About Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai

Company Information

Based at Hat Yai railway station, Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai is a good choice for those looking to visit Koh Lipe. The city is ideally located for those headed to Malaysia, with the border crossing nearby.

Routes served by Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai

Hat Yai–Koh Lipe

There is one service each day between Hat Yai and Koh Lipe, leaving at 09.00 in either direction, the journey lasts between four and five hours with a scheduled arrival time of 13.30.

Helpfully passengers can choose whether they wish to use these services from Hat Yai’s train station or the city’s airport. Services departing from or terminating at the train station are priced at THB600 whereas the buses that head to the airport cost THB700.

VIP minivans are used on all services when travelling with Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai.

Pros

Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai is a good option for anyone looking to visit Koh Lipe from the mainland. The fact that the ferry trip is included in the cost of the tickets is helpful as it can save passengers a lot of hassle trying to arrange separate stages of this trip and it can often work out cheaper to purchase this combination ticket through Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai.

For those enjoying the stunning beaches of Koh Lipe, Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai is useful as you can head to Hat Yai to then easily cross the border into Malaysia. This service is handy for those whose visa is coming to an end and they need to exit the country at short notice.

Finally, the option of arranging tours of the Songkhla province is ideal for those who are travelling on a shorter schedule. This full day tour would allow visitors to see all the tourist spots around the region in just one day, saving a good deal of time travelling around the area by public transport.

Cons

The biggest issue with Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai is the limited choice of departures. With just one minivan leaving each day from Hat Yai for Koh Lipe, travellers will most likely be required to stay in Hat Yai overnight in order to catch this service.

Keep in mind

Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai also offers tours around the local area. For example, you can choose this operator to travel across the Songkhla province and visit a wide range of tourist destinations including temples, religious sites and beaches. To hire a minivan for this full day tour costs THB2,000, with capacity for 12 passengers, and a private car is priced at THB1,700 for the day. On top of this you will have to pay entrance fees to these sights.

Travellers Reviews

Most visitors think that more departures are needed to make Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai a more useful service for passengers. A greater number of services on the Hat Yai to Koh Lipe route would be beneficial as it would give visitors more flexibility as to arranging their travel plans.

Currently, passengers need to ensure that they have arrived in Hat Yai for 09.00 in order to travel to Koh Lipe, this may not be possible if you are travelling from further afield so it is likely that you will have to stay at least one night in Hat Yai.

Similarly, if Sukhothai Tour Hat Yai offered an improved number of routes then passengers would benefit, especially if these included minivans to other major destinations across the country such as Bangkok, Pattaya or Koh Samui. Passengers are sometimes surprised that the operator does not offer a transfer to the Malaysian border from Hat Yai as this would no doubt prove a popular service for many travelling around this region.

We were not met outside of the airport exit 7/8 by a representative holding a placard with our name as the documents said we would. However the transportation from the airport to the peir was comfortable. Also, we were not made aware that the speedboat would stop at an island for 20 minutes before we arrived on Koh Lipe. It would have been good to know that.

We stopped on the islands that we did not want to and came to Koh Lipe 75 minutes later than scheduled. The boat was rather old and the crew had to fix technical probles several times. The boat was crowded in spite of covid restrictions.

Arrival time was too late. We arrived 1 hour and 20 minutes later than the scheduled time. The boatman is too bad at landing in the harbor.

Picking us up at the air was no problem at all but when we arrived at the pier we were left alone. I had to ask where to get the tickets as well as when the ferry was leaving; no information from the driver or someone else whatsoever

The van trip was fine. But the boat trip by Baanpun Travel was unacceptable, my booking was become invalid, we were delayed, .e & my wife had to endured 2,5 hours stuck in Pakbara Pier, with no prior information that will be delayed, not even water we were given, I have to stand in front of the counter to get into the next boat. I urge you to switch your boat trip vendor from Baanpun Travel to another company.

great. It’s easy to pick me up at airport. I confused furry terminal. Because of only Thailand language. I would like to attend in ferry terminal if possible

The journey from the airport to the ferry was excellent. The driver was very good and careful. The experience with the ferry was terrible. I had to wait for over two hours, staff did not communicate the reasons for the delay, when asked questions they gave false information. The boat did not go directly to Lipe but stopped twice on the way delaying us even further. An awful experience!

the boat ride was faster than the trip from pakbara to koh lipe (without any stops) but the ride was very bumpy. Problem is when we arrived at Pakbara, there was no one to greet us and there is no clear direction of what to do next? We had to call to learn the person was due to arrive later. Some earlier direction would be better.

Except for the fact that it was not specified at which pier the ship leaves exactly on Koh Lipe, everything went smoothly. The driver was already waiting for us on the mainland. Highly recommended!

We made it to our destination on time, but as others have said, it could have been smoother. Van picked us up much earlier than scheduled, then picked up another couple. We then met another van and had to squeeze into that one. In the end, we went back past our hotel. The pier was confusing. Like others, driver said one thing, inside they said another, but were very abrupt. Make note - go up to the desk to get your number. You are going to board by number, the earlier, the better. Our boat was also packed. And for some reason we made 2 pitstops of 15 mins each. Not sure why. We’ll see how the return goes...

Pick up and the drive were punctual, but the boat ride lasted much longer as advertised. What should have been a 4 hour transfer, turned into 5,5 hrs.
