Tarutao National Marine Park has some of the best dive sites
in all of Thailand. Within easy boat reach of Koh Lipe are
hundreds of coral reefs with an amazing variety of huge hard
and soft corals. The corals and seas around Koh Lipe are full
of marine life, offering everything from turtles to huge rays.
Even if you aren’t a diver you can enjoy the marine world
drifting along the edges of coral reefs with a mask and
snorkel. Compared to other dive and snorkel areas there is
so much to see and no competition to see it.
Koh Lipe still has a lot of cheap back packers
accommodation, with places like Varin offering simple
bamboo huts close to the beach.
At the top end is Sita Beach with a swimming pool
and Castaway Resort with its 2 story breezy
bungalows which was described by the Lonely Planet
as ‘the most chic on Lipe’.
Tips for Travellers:
* If you are travelling from Hat Yai be in Pak Bara before 11
am to catch the speed boat.
* If you are travelling from Langkawi the boat journey is
shorter and there is a small efficient immigration on Koh
Lipe.
* There are no ATM's on the island so make sure you bring
enough cash for your stay, and then double it as you'll end
up deciding to stay longer!
* Varin 2 on Sunrise beach has the newest and cheapest
bamboo bungalow huts.
* Castaway resorts has the chicest accommodation
