How to get from Koh Lipe to Trang
Koh Lipe to Trang Ferry & Transfer
Travelling between Koh Lipe and Trang combines a speedboat crossing with an overland transfer, connecting Koh Lipe and Trang for travellers heading to or from mainland Thailand. This route operates January to May and September to December only, in line with the Andaman Sea sailing season — outside these months the crossing is suspended and the booking engine will show no departures. If you're travelling off-season, check the Koh Lipe to Hat Yai transfer as a year-round alternative, or plan your trip within the active season shown above.
Transport Modes and Operators
The journey is run as a shared minivan and speed boat crossing, typically operated by Jolly Travel alongside other licensed operators on this route. On board you can expect onboard facilities, standard for Andaman island transfers. Always check your chosen operator's terms when booking, since boarding procedures and luggage allowances can vary between companies.
Journey Time and Departures
The crossing takes around about 1 minutes, with 1 available during the operating season. Because sea conditions and pier schedules can shift day to day, use the live departure list on this page to confirm the exact sailing times before you travel, rather than relying on a fixed timetable.
Prices and Booking
Fares for the Koh Lipe to Trang route start from ฿950 per person one way. Prices can vary by operator, boat class, and how far in advance you book, so it's worth comparing the options shown above before confirming. Booking ahead is recommended in high season, when seats on the earlier departures sell out first.
Departure and Arrival Points
Boats leave from Koh Lipe's main pier and arrive at Pak Meng or Hat Yao pier near Trang, where connecting minivans continue to Trang town, the bus terminal, and Trang Airport. If your onward journey is a flight from Trang Airport, build in extra time for the pier-to-airport transfer, as it is a separate leg from the boat crossing itself — check transfer options when you book to make sure the timing lines up with your flight.

Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.

What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.

Warning: Please do not send requests by replying directly to the booking confirmation email, as this is not an official support channel.
Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
