About the ride from to Koh Lipe to Krabi
If you're keen to explore the Andaman Archipelago, Krabi is where to start. Less touristy than Phuket, it has chilled out bars, lots of restaurants - try the spicy curries - and plenty of hostels and hotels. For beaches, head to Ao Nang and Railay. The rocky coastline is dotted with caves and ideal for kayaking. Krabi is also a great place to stay if you're into rock climbing. Head to the night market for tasty cheap eats.
From Krabi, there are ferries to Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, Langkawi, Koh Lanta, and many of the smaller islands. With an international airport and plenty of bus routes, you can travel to almost anywhere in Thailand.
The ride takes anything from 4 to 8 hours depending on which operator you choose. Boats tend to leave in the morning, so you'll arrive in Krabi in the early or late afternoon. With Bookaway you can book the Tigerline High Speed Ferry or a Bus / Ferry combination ticket which takes you to Krabi Town, the airport, the bus terminal, or to Klong Muang Beach. The most convenient option for Krabi Town is the High-Speed Ferry which arrives at Klong Jilad Pier.
What to see when traveling from Koh Lipe to Krabi
The ride from Koh Lipe to Krabi takes you along the west coast of Thailand, past other islands in the archipelago, and Tarutao National Park. You won't see much on the speedboat as it's pretty fast and bumpy and fast, so if you want to take photos and see more of the view, take the High-Speed Ferry and sit outside.
How to get from Koh Lipe to Krabi
Taking the high-speed ferry
The High-Speed Ferry by Tigerline is a large ferry with seats in an air-conditioned cabin and more seats on the deck. This boat is slower than the speedboat, and better if you want to see the view. If you are likely to get queasy on the boat, take a seasick pill.
Taking the bus + ferry
With the combination ticket, you take a speedboat which is faster, but also bumpier than the High-Speed Ferry. If you are likely to feel queasy on the boat, take a seasick pill and opt for a calm day. If the boat is full, it can feel a little cramped onboard.
At the ferry pier, you'll hop in a minivan to your destination. These can drop you at your hotel in Krabi Town, the airport, bus station, or Klong Muang Beach. Minivans on this route are modern vehicles with A/C and comfy seating.
Additional information to know before you go
Have your ID handy as you'll need it to check-in. The speedboat can be bumpy: if you have a back problem or you're pregnant then the High-Speed Ferry might be the better option. Likewise, if you get seasick avoid taking the speedboat during choppy seas. Passengers have mentioned sitting at the back of the boat is better if the seas are rough.
