Where does the ferry from Krabi arrive at Koh Lipe?+

All 25 Krabi to Koh Lipe SmartEnPlus products arrive at Pattaya Beach on the south end of Koh Lipe — the main arrival beach and the island's liveliest area.

There is no formal pier on Koh Lipe — speedboats beach-land directly on Pattaya Beach, and passengers wade ashore in shallow water (knee-deep, so wear sandals or water shoes). From the beach, longtail boats ferry you to your resort for a small fee (typically ฿50–100 per person).

Pattaya Beach is Koh Lipe's main accommodation and entertainment zone — Walking Street runs the length of the beach with restaurants, bars, dive shops, and most of the island's budget and mid-range hotels within walking distance.
