How to get from Koh Mook to Koh Lipe
Koh Mook to Koh Lipe Ferry
This route connects Koh Mook, a small limestone island off the Trang coast known for the Emerald Cave, with Koh Lipe, the marine-park island near the Malaysian border famous for Pattaya Beach and its walking street. There is no direct boat between the two islands, so the crossing is made in stages: a short hop to the mainland, then an onward speedboat from Pak Bara pier that cuts through Tarutao National Marine Park before reaching Koh Lipe. Some itineraries route the first leg through Koh Lanta or Trang town instead of straight to Pak Bara.
This route operates from January to April and October to December. Outside these months, the Pak Bara to Koh Lipe crossing is suspended for the monsoon season, and the live search on this page will show no departures. If you are travelling outside that window, check the Koh Lipe to Koh Mook ferry schedule for the return leg's own dates, or look at year-round mainland connections via Satun as an alternative.
Getting from Koh Mook to Koh Lipe
Start with a longtail boat or speedboat transfer off Koh Mook to the mainland pier, then connect onto the Pak Bara to Koh Lipe service — see the Pak Bara to Koh Lipe speedboat schedule for that leg on its own. Travellers based nearer Koh Lanta can instead take the Koh Mook to Koh Lanta boat transfer and pick up a Koh Lipe connection from there. The onward crossing runs on a speed boat, with onboard facilities on board for the open-water stretch through Satun province waters.
Operators, journey time and price
Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club operates this route, with 2 during the active season. Total journey time across both legs is the scheduled journey time, and fares start from ฿1,400 per person one way, depending on which combination of boats and transfers you take. Exact timings shift by day and season, so check the live schedule and price search above before committing to a same-day connection at Pak Bara.
Departure and arrival points
Boats leave from the main pier on Koh Mook, transfer at Pak Bara pier on the Trang and Satun mainland, and arrive at Pattaya Beach pier on Koh Lipe — a short walk from most guesthouses and the island's walking street. Onward transport to other parts of the island is easily arranged by longtail boat or on foot once you land.
Booking this route
Because this is a multi-leg journey with a mainland transfer, book both legs together where possible to guarantee your connection at Pak Bara. Use the search above to check live departures, confirm Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club's current timetable for January to April and October to December, and secure your seats from Koh Mook to Koh Lipe in one booking.
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.
To arrange your refund or new travel date, please click the refund button in your personal Liva account.
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.
To proceed, please click the chat button to connect with one of our customer service agents, or use any of the official channels listed in the footer of our website.
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.
