Hi is it possible to get from Koh Lippe to Bangkok (taking the last flight from Krabi maybe) in one day? Or should I allow two days? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

Traveling from Koh Lipe to Bangkok in one day is challenging but possible. The recommended route is to take an early speedboat from Koh Lipe to Hat Yai (usually departing around 9 AM) and then taxi or bus to Hat Yai Airport to catch flights to Bangkok. However, since the user must travel from Krabi due to return ticket constraints, they discuss taking a ferry back to Krabi and planning to catch an evening flight around 8 PM to Bangkok.

thank you everyone but we need to fly from Krabi because that is the second half of our return ticket. I know it is the long way round but I was thinking take the ferry back to krabi, taxi to the airport and catch a flight around about 8 at night, into bangkok, night at an airport hotel and flight the next morning out.

Early speed boat from Lipe, usually 9am. Take a private taxi or bus to Hat Yai airport. Can catch most flights after 3pm if you get the earlier boat. We use private taxi because they are quicker.

Isn't Hat Yai the closest airport to Lipe?
