The mini van that collected us had no brakes, so everything the driver braked, all you could hear was metal on metal screeching, which isn't good over the mountains in the rain for over 4 hrs. The driver has a habit of just feathering the accelerator, which causes the van to judder and feels like a kangaroo motion, which doesn't make passengers feel well. The speedboat journey wasn't much better, it was rough seas and despite several people being sick and passenger luggage being thrown about, there was no let up from the driver who continued when he could at top speed, at times the entire boat felt airborne. All were glad when we got off.

My journey from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe went absolutely smoothly. Everything was perfectly organized: I was picked up on time at my hotel in Ao Nang, and the transfer to the pier was comfortable and stress-free. Upon arrival, the staff was ready to assist with luggage and provide clear instructions about the boat ride. The boat trip itself was well managed, with helpful staff, clear information, and everything running exactly on schedule. I felt well taken care of throughout the journey. Upon arrival at Koh Lipe, staff were again there to help with luggage and guide us through immigration and onto the beach. Overall, a perfect and worry-free experience. I would highly recommend this route from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe to anyone looking for a smooth and hassle-free transfer to paradise.

Picked up on time, long drive to Pak Bara pier, driver stopped for a couple of toilet breaks for us. Well organised at the pier to collect our boat tickets and get on the boat to Ko Lipe. The first boat we got on appeared to have a problem shortly after we set off, they sent another boat and we transferred over. This was all handled fairly quickly with our luggage transferred for us. No one on the boat spoke English though, luckily a passenger could translate and let us know what was going on. Very little information about timings, etc...you just have to trust the process!

2 hours total delay. Bus and speedboat totally outdated. Speedboat resembles a refugee boat.

How to get from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe by Van

Van is a convenient option to get from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe. Van tickets are affordable, vans are generally do a faster job than buses, vans offer a good choice of departures.

Depending on the van type, each vehicle can accommodate between 12 and 15 passengers. Yet an evident drawback of travelling by van is limited space for the luggage. In most cases you will need to keep your bags, backpacks or suitcases under your seat or in the aisle. Thus van is not the best choice if you travel with huge luggage. F this is the case, consider buying a separate ticket for your bags or choose bus instead.

On certain routes, vans are your only choice of transportation as no buses, trains or flights are available between those destinations.

It is a popular question whether it is necessary to book van tickets in advance. Though some routes feature a lot of departures, we still highly recommend booking your seat especially if you are going to take one of the last vans of the day; travelling during weekends, public holidays or busy tourist seasons; are in a group of two or more and want to travel on the same van.

Here is the list of companies that run regular vans between Ao Nang and Koh Lipe and offer tickets for online booking.

How far is from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe?

Vans follow the same routes as buses do. Thus the driving distance between Ao Nang and Koh Lipe will be about 225 km.

How long does it take to get from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe by Van?

Most vans need from 8h to 8h hours to get from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe Note though that travel time depends greatly on traffic conditions. Traffic can be dense around the rush hour at both your departure point and destination. Weather conditions – e.g. heavy rain – often result in longer travel time, too.

Before booking your van tickets, check how long the trip with each operator takes as some vans follow longer routes to Koh Lipe or make detours.

Also, it is important to know that van companies that accept online booking offer scheduled van departures; yet there are also some vans which depart only when full, and in certain cases the waiting period can be long. Thus choosing an operator that runs vans on a set schedule is always a better idea.

Best Rated Companies for this Route

Getting a van service for your group can offer extra space, comfort and convenience not found in other transport options. Unlike taxis or buses which have numerous trips per day, a van service is usually scheduled. But some van services do follow a scheduled departure time. Please check our listings for such services.

Having your entire group together for a long trip can add to the enjoyment. This can allow your group to discuss and even sing to your heart's content without fear of bothering others.

Just like taxis, the advantage of travelling by van is that you can ask the driver to stop by stores, supermarkets and other establishments. You can stop anywhere at any time since you are basically renting the van and not just paying for taxi fare. You can use this opportunity to take epic groupie pics at local landmarks and tourist spots.

Vans are especially useful when travelling with large and sensitive equipment like photography setups and large computers. Trunks and compartments might not be a safe holding area for fragile packages. Placing them inside the roomy and well-padded interior of van will make it more secure and safe.
