THAILAND'S MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND?/ KOH LIPE ( what to expect )

After leaving Hat Yai we spent half a day travelling to Koh Lipe. On the island we swam, ate, sunbathed and island hopped.

After checking out of our hotel in Hat Yai we took a pre booked van to Pak Bara pier, we then transferred on to a speed boat that took us over to the island of Koh Lipe stopping off at Koh Kai on the way.
We spent the first day snorkelling and eating before relaxing at a bar on Zodiac beach and watching a fire show.
On day two we took a Long tail over to the neighbouring island of Koh Adang where we climbed a mountain in heat that could only be compared to sitting in a volcano.

Originally from the Wirral, North West England we got married in 2012. After a few trips abroad we caught the #travel bug. In 2019 after 6 weeks in Japan we decided we were going to quit our jobs and take some time out to travel full time. After many delays due to the pandemic, in 2021 our dream finally came true and in November we set off on our journey.

Koh Lipe is the best island in Thailand along with Koh Phi Phi. I have been to Koh Lipe twice - the first was a day trip from Langkawi in Malaysia in Jan 2019 when I was staying in Langkawi for 1 week and stayed for 5 to 6 hours on the island before we headed back to Langkawi before sunset and the second time was a 3 day stay at Bundhaya Resort after spending time in Ao Nang, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta and then to Koh Lanta. Now the route from Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe was a long and bumpy speedboat ride but we stopped at Koh Kradan, Koh Ngai and Koh Muk along the way. I think the best route to get to Koh Lipe is from Langkawi in Malaysia - it is only less than 1.5 hour ferry ride

We only visited Lipe, Lanta and Adang on this trip 😁

[@stangoodvibes]

The two-tier pricing for Thais and Farangs happens everywhere, particularly national parks. It pisses some people off but I just look at it as a subsidy for locals. It can get more expensive (500 baht + 200 baht per day) for diving in Similan National Park for example, but what can you do? Also National Parks in Thailand aren't the same as Western National Parks. When someone says there is a well marked trail that just means you don't need a machete or a guide. You still need good shoes, tons of water, and to watch out for low trees (lol) and dangerous cut bamboo spikes etc.

[@LostKnox]

It doesn't really bother us either We have seen this in other countries too not just thailand so it is expected. Also we were silly enough to get rid of our boots when we left Europe to try and save space in our bags 🤦

[@stangoodvibes]

@@LostKnox Ah yeah. I packed mine 😁 good sturdy trainers are usually sufficient for hiking in Thailand tho. You can always buy a cheap pair and bin them when you leave

Ko Lipe looks beautiful. It's interesting. Another commenter mentioned this and Phi Phi were the most beautiful islands. Wow. Koh Phi Phi is a hideous ruined disaster, destroyed by rampant development. Ko Lipe I fear is headed that way. Hope I'm wrong.

[@LostKnox]

It really is a beautiful island. We worry a little about it too. There was a small waste area in the centre of the island that is obviously used to store rubbish. That area did smell a little. We have heard that before covid Lipe was really over crowded. I think we were lucky that we got to go when we did because it wasn't really that busy. 🤞 here is to hoping the island stays as beautiful as it was when we were there.

[@ezraormsby323]

I’m thinking of visiting there next month. I’m travelling solo though, worried I might get lonely lol, I do enjoy my own company though!

[@LostKnox]

There is an amazing bar on Zodiac beach. Loads of nice people there to mingle with 👍

[@ezraormsby323]

@@LostKnox ok cool, just booked for 7 nights, will check it out!

[@stangoodvibes]

Zodiac is pretty pretentious for such a small island, but it has its moments. However, the main bar area at night is along Pattaya Beach. Chuck a right at the end of the walking street and walk about 100m (we have our mountain bikes which makes it a bit easier at anything other than high tide) and you'll get to Monkey Bar and Cafe Du Lipe (our favorite because they make a mean negroni for 100 baht during happy hour 6-8pm). There are some fun other travelers around so if you OK with just saying Hi to anyone nearby you'll be fine. The other great way to meet people is diving and snorkelling trips to other islands (which are fabulous btw)

[@ezraormsby323]

@@stangoodvibes Cool, thanks for advice! So, you rent out bikes? Is that the best way to get around island?

[@stangoodvibes]

@@ezraormsby323 we bought our bikes over on the boat! However CastAway Resort rent bikes apparently. It solves two problems - one is that small tho Koh Lipe is, it's still 3km long and it can get very hot and tiring walking around. With a bike you can explore more and say, bike up the hill at the north end and walk down through the bush to Secret Beach. The other problem on Koh Lipe is the narrow roads that get clogged with annoying scooters and even worse, the 3-wheel sidecar scooters. The walking street shuts out vehicles from 6-10pm, but the rest of the day it can all be a pain in the @ss trying to walk anywhere. On a bike you are another vehicle so it's no longer an issue (and we still bike along the walking street after 6pm 😁) Another good tip is to stay somewhere central, ie where we are at Pooh Bar & resort under the big trees on the walking street. It's quiet (can't hear the longtail boats), out of the wind (Sunrise is very windy in the mornings atm), and both Sunrise and Pattaya are easily accessible (5 minute walk or 2 minute cycle). It's 2200 baht for their luxury room which is big and nice and includes breakfast. Pattaya Beach is a bit rocky and cr@p at anything other than high tide. Sunset is a bit rubbish. Sunrise can be windy. But if you bike to the very north end of Sunrise, park by and walk through the new resort being built (past Zodiac) you get the best swimming & snorkeling, no boats on the beach, and there is a awesome sandbar you can walk/swim to which is only a few inches deep at low tide. Great spot to watch the sunset from atm!
