To calmly go through all formalities and not be late, we recommend arriving at Koh Lipe pier 1 hour before the ferry departure time indicated on your ticket.

This time is necessary for several mandatory procedures:

  1. Check-in and baggage drop-off: You need to find the counter of your ferry company, present your tickets and passports, check in large luggage, and receive a boarding pass.
  2. Thailand exit passport control: It takes place right at the pier. The queue here can be long, especially during the season.
  3. Waiting and boarding: After control, you will be directed to the waiting area. Boarding the ferry does not happen from the pier, but from long-tail boats that transport passengers to the ship anchored offshore. This process also requires time.

Tip from personal experience: If you are traveling with large suitcases, come even earlier. Dragging luggage through the sand from the taxi to the pier and in the crowd is quite an ordeal. It's better to arrive 1 hour and 15 minutes early and calmly complete all formalities.

Remember that Koh Lipe operates on Thai time (UTC+7), while Langkawi uses Malaysian time (UTC+8). Make sure you correctly orient yourself to local time when planning.
