Koh Lipe is the southernmost island belonging to Thailand, laying 60 km away from the mainland. There are frequent day trips to the surrounding islands, which are recommended as the easiest and most efficient way to travel. The island itself is part of the Adang Archipelago, a cluster of around ten islands, though Koh Lipe is the only one that is inhabited. There are myriad of resorts and hotels dotted around the island which are popular among tourists, many of them providing high quality service to their guests. For transport around the island there are official motorbike taxis that can fit a couple of people at a time, though it is advised to negotiate a price beforehand. The taxi drivers wear purple vests to make them more visible to customers, and they will often seek out tourists so finding a taxi often isn’t too difficult. There are several ferry routes departing the port each day, with the destinations changing throughout the day. The longer crossings are typically towards the late afternoon and the shorter crossings are towards the morning. It is worth noting that there are a limited number of ATM’s on the island, and they are often erratic and unreliable, so it is worthwhile saving some extra cash for any emergencies.
Situated around 30 km from the mainland of Malaysia, Langkawi is an archipelago consisting of 99 islands laying on the Andaman Sea. The only ferry route from the port is to Penang, one of the larger Malaysian cities which is found on the northwest coast. Langkawi is a holiday destination for tourists that are intent on enjoying an active few days in the warm weather among stunning views. Langkawi Beach is particularly popular with tourists, especially during the summer months; jet skiing is available to the more adventurous traveller, whereas sailing cruises may provide a better option for those just looking to relax. Away from the beach, there are art and craft shops offering local, traditional pieces or for a cheap, productive day out there is Kilim Nature Park relatively close by. A tour group offer the chance to experience the beauty of the park at a leisurely pace with a knowledgeable tour guide. There is very little of any interest close to the port itself, so it is best advised to get a taxi to any desired destination. There is a taxi rank waiting directly outside the port to pick up passengers – it is possible to negotiate a price for a whole day with a taxi driver for convenient and easy transportation.
