Koh Lipe Guide

The most-southern island with white sandy beaches, crystal clear water and abundant marine life

Overview of Koh Lipe

Koh Lipe is a beautiful island in Thailand and is perfect for a tropical getaway. The island is well known for its clear waters, white sand beaches, and lush jungle vegetation. Koh Lipe is also a great place to snorkel and dive, with many reefs and fish to be found just offshore.

When planning a trip to Koh Lipe, it is important to note that the island is only accessible by boat. There are no airstrips or bridges connecting Koh Lipe to the mainland, so all visitors must arrive by ferry. The good news is that there are several ferry companies operating between Koh Lipe and the mainland, so getting to the island is relatively easy.

Once on Koh Lipe, there are plenty of things to do. Visitors can relax on one of the island’s many beaches, go for a swim in the clear waters, or explore the jungle trails. There are also several restaurants and bars on Koh Lipe, so visitors can enjoy some delicious Thai food and cold drinks.

If you’re looking for a truly unique experience, consider staying in one of Koh Lipe’s many bungalows. These traditional Thai houses are built on stilts over the water and offer amazing views of the surrounding islands. Most bungalows also come with their own private deck, perfect for relaxing in the evenings.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach vacation or an adventure-filled island getaway, Koh Lipe is the perfect destination. Use this guide to help plan your trip and make the most of your time on this stunning island.
