This place was breathtakingly beautiful. Koh Lipe is located in southern Thailand very close to Malaysia, and to get there we had to take a bus for a while to a marina and then boat for about 3 hours from the mainland. My friend and I was there for about a week, and we just wanted to see as much as possible of the island during this time. The island has several different beaches and a village where all the restaurants and bars are, and you are able to walk around the island because it is not that big. We lived in bungalows by a beach called Sunset beach, but the most beautiful one was definitely Sunrise beach. The water is super clear and the sand was very soft. We spend days there and had lunch on a restaurant practically on the beach, which was amazing. One day we went on a boat trip to snorkel, visit small islands outside Koh Lipe, and on one of them, there were monkeys all over the beach. This day was without doubt the best one spent on Koh Lipe. I have never before seen such clear, beautiful water. Me and my friend went to almost every island in Thailand, but Koh Lipe was for sure the best one, especially if you are going there with family or a partner, because it is not as much party as the other islands in Thailand. Even though the boat trip took some time, it is totally worth going there if you are going to visit Thailand, I promise you that you will not be disappointed.
