Koh Lipe, Thailand’s Hidden Paradise

🛥 Getting There - It isn’t fast or easy to get to Koh Lipe. We flew into Langkawi, Malaysia and took a ferry down to Koh Lipe. The ferry took only about 2 hours and it was calm and relaxing. When we arrived a smaller boat brought us to the shore because it is too shallow for a ferry. Upon arrival we passed immigration and payed 200 Bath National Park fee and proceeded to our hotel.
The other way to get to Koh Lipe is longer, and less convenient. You can fly into Hat Yai airport, Thailand and take a taxi to a bus station from which you need to take a minivan to port and then take a speedboat which is very loud and shaky to Koh Lipe. There is a good chance you’ll get wet too.
After Koh Lipe we went to Hat Yai so we experienced it as well. Not a nice journey.

🐠 Attractions - The main attraction of Koh Kipe is of course the beaches with shimmering blue water, snorkeling, diving kayaking, standup paddling and island hopping snorkeling trips.
We took a half day trip and visited 5 location for snorkeling including a remote and wonderful sandy beach where we had lunched and took a break. You can go snorkeling right offshore and that’s exactly what we did.

🏨 Hotels - We stayed at a modern hotel right on the walking street with air conditioning.
I strongly recommend staying at a place with air conditioning because it can get extremely hot and if you stay in a hut 🛖 on the beach, you won’t know where to hide from the heat.

🛍 Shopping - Walking street offered a lot of shops with food, clothings and souvenirs and a 7-Eleven for a clean air conditioning environment where you can buy precooked food and snacks. Don’t forget to try Koh Lipe’s ultimately delicious Mango Sticky Rice ❤️

Koh Lipe is truly a perfect destination for an ultimate beach vacation 🏝Enjoy
