Koh Lipe

Koh Lipe is a small resort island located in the southernmost tip of Thailand, in the Andaman Sea, near the Malaysian border. This boomerang-shaped island is part of Tarutao National Marine Park, famous for its beautiful beaches, white sand and clear blue water like Bulow, Pattaya, Sunrise, Sunset and Sanom. One of the best things you should do in Koh Lipe is to take a boat to the small islands (Ko Usen, Ko Cha Bang, Koh Rockroy) to enjoy the beautiful coral reefs and marine life. The hotels are located along the beaches around the island, while restaurants, bars and shops are concentrated in the central area of the island.
