I actually did the same day trip to Koh Lipe while staying in Langkawi in Jan 2017 for 1 week from Telaga Harbour. I explored most of the island and still had plenty of time left before heading back to Langkawi. Then I decided to go to Koh Lipe again in the following year in Feb 2018 staying for 3 nights at Bundhaya Resort after staying in Ao Nang/Krabi for 5 nights, 3 nights Koh Phi Phi Don and 1 night in Koh Lanta

That's a good choice! After visiting Koh Lipe myself I realized that the best thing to do there is... island hopping! Planning to make it all the way to Phuket next time!

@@SoAndrew There is the Mangrove Tour which I think it is better. Personally I didn't like Phuket much but the Krabi Province (Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Krabi, Ao Nang, Koh Yao Noi, Railey) is amazing

@@DouniaELJAOUHARI-k1f yes, you can exchange USD to THB in Langkawi, I’ve done it at the airport. You need 300 THB in cash to pay mandatory national park fee entrance at immigration upon arriving. Western restaurants are around THB 400-500 per person. Taxi anywhere is fixed at THB 50, so I would recommend to bring around THB 1,000 per person (USD 30) for a day trip to Koh Lipe. Otherwise you can bring around THB 500-700 (USD 15-20) per person and pay at the restaurants with bank card. If you’re from North America or Europe, your passport doesn’t need visa. But you better check about your passport visa requirements for Thailand.

I did this as day trip from Langkawi and you can definitely do it with reasonable time but it is during their peak season around December to May. I've explored the main beaches in Koh Lipe with still a couple of hours to spare

How much is the cheapest ferry
@keangwooichoo6138 Жыл бұрын
Is meal or food expensive? I guess it should be.
@SoAndrew Жыл бұрын
It's very expensive. Restaurant meal would be 2-3 times more expensive than in the rest of Thailand.

Where did you get local cash from?
@SoAndrew Жыл бұрын
Exchanged in Langkawi a day before. I recommend to bring cash to Koh Lipe, not to exchange on the spot, since rates are terrible there.

In the beginning of 2020 I was planning a trip to Semporna, it's remote town near Tawau (got nice convenient and cheap flights from KL back then) in Sabah and main gateway to the islands.
