How to buy ferry tickets to Koh Lipe online and is it possible with a Russian card?

Yes, ferry tickets to Koh Lipe can be purchased online, and Russian cards (specifically, Mir cards) are accepted on some trusted websites. This is often more profitable and convenient than buying at the pier ticket offices.

Best websites for booking:

• Trip.com: Here you can buy ferry tickets from Langkawi, as well as combined transfers from Phuket, Krabi, and other resorts. The website accepts Russian cards, prices are often lower than on-site.
• 12go.asia: A popular Asian aggregator. Allows you to book a ticket online and pay in cash at 7-Eleven network counters in Thailand or Malaysia, which is very convenient if there are issues with cards.

For ferries from Thailand (e.g., from Pakbara Pier), ready-made transfers are easier and often cheaper to buy at street travel agencies directly in Phuket, Krabi, Lanta, and other resorts. You can also pay in cash there.

By buying tickets in advance, you not only save money but also guarantee yourself a seat on the desired flight, especially during the high season when ferries can be overcrowded.
