Was koh lipe worth it worth all the effort?

#kohlipe #thailandtravel #thailandislands #islandvibes #islandlife
I spend 2 night on Koh Lipe. I have been waiting years to go here so I figured I would go all out and get a oceanfront bungalow. I will give you me assessment of the trip.

My name is Brian but everyone calls me Greeny. I retired in January of 2020 after working 30 years in Law Enforcement. I wanted to retire young enough to be able to do some of the things I always dreamed about! I knew I wanted to travel extensively and retire somewhere warm and exotic I sampled a ton of places in the Caribbean, Panama, Colombia, Turkey but set my sights on Thailand.

Awesome video! Looks like a great place to hunker down until the smog lifts in the mainland

[@GreenyTravels]

It was beautiful

[@Thai.Farang]

There's not many places in Thailand that I've never been to, but Koh Lipe is one of them. It looks absolutely spectacular. Great video Greeny.

[@GreenyTravels]

It should be high on the list

[@juliejules5430]

I was there a few weeks ago for a just over a week and our room was sort of opposite yours.. it’s not beach front as there is only one true beach front room there, right opposite the restaurant on the beach. We also sat at the same table with my feet up on it. You can’t rent a scooter there either, it’s for residents only. You’re on Sunrise beach and it’s beautiful if you’re up for it. Pattaya beach is sunset beach and that’s also beautiful. 200bht to land on the island for 5 days but we spent just over a week, I spoke to ppl who had stayed for 3 weeks without paying more. They don’t check when leaving.

[@GreenyTravels]

Wow. 3 weeks there would be amazing. Loved that resort. Next time I would stay back from the beach too. Don’t think it was worth the extra cash

[@StanDaFan]

Great video as usual

[@GreenyTravels]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@thomasr53]

What a beautiful place, thats going on the list for our next trip there. Greeny, make sure you have the curtains closed if you have that bath 😂😂😂

[@GreenyTravels]

lol. I bathed in the ocean

[@RichieRich2025]

I just saw this video. KZbin showed it to me and then I click on my subscription and I’m gonna have to keep checking because they keep taking notifications off. It happens sometimes on some channels now I gotta catch up on all your videos. 🙌🏻

[@PaulCousins-ko3jd]

🥰ferry trip aside, Koh Lipe looks just fab, looks like a great side trip ☺️👏🏾

[@GreenyTravels]

Amazing. I’d do it again

[@talast2000]

wow, a very definitive +++ positive recommendation from greeny, for sure a rare moment.... how was the internet speed from the wi-fi and the cellphone on the island?

[@GreenyTravels]

Not good internet. I could not upload

[@aitormolinerobozas-urrutia2465]

Is a paradise yeah! I remember all the stray dogs around my bungalow on sunrise beach. At least they have clinic and vaccine for rabies just in case, they will pick up your money with a lovely smile

[@GreenyTravels]

I did t see too many stray dogs. Nothing like on my morning well’s in Na Jomtien. Dogs everywhere

[@mitchtop3827]

The beauty of the water is blinding! Like straight out of a dream 😊

[@GreenyTravels]

It is. The best!!

[@EarthCamper]

I am really blown away by koh lipe beach .....what a beautiful island.

[@GreenyTravels]

It’s so amazing!!

[@ronaldsuluki8732]

If you have the chance go to On the Rocks restaurant. You need to get a scooter taxi and walk up to the resort on the side of the hill. Beautiful views and great food.

[@GreenyTravels]

Thank you

[@colemant6845]

MI Greeny on the Global Roam.. Love it! Like how you enhanced the videography of your videos... "NO Taylor Swift music please"... LOL... Share your cost in USD only for the the majority of your viewers Please... We live vicariously through YOU Greeny! Well Done!

[@GreenyTravels]

Thank you.

[@DaUloi]

Wow that's far out there. Haven't heard of this place yet.

[@ronaldsuluki8732]

I advise going in high season. I was there Sept 2022 it was their low season still.

[@russdando5153]

Nice food at the steak house, but the mum and dad shops had fabulous value and flavour! 10 Moons is where I’ll stay next time

[@GreenyTravels]

Nice people working there

[@EGO0808]

In Koh Lipe the saying goes: ‘life’s a beach’. So nice, tranquil and just how a small island with a beach should be.

[@GreenyTravels]

It’s awesome

[@Catari777]

Pls tell me! Where is the best place to go for me and my wife, Thailand or Vietnam. Where is it cheaper and best all-around place. Best regards from Scandinavia.

[@GreenyTravels]

Great question. Which food do you like more? I would say go to Samui and Krabi in Thailand. Phu Quoc Vietnam is great because you don’t have to deal with getting on online visa. If you like big city nothing beats Bangkok

[@seanmercer9292]

Koh Lipe still looks pretty nice. It's been 10 years since my only trip. It takes some time to get to, so still not TOO overcrowded, I guess. Pretty chilled still and more than enough beach bars, multiple beer accessibility ! It's probably a lot less smoke, no ?

