Koh Lipe, the Maldives of Thailand 🇹🇭, the ceiling of Thai island beaches.

Thai island ceiling, you will really regret if you don't come, regret why you didn't discover this fairy island earlier! This sea is really too beautiful 🥳! 1️⃣Transportation ✈️ It takes 2 hours from Hat Yai to the pier, and then another 2 hours by boat to the island. If you arrive at Hat Yai airport early in the morning, you can take a car directly from the airport to the pier without going to the city. You can buy a car and boat ticket from Hat Yai to Koh Lipe on a certain online shopping platform, which costs about 180 RMB per person for one way. If you are on Phuket Island or nearby islands, you can also take a boat directly to Koh Lipe, which takes about 7 hours. 2️⃣️, Beach 🌊 On the island, there are three beaches in total. The sunrise 🌅 beach is suitable for watching the sunrise, the sunset 🌄 beach is for watching the sunset, and there is also a very lively Pattaya beach. The island is very small, and the main beaches can be reached within a 20-minute walk. Friends who don't want to walk can also take a TuTu. No matter where you go, the fare is 50 Thai baht per person. 3️⃣ Accommodation, 💰expenses Overall, the consumption on Libei Island is not low, and the prices are slightly higher than other popular islands. 7-11 is 30%-40% more expensive than other places. There are several thousand sea-view rooms and about a hundred hostels on the island. Libei Island is too small, so it is convenient to go to several beaches no matter where you stay. 4️⃣️ Play 🤿 There are many things to play on the island. A day trip to snorkel 🐟 costs about 700 baht per person, and the red coral 🪸 underwater is very beautiful. Scuba diving with oxygen tanks costs around 2000 Thai baht per dive. Kayaking is highly recommended, it's super beautiful to paddle on the glassy sea 😍. Friends with drones must bring them along, it's easy to capture stunning footage. We were very lucky and even saw 💧blue tears. We went out to sea in the evening and saw a sky full of stars✨ at night. When we went into the sea, our whole body was shining with blue tears, like a dream. However, the guide said that this activity is not allowed in Libei, so we had to go secretly. If you want to go, I can recommend the tour to you. 5️⃣️Overall, Koh Lipe truly lives up to its reputation as the ceiling of Thai islands. If you don't have high hotel requirements, like us, you can spend only 2.3 thousand RMB per person for a week of fun! It's really worth going! 😍😍😍

Kho Lipe, the first time I saw this small island was in the movie "Mechanic: Resurrection" starring Jason Statham. After watching the movie, I kept looking for this small island and finally found out its name - Lipe Island. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Maldives of Thailand. Perhaps for tourists, its popularity is not as high as that of Koh Samui and Phi Phi Island. However, the enchanting island, the blue sea and sky, the beautiful white sandy beaches, and the coral reefs that can be seen everywhere in the sea are enough to prove that this is a small island worth traveling thousands of miles for. Transportation to Lipe Island Why do people say it's a long journey to get here? In fact, you need to take all kinds of transportation, including sea, land and air, to reach this small island. It's 950 kilometers away from the capital city, Bangkok. I flew from Bangkok airport to Hat Yai airport in southern Thailand, and I booked a package ticket online in advance. From Hat Yai airport to Pakarra pier, there is transportation available. Of course, you can buy a ticket from the airport to the pier, but it's more expensive. It takes about 2 hours to get from the airport to the pier. After arriving at the pier, you need to wait for the speedboat to arrive. If you have time, you can go to the nearby 7-11 to buy some motion sickness medicine, snacks, beer and sunscreen (you must bring sunscreen). Everything is more expensive than other 7-11 stores, so if you want to save money, you can buy them in advance. It takes about 1 and a half hours to reach Koh Lipe after boarding the ship, which is quite long. After all, you have to pay the price of transportation to reach this paradise. Haha. After arriving at Koh Lipe, the boat will not directly land on the beach. A transfer station is set up outside the island where all boats must switch to smaller boats to reach the island. The ticket for the smaller boat is 50 Thai baht, and there is also a national park fee to be paid, oh, I forgot whether it is 200 or 300 Thai baht, and then take the smaller boat to shore. Lipe Island is divided into three main beaches: Sunrise Beach, Sunset Beach, and Pattaya Beach. If you like lively places, you can choose a hotel on Pattaya Beach, which is closer to Walking Street and has the finest sand at night markets. Sunrise Beach and Sunset Beach are relatively quiet. In fact, you can choose any beach. There are tricycles on the island, and each person costs 50 baht per trip. After all, the entire island is not large. Pedestrian street, here gathers restaurants, massage parlors, bars, travel agencies, as well as 7-11 and ATM machines on the island. If you haven't booked an island hopping tour, you can also choose to buy it here. Eating, drinking, and shopping are all possible. After dinner, you can have a drink at the beach bar and listen to live music, which is also a good choice. Koh Lipe is also a diving paradise in Thailand. Whether snorkeling or deep diving, you can see the colorful underwater world. You can also participate in island hopping, choose several islands and snorkeling spots to play, and then return to the walking street to enjoy Thai-style massage and lie on the bench to listen to the sea. This is the taste of life in Thailand. I always thought I wouldn't get tanned, but I didn't bring sunscreen before coming and ended up as dark as charcoal. So for those who are coming, remember to bring sunscreen and a waterproof phone case. The trip to Libei Island ends here. I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful, cozy, and leisurely little island.
