Before You Go
Book Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai online — popular slots fill 2–3 weeks ahead.
Pre-book Koh Lipe accommodation; Sunset Beach and Pattaya Beach resorts sell out in peak season.
Check speedboat schedules for Koh Lipe — services are weather-dependent and seasonal (Nov–May is best).
Arrange Hat Yai minivan + speedboat combo transfer via a guesthouse or booking site before Day 4.
Ask your Phuket hotel to set up a private beach dinner — needs at least 48 hours notice.
Good to Know
Always negotiate songthaew and tuk-tuk fares before boarding — agree on the price in advance.
Koh Lipe has no ATMs; bring enough Thai baht cash for your full stay on the island.
Dress modestly entering temples — shoulders and knees covered; carry a sarong in your day bag.
Grab is the Thai equivalent of Uber and works in Chiang Mai and Phuket — avoids tourist taxi markup.
Travel insurance is non-negotiable here — motorbike accidents and boat cancellations are common claims.
Koh Lipe is most accessible November through April; outside these months, rough seas may cancel boats.
For the honeymoon touch, mention it at check-in — Thai hotels often add flowers, fruit, or room upgrades at no cost.
