Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

This pier on Walking Street serves as the main arrival and departure point for Koh Lipe, handling ferry services that connect the island to the mainland and neighboring destinations such as Langkawi, Koh Lanta, and Pak Bara. It is the logistical hub that most visitors pass through on arrival and departure, and a central point for planning onward travel.

Visitors can expect a lively open-air atmosphere with ferry operators and ticket counters right on site. The pier is particularly busy during peak season, and the adjacent pedestrian zone offers convenient access to accommodations, restaurants, and travel agencies for those waiting for their departure or who have just arrived.

The pier is open daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Travelers should plan their arrival and departure within these hours to avoid complications. Those arriving by speedboat during peak season may have to wade ashore, as is common on Koh Lipe, depending on the tides. Therefore, it is advisable to wear quick-drying clothing and keep valuables secure. It is strongly recommended to book ferry tickets in advance during the peak season from November to April, as services can fill up quickly.
