Koh Lipe, Thailand - SHOCKING Truths

[@geraldinevcb]

Great video! Just a tip: maybe lower the music or up the talking audio because I kept having to adjust my volume :)

[@livandlew]

Thank you and thanks for the feedback! Learning all the things on this new KZbin journey! Hopefully our video quality keeps improving 🫶🏻

[@lewisdeal4920]

I went to Koh Lipe in 2018 and stayed on sunrise beach, it was amazing! it was very clean too. maybe due to covid times beaches aren't being taken care of as much but will hopefully be back to normal soon when tourism picks back up!

[@livandlew]

Yes totally! We had heard similar, all the other beaches were being cleaned by the hotels that were on them so I think once the season is up and running it will be 🤗 would love to go back and see it once it’s high season!

[@marius2p]

Great video! Can you tell me how did you get the transfer from Krabi, did you booked it online? The transfer duration is 5h boat+bus or only the bus? Thanks!

[@livandlew]

Hi, no we booked it with a travel agent on the street in Krabi. It was a 5 hour bus and then the boat was a couple of hours. We booked the boat once we arrived at the port

[@marius2p]

@@livandlew thanks a lot for the info!

[@kmj480]

do you know if the water is still beautiful in July? I am planning on a visit soon!

[@livandlew]

I’m sure it will be as it was for us during off season!

[@Nkaujhmoobx]

Can you please share if you went at the beginning, middle, or end of October? Thanks!

[@livandlew]

It was actually the final week of September and very beginning of October we left

[@imjbm]

Thanks for the video! You say you were there in October. Do you remember in what days of the month? I Was hoping to go there in the last week of October.

[@Ginnyyy16]

I love your videos 😊❤

[@livandlew]

Thank you so much!

[@raudellaoktosia2061]

hello i would like to know how much is it in bath for snorkling tour. i'll be going to kohlipe in february thankyouuu

[@livandlew]

Hi! From memory I think a snorkelling tour is about £30-50 depending on how long you want to go for

[@clairecoles7680]

Omg we stayed in that exact same room back in 2018! We got ourselves locked in our bathroom had to get rescued by a passing member of staff by shouting over the wall

[@livandlew]

😂😂😂😂 how funny! Great room isn’t it!

@@livandlew lovely! We had a very friendly black puppy that visited too we had rain too, but our boat off the island was first Thai long tail to a platform then to the speedboat was really rough and getting into that long tail in 4ft of water really challenging (the things we do for Thailand time 😂)

[@EyesbyHannah]

Looks great - what month were you there? I'm thinking of going next week 🏖

[@livandlew]

We went in October

[@charlotteoakley3972]

what month was this in please?! planning on coming this year xxx

[@livandlew]

October 😊

[@charlotteoakley3972]

@@livandlew we were thinking first week of september, do you know if thats any less chance of rain? 🙂

[@livandlew]

@@charlotteoakley3972 I think it’s equally likely to have rain like we did. Thailand is so unpredictable weather wise. But it’s definitely rainy season in Lipe then

[@junyamada1323]

I was there about the same times you guys were..found a lot of broken glass on sunset beach. Be careful.

[@livandlew]

Oh gosh that’s not good! Hopefully when high season hit they sorted sunset beach out!

[@EMpathiCAP]

feels like a silly question but are people bringing luggage on the speedboat?

[@livandlew]

Yeah they are and the crew get it on and off for you

[@EMpathiCAP]

@Liv & Lew much appreciated :) looking forward to checking it out this spring

[@livandlew]

@@EMpathiCAP enjoy!!

[@AZD2169]

Can’t decide, Hua Hin, or Kohl’s Lipe.

[@Jimmy-lb1yc]

Not even a comparison. Koh Lipe is 1 million times better than Hua Hin. Koh Lipe is unreal

[@livandlew]

Never been to the first one I’m afraid 🙃

[@airkupoe9862]

If you want to see fish and clear water, Koh Lipe is for you. I also plan to go Koh Lipe next year 2023 in October

[@kellymorson4066]

Your experience is my worst Thai nightmare 😢 all that way for rain!

[@livandlew]

Yeah it’s not always ideal but it was still beautiful! That’s the gamble you take going in rainy / off season :) lucky we enjoy being under the water 🤣

[@kellymorson4066]

@@livandlew we’re going in march, hopefully more sunshine x

[@Jimmy-lb1yc]

Thailand in the rain beats any time of the year in the UK so I go dry and wet season haha

[@Jimmy-lb1yc]

@@kellymorson4066 You shouldn't see much rain (if any) in March

[@livandlew]

@@Jimmy-lb1yc likewise (hence we went in rainy season) but that doesn’t mean to say things in Lipe are always the same. During rainy season in Lipe lots of places actually close, including the marine national park (as we show in the video)

[@ozzy6ix-fix200]

Is it true that it’s cheaper on off season? I heard it’s pretty expensive Island!

[@livandlew]

I don’t think the prices are too dissimilar but accommodation will be cheaper

[@Jimmy-lb1yc]

Everything is the same all year round pretty much except the accommodation. It's only more expensive than other places because it's so remote so have to bring everything over by boat

[@livandlew]

@@Jimmy-lb1yc that’s not true - there’s a rainy season

[@Jimmy-lb1yc]

@@livandlew I never said there wasn't haha. He asked if it is cheaper in the low season and my comment is insinuating that the prices are the same all year round for things like food and drink but the thing that is cheaper is accomodation. Never once said there isn't a rainy season.

[@Imp_อิมป์]

It's sad with the rubbish but that's happening to all beaches in the world. I've heard trash hero have weekly rubbish collection volunteer work on mondays.

[@Imp_อิมป์]

A tip if someone is going. Try plan it during the full moon. The tide will be so low you'll be able to cross to the tiny island on foot

[@livandlew]

Didn’t know that thank you for sharing ❤️

[@diananovozhilova7345]

Please, what about the dogs? Are they dangerous? I am afraid of dogs.

[@livandlew]

There’s dogs everywhere in Asia. The same as anywhere with any animal, some are dangerous and some are not.
