Fast boat route

Koh Lipe to Phuket Ferry

Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club lists one sailing a day from Pattaya Beach on Koh Lipe to Rassada Pier on Phuket. It leaves at 10:30 and arrives about 16:00. Its schedule gives 10:00 as the check-in time, at the company office on Pattaya Beach, in front of Bu-Nga Resort. The Phuket to Koh Lipe direction is marked as changing boats at Koh Lanta; the schedule does not say either way for this direction. Tigerline Ferry also sells this crossing and publishes it as about 4 to 5 hours with around 4 trips a day, but its site does not show departure times we could read. Ferry comparison sites describe rougher seas and delayed departures on this coast during the May to October monsoon, and Tigerline publishes a separate monsoon-season (May to September) timetable, so check that the sailing is running if you travel in those months.
