Magic Museum Hatyai is such a fun place to check out if you’re in Hat Yai. The 3D art zones are super interactive and perfect for taking creative photos with friends or family, plus some areas even come to life with AR effects on your phone. The best part though is definitely the magic show by Black Crystal—it’s about 45 minutes of cool tricks, funny moments, and even some audience participation, and honestly way more entertaining than I expected. Tickets can feel a little pricey and sometimes not all sections are open, but if you grab the combo ticket and plan around the showtimes, it’s totally worth it. Overall, it’s a unique mix of photo ops and live entertainment that makes for a really fun experience in Hat Yai.
service: Good and Friendly
experience: Worth to try

The local operator responded very quickly and even agreed to let us change the time at the last minute due to weather issues, which we really appreciated! The driver was also very nice. We originally thought we were going to the TeeTee Elephant Sanctuary, but we ended up going to the CHOKCHAI Elephant Camp. The baby elephant, Coco, was very cute, but we later found out that there were still elephant riding activities in the park, which our family didn't like. We hope the elephant camp can improve and promote elephant-friendly activities! Although, as the guide explained, these elephants have been raised by humans for generations and don't have older female elephants to teach them how to survive in the wild, so they can no longer survive without humans and cannot be released. We still hope the park will move towards becoming an elephant-friendly sanctuary! The ATV ride was super fun, and the instructor was very patient – highly recommended! The kayaking was also very interesting, so we're still giving 5 stars to encourage all the operators!

Booking might take more than 48 hours to confirmed, book advance (maybe 3 month ahead) will be better than book during trip

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).

There isn't an office in front of the Hat Yai bus terminal, nor is the van waiting in advance. It was almost time, but I couldn't find anything, and I was getting anxious because I had seen reviews that the van had left before the time. So, I called the business phone number on the voucher. An employee answered right away, knew who I was, and the conversation went smoothly. That female employee was really efficient and sent the driver right away, so I was able to get on the van without any issues. If you are Korean and booking this, wait at the 7-Eleven in front of the bus terminal, and if the van doesn't come, contact the office. The van was quite decent. It took 2 hours to get to the pier, where I waited for an hour before taking a speedboat. There were two rows of seats in the center and seats arranged along the perimeter of the boat. Sitting on the perimeter seats for 1 hour and 30 minutes was a bit uncomfortable, but I arrived at the island just as it was getting a little tough, which was perfect. If possible, sit in the two center rows of seats. Overall, it wasn't bad. The phone operator and the staff at the port had good English pronunciation, so I could understand them easily. They were also quick to understand my clumsy English and handled things efficiently, which was great.

Seamless transition from early flight arrival in hat yai to hotel near park bara pier. I didn't expect the driver would be there so early. Driver was great. Communication with company was great.
