    Poor You Eddie Mate LOL I did the "reverse fixture" - from Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe, and yes that speedboat ride was rocky as hell and I do remember few of the passengers being seasick. I actually only stayed 1 night in Koh Lanta after staying 3 nights in Koh Phi Phi Don, and then the ferry ride to Koh Lanta which wasn't too bad. When we did go from Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe, did you stop at a couple of small islands like Koh Kradan and Koh Muk? Because that is what we did spending 30 minutes on each island. I think my journey from Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe cost me around £32 but I did go around Feb 2018 and the rates were cheaper at the time

    Thanks for bringing back happy memories, Eddie. I done a similar trip back in 2019 but on a smaller, less powerful boat but it was still a white knuckle ride. I loved it though. Do you get the impression the boats are trying to outrun each other? That's what I got on my trip.