[@GreenyTravels]

Was very nice

[@stevemahoney6493]

Lipe looks great. I'm piqued and will check it out. Hat Yai? Be careful. I used to work in Ipoh, Malaysia and did a border run to Hat Yai on a spur (usually drove to Betong). Stayed at a downtown hotel with a MacD's beside it. Turns out the McD had been bombed 3 months before by separatists, killing 1 or 2. Think this was 2011 but still...watch yourself. Nive vlog, thanks.

[@GreenyTravels]

I stayed a night in Hat Yai. Was cool

[@tuffynor]

Koh Lipe super stunning Island.

[@GreenyTravels]

It is.

[@CambonGael]

I am confused… is it coral island or koh lipe? It’s quite different location.

[@GreenyTravels]

Koh Lipe. I went to coral island previously

[@TimeToTravel-u2x]

First!😂

[@GreenyTravels]

Thank you

[@TimeToTravel-u2x]

@GreenyTravels Thanks for being normal...telling the truth about living there...most lie about it and never bitch and moan about anything..at that point you know they aren't being truthful!..

[@GreenyTravels]

I have a love hate relationship with this place. Pretty much everywhere I go. Maybe one day I will stumble into the perfect paradise.

[@theequalizer4875]

Hey Greeny...I'm from 15 minutes South of Hatyai going to toward Malaysia border...🤓

[@GreenyTravels]

Nice down there. I’m definitely going back to hat Yai and spend maybe a week exploring the area.

[@timwalker2458]

Went to Lipe after Lanta. Give me Lanta every day. Far to many people on Lipe for a small island.

[@GreenyTravels]

My girlfriend was on Lanta yesterday. Said a bit crowded too. But it is Chinese new year

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

No prices?

[@GreenyTravels]

I definitely need to start adding that more. A lot of people like to know. I just don’t even pay attention to it generally because everything is so cheap here. I did show massage price lol. Room was about $112 a night

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

@@GreenyTravels Hi. Prices are interesting because they are often the determining factor of whether a room/restaurant/area is in my budget, and thus whether I will go there or not. - Cheers.

[@GreenyTravels]

Thx. Will try to take more notes to add later in vid

[@ratnoinamaew7822]

Does anyone know if you can get the boat from Langkawi to Ko Lipe and get 60 day VOA on Ko Lipe?

[@GreenyTravels]

Sorry. I’m not sure how long they were getting stamped in for. I assumed 60

[@gapwedge1742]

Koh Lipe looks really nice. How much did the Sea to Moon Resort cost per night? How much did that Italian dinner cost? Maybe I’m an oddball, but I like to know the cost of things.

[@Jack-2day]

search it on Google maps, all info & links there. Anywhere in the world! Cheers

[@GreenyTravels]

I just checked hotel. Was $113 a night

[@Resmith18SR]

Looks nice place to visit but to live there I would probably get bored. I like big malls, air conditioned, coffee shops, restaurants.

[@GreenyTravels]

Yea. Way too small unless you work there

[@StevenSacto]

My personal experience with Lipe is it's not worth it. It's more pricy and "trapped" in it's isolation. Great and amazing beaches. My wife is Thai and she said the people are not that friendly either. Not typical Thais, maybe influence from Malaysia? Easy to get around but since there's no cars and the motor taxis were crazy. Glad we went but won't return. Try Ko Lanta. That's my next island exploration

[@GreenyTravels]

My lady was on Lanta yesterday to sign up some people for insurance. Said lots of traffic. It is Chinese new year though

[@mikebaker4190]

That walk from the room to beach looked like quite the struggle. I will be doing the same struggle in march for a week. Good looking meal.

[@GreenyTravels]

lol. It’s a tough life 😂

[@fendermatt874]

No scooter hire on Koh Lipe

[@richardmartink679]

Thanks for changing the intro music! Really annoyed by that other one to be honest.

[@GreenyTravels]

Looks like it’s time to update the intro

[@bobwelo]

[@GreenyTravels]

Thx Bob

[@ละมัยชูถนนคาเล็ม]

You make nice videos but much, much too much ads. Crap in thai.....

[@GreenyTravels]

I don’t put the ads in. That’s KZbin.

[@upthearsenal3715]

seems like a nice guy but ex cop and bad music taste is suspicious

[@GreenyTravels]

lol. It’s all crap or you get copywrite strikes

[@ThatOneGuy-hp2pb]

SOI 6 lady say, " gLeeny, Koh Lipe money, why you don't play soi 6 short time golf"

[@GreenyTravels]

😂
