Where does the speedboat from Koh Lanta arrive on Koh Lipe?+

The speedboat from Koh Lanta arrives at Pattaya Beach on Koh Lipe — a beach landing, not a formal pier. The boat runs aground directly on the soft sand, and passengers step off into shallow water (typically ankle-to-knee deep) and wade a few metres to the beach. Pattaya Beach is Koh Lipe's main tourist strip, with Walking Street (the island's pedestrianized shopping and dining lane) a short walk south along the beach. A Satun immigration checkpoint sits near the pier area, so passports are checked at arrival. Koh Lipe has no road network; most resorts are within 5–15 minutes' walk of Pattaya Beach, or reachable by longtail boat to Sunrise or Sunset Beach.
