Frequently Asked Questions — Koh Lipe to Khao Sok

How do I get from Koh Lipe to Khao Sok?+

The most direct scheduled service from Koh Lipe to Khao Sok is the daily JOIN multi-leg transfer, run by both Smart En Plus and Kanab naam Tour. You board a 47-seat speedboat at Koh Lipe Pattaya Beach at 09:30, transfer at Pak Bara Pier on the mainland, then continue by minivan via Krabi to Khao Sok Bus Stop, arriving around 19:30. The full journey is about 10 hours door-to-door and includes one transfer at Pak Bara Pier.

There is no direct ferry, train, or flight between Koh Lipe and Khao Sok. If you prefer a faster option, you can fly via Hat Yai (speedboat to Pak Bara + minivan to Hat Yai Airport + flight to Surat Thani + transfer to Khao Sok), but this requires 4 or more separate bookings and is more expensive.

How much does the transfer from Koh Lipe to Khao Sok cost?+

The SmartEnPlus fare for the Koh Lipe to Khao Sok multi-leg transfer starts at THB 1,600 per adult with Kanab naam Tour (the cheapest operator). Smart En Plus runs the same route at THB 1,690 per adult. Both prices are for the full 3-leg journey: speedboat from Koh Lipe Pattaya Beach to Pak Bara Pier, minivan to Krabi, then minivan to Khao Sok Bus Stop. Child fares match adult fares (THB 1,600 or THB 1,690). Infants are free with Smart En Plus and THB 800 with Kanab naam Tour.

For comparison, booking each leg independently costs about THB 1,300-1,500 in total but requires three separate bookings and managing connections at Pak Bara and Krabi yourself. Third-party aggregator Kamolrat Travel and Transport is also available on 12go.asia at a similar price.

Where does the minivan from Koh Lipe drop off in Khao Sok?+

The minivan from Koh Lipe drops you at Khao Sok Bus Stop, the public bus stop in the village of Khao Sok. This is the main gateway to Khao Sok National Park, about 1.5–2 km from the main park entrance and a short walk from most of the village guesthouses. The SmartEnPlus product does not include any hotel drop-off, so you will need to walk or arrange a songthaew pickup from the bus stop to your accommodation.

Note: Khao Sok has two distinct destinations that are often confused. The village (where SmartEnPlus drops you) is the gateway to the main park entrance. Cheow Lan Lake and the Ratchaprapha Dam, where the famous floating bungalows are located, are about 65 km further east. If you have booked a floating bungalow stay, you will need to arrange separate transport from the village to the lake, typically THB 1,500-2,500 for a private songthaew.
