Description
Koh Lipe (เกาะหลีเป๊ะ) is a small tropical island in the far south of Thailand in the Andaman Sea and is part of the Tarutao Marine National Park near the border with Malaysia. It is known for its powder-white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and colorful coral reefs, which are among the most beautiful snorkeling and diving spots in Thailand. The lively Walking Street, with its restaurants, cafés, bars, and small shops, forms the tourist hub of this car-free island, while the relaxed atmosphere and surrounding islands offer ideal conditions for relaxation and island hopping. Thanks to regular ferry connections, including from Langkawi, Malaysia, Koh Lipe is easily accessible and is considered one of Thailand’s most beautiful island paradises for nature lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and those seeking relaxation.
