Trang is also 3 hours by road and speed boat from Koh Lipe, which is the same time its takes to travel from Hat Yai to Koh Lipe. Trang itself is very pleasant small town with some good food to eat and a friendly atmosphere. Trang Town is not, however, a place with any particularly interesting things to see.
