I highly recommend Hi Lipe Travel Agency. While many companies share the speedboats, Hi Lipe confirmed my booking via WhatsApp the day before and even asked if there was anything they could do to help with my travel schedule while I was en route to Surat Thani. I was so grateful. After an overnight stay at Pakbara Pier, I woke up early and asked to change my schedule, which they readily accommodated. Most importantly, when boarding the speedboat, which is shared by several companies, they stayed with me until I was on board, confirmed my boarding, and then said goodbye. The journey to Koh Lipe was long and challenging, but thanks to Hi Lipe, I felt secure. Thank you.

The whole journey was incredibly smooth. They picked us up right at the airport and handled the boat transfer to the island perfectly. The staff provided excellent service—they contacted us to confirm everything a day in advance and kept us updated with phone calls throughout the trip. Highly recommended!

As informed by the provider that we have to wait at the office of Hi Lipe. We embarked from the pier and walked with our luggages to the office under the hot sun, when in fact we can actually wait at the pier for the staff to fetch us. Clearer information should be provided prior to the date of picking us via Whatsapp. Other than that, the ride was OK but was longer than we expected as the driver has to drop off a passenger at the airport before sending us to hotel.

The room was okay and clean, and getting there wasn't difficult. Toothbrushes weren't provided in the room; you had to request them at the lobby.

General info
What to know before visiting Hat Yai
Quick snapshot of Hat Yai and what to expect
Hat Yai is a lively southern city with a mix of family-friendly playgrounds, museums, water activities and massage options, and Klook booking data shows a clear yearly rhythm. Demand builds through late summer into a strong peak in September, while quieter months arrive in the spring.
Best times to visit and how prices move
September is the busiest month according to Klook booking data, and March shows the lowest demand. Prices on Klook also peak in September and then drift down through the autumn and winter, reaching the typically cheapest point around January. For lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for the quieter months around March or January; if you want the peak-season atmosphere and more things going on, aim for September. Demand and prices move together here — the busiest month is also the priciest on Klook.
Tips for travellers
Most experiences in Hat Yai can be booked at short notice: Klook data shows bookings are often made within a couple of days, with many last-minute options available a day out. If you prefer planning, you can still lock things in about a week ahead, but for travel in September consider booking earlier when availability is tighter. Use Klook to compare timings and options so you can pick what suits your schedule and budget.
