Convenient, and right on time – someone was there holding a sign with my name at 11 AM to pick me up.

The arrangement was good. The journey took about 4.5 hours in total from the bus station to the pier (2h), and then from the pier to lipe (1.5) including the time waiting for boat boarding time. We departed around 10:00 AM and reached lipe around 3PM. Overall, the trip was good. We asked how long it would take from a certain point to another, and the driver briefly explained it to us. The condition of the boat and the van was also condusive. There was no waiting time, and everything went smoothly. Thank you so much.

Second time visiting Koh Lipe, and this time I didn't book through the hotel. Instead, I booked the Hi Lipe transportation service (van and boat) on Klook. They picked us up from our hotel in Hat Yai at 8:00 AM and took us directly to the pier (unlike last time when we had to go to their office, which wasted time). After communicating with the staff, Klook customers can directly enter the VIP lounge to enjoy a complimentary drink, air conditioning, and charging stations! Thumbs up! Five stars for the service小姐 (service lady). Price: Reasonable Seat reservation process: Smooth Transportation services included: All-inclusive�

I had a very comfortable and enjoyable ride. The driver drove safely and comfortably. In particular, the female staff member at the dock was very kind and gave detailed instructions.

The staffs are very good. They pick us up at the pier and help us deliver our luggage to our room. The hotel is located on the beautiful Pattaya beach. The sand is fine, the beach is wide, the water is clear, and the breakfast is a la carte.
