unsafe, so services are suspended outside the main operating window. Always check the live schedule on this page when booking, since departure times and availability can change with the season and demand.
Operators and Onboard Facilities
Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club is the main operator running this connection, using vessels equipped with onboard facilities to make the longer journey more comfortable. Because the trip involves a transfer rather than one continuous sailing, allow extra time at the connection point and keep your ticket and luggage accessible throughout.
Price and What's Included
Tickets from Phuket to Koh Lipe start at ฿2,430, generally covering the road transfer, the speedboat crossing, and pier transfer fees at both ends. Prices vary by operator, travel date, and how far in advance you book, so comparing options before you confirm is worthwhile, especially in peak season when seats sell out early.
Booking Your Phuket to Koh Lipe Transfer
Booking early is recommended, particularly around holidays and the busiest months of the all year round season, when the most convenient departure times fill up first. Select your preferred date and time above to check live availability and secure your seat with Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club.
Planning the return leg? You can book the Koh Lipe to Phuket return crossing on the same route page. If you're weighing up alternatives, the Krabi to Koh Lipe speedboat route is another common way to reach the island from the mainland.

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.
