This video shows the beautiful island of Koh Lipe, our favourite Thai island! This island is an absolute paradise and without many tourists, with the whitest sand beaches and clearest water in the whole of Thailand, this is a must-visit spot!

❤ Wow, Koh Lipe looks absolutely stunning! The crystal-clear water and vibrant marine life truly make it seem like the Maldives of Thailand. Thanks for sharing this incredible travel experience with us.

@syednizarimranshahabudin1299 11 месяцев назад

Today im snorkeling in the clearest places where all the beutiful fishes are and im excited its my first time

@nipadatongkumtae9872 Год назад

Another way to get to Koh Lipe is that you can travel from Hat Yai Airport which can fly from Suvarnabhumi Airport. At Hat Yai Airport, There will be a van traveling to Pak Bara Pier to continue the journey to Koh Lipe. And in the airport where you can buy a tour package including the car Speed boat fee and the cost of accommodation on Koh Lipe at an affordable price. (Or package on internet) I just visited in July. It's my favorite island and I will go back again in February. I'm glad to see you guys hanging out and doing clips here. I would like to invite everyone to experience the beauty of this island a lot. And I am glad to see you both back to Thailand..Thanks so much from one Thai people

@brothersman524 Год назад

Been there twice - once as a day trip from Langkawi in Malaysia in Jan 2017 and again as a 3-day visit from Krabi and Koh Phi Phi. It is definitely the Maldives of Thailand

@Joelfriend Год назад

Our favourite in Thailand for sure!

@senianns9522 Год назад

I was there in the late 80's No hotels or block houses. Only a few 'sea gypsies ' (Chao Lay) living on the beach in small wooden huts. Stayed on a friends yacht. Some 'skandies' came over asking us if we had any booze to sell, they wanted Vodka we had some but at our price ! As you say a long way to go to get replenishments!

@thojiro Год назад

Thai here. Agreed with everything you said. My fav beaches of all; Phuket, Krabi, Surin, etc are all good but I still like Lipe the most. Not many tourist bc it takes more than half day to get there. It’s definitely worth it.

Went there in 2012, the island was a paradise, but back then was already crowded with mass tourism. Must say i was there during Christmas. Anyway, we had a lo of fun there and the beaches were on the Top-3 in our 2-months trip to Thailand.

WOW, no way that's awesome! We are planning on visiting Langkawi very soon, it looks so beautiful Emilia went a few years back and she really wants to take me!

@calvinatdrifterstudio8438 Год назад

@@Joelfriend you'll love it! Langkawi is really great but it's very different than koh lipe. You can't really snorkel here, no coral at all, but you can see some waterfalls and jungle stuff. I think that's the main attraction for backpackers (and the rice fields look like Bali) When you come you should visit the very top of seven wells waterfall and swim. You can go right to the edge in this rock bowl and it's such a beautiful view! I think the most beautiful place to stay is anywhere near Tanjung ruh beach, that's where my house is, but it's difficult to go to the main downtown area (cenang beach) unless you have a scooter. You can also just camp on the beach. It's pretty normal here Edit: You should also visit the mangrove boat tour, skull beach (there is an abandoned museum in the jungle!), And the skytrex tour

@@calvinatdrifterstudio8438 When I was in Langkawi back in Jan 2017 staying in Pantai Cenang, I actually did a day trip to Koh Lipe from Telaga Harbour using the Bundhaya speedboat but I'm not sure if that is operational these days..

Ko Lipe, no thank you! Coming from other places to Ko Lipe was just disappointing high prices, low quality, unfriendly, indifferent and arrogant service stuff… That is Ko Lupe. The so called walking street is a driving street as well for crazy scooter and taxi drivers looking for their kick driving as fast and close as possible between the mass of people, who are scrolling up and down this street. This island has cristal clear water, and because of the beautiful beaches it could have been a real paradise, but rubbish (not on the beaches) everywhere in the middle of the island makes it suffer. Bye bye, and never again!
