Koh Lipe,Thailand

Koh Lipe (Thaiเกาะหลีเป๊ะ) is a small island in the Adang-Rawi Archipelago of the Andaman Sea, in the Satun Provinceof southwest Thailand, close to Malaysian border. The Thai name is transliterated in many different ways into English. The most common names are Koh Lipe, Koh Lipeh, Ko Lipey and Ko Lipe. Koh Lipe is on the border of the Tarutao National Marine Park and is directly south of the larger islands Ko Adang and Ko Rawi and about 50 km from the island of Ko Tarutao. It was settled by sea gypsies, originally from Malaysia, known as the 'Chao Lei' people or also known as Urak Lawoi.

Transfer to Koh Lipe via Khai Yai and Tarutao Island to see the beauty of the Andaman Sea.
While waiting for the speed boat transfer at Khao Yai.






In the boat,we enjoy the beautiful scenery of Andaman Sea..




And I enjoy the sea breeze so much and being vain! =)





Next,the speed boat stopped at Tarutao Island.



Such a breathtaking view!!


Before heading to Koh Lipe,the speed boat stopped by Koh Khai for us to see the beautiful and natural Stone Arch. Some of them even snorkeling here. 


And lastly we have to take another boat(it's like gondola) to transfer to Koh Lipe.





And finally we reach Koh Lipe! :D







The walking street.







At night,we sitting by the sea,chilling and chit-chating with friends and family.  
Starry starry night lying down underneath the sky and watch the twinkling stars and have some drinks while listening to my favorite folk music. How awesome is this spectacular view and romantic ambient. It's perfect if you have your soul mate with you. :)



Happiness is simple. There is only one thing,two say,three words,four you ;)


Some performance by the local for the purpose to provide entertainment.

The next day,we leave Koh Lipe for sightseeing of the beautiful 7-colour corals at Jabung Canel. We also went to several island such as Rawi Island for snorkeling. The weather was perfect,no scorching hot weather.Lucky us! Simply beautiful day. And there is no words to describe the beauty of the coral reef,pure stunning! 




We also went to Koh Hin Ngam,the whole small island is made up of different size of pebble. 

The local believed that when you can successfully build and arrange 13 pieces of the pebble together without falling. Then it indicates this is a good start of your year. Everything,your career,wealth,luck,health. Of which wishes you want to accomplish!

So,we try and try....
Mine!^^


They poured water on mine,it stand still! Aha.. very stable!






Koh Lipe is a very nice place! I will definitely come back to you! ;)
Till then, La-gon!
