Happy New Year everyone. I'm here on Ko Lipe tonight, going to party like it's 2099. Actually I'll probably just drink some wine, have dinner, edit a video and watch the fireworks later. If you want a taste of New Year's eve craziness in Thailand, here's one of my videos on Ko Samui nine years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWTWl2WurtOcapo Have an amazing 2023 filled with adventure. Cheers. 🍺😎✌

However, in Feb 2018 I did stay for 3 nights in Koh Lipe on my 3rd Thailand trip after staying in Krabi (Ao Nang) for 5 nights, then Koh Yao Noi for 1 night, then Koh Phi Phi for 3 nights, then Koh Lanta for 1 night before finally staying in Koh Lipe for the 3 nights

I bought the ticket from a ticket office a couple days earlier for 160 Malaysian ringgit which is $36 USD. And yes a 90 minute ferry ride to the island and then small boat ride from the boat to the beach, because there's no pier for the larger boat to dock at.

Any particular reason why you did not take the boat from Telega Harbour Marina, Langkawi to Koh Lipe? At least it is a shorter boat trip as well as a shorter taxi drive from Pantai Cenang to the harbour, instead of going to the yeti in Kuah
@GabrielTravelerVideos Жыл бұрын
I actually explained that when I was filming, then cut it out of the video during editing because it seemed a bit irrelevant. Basically it was because I was curious to see Kuah and the Eagle Square, and also there were more restaurants to choose from around there.
