SunTrips: Koh Lipe

Koh Lipe Thailand

Koh Lipe is a small island in the Adang-Rawi Archipelago of the Strait of Malacca, in Satun Province of southwest Thailand, close to the Malaysian border. 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. During high season there are several locations from which travellers can take a ferry or speedboat to Koh Lipe, including: Ko Lanta, Pak Bara, Phi Phi, Trang, and Langkawi. During low season, the only way to get to Koh Lipe is by speedboat from Pak Bara. Koh Lipe has three main beaches: Sunset Beach, Sunrise Beach, and Pattaya Beach. The calm, clear water makes Koh Lipe ideal for snorkeling, with 25 percent of the world's tropical fish species found in the area. Development on the island is rapidly growing to meet the increase in tourism, leading to issues with waste management, wildlife conservation, and energy supplies. Upon arrival at Koh Lipe you must pay a National Park admission fee and environmental fee. Koh Lipe is a relatively undiscovered paradise and is one of the most popular islands in Thailand.
