The azure sky, the crystal-clear seawater, and the fine white sand, this is the Maldives of Thailand. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes
and experienced it yourself, you wouldn't believe how beautiful "Koh Lipe" is, known as the Maldives of Thailand.
A million words wouldn't be enough to describe it, you have to see it with your own eyes and record it in your travelogue forever.
I guarantee that if you come to Koh Lipe, you will fall in love with it and want to come back again like me.
Don't believe me, if you have the chance, come and visit.
On Koh Lipe, there are 3 main beaches:
"Pattaya Beach, or Hat Ban Da Ya," is the longest beach on the island, stretching over 2 kilometers. It boasts fine, soft sand and is the most crowded of the three beaches.
"Sunset Beach" offers stunning, unobstructed views of the sunset, allowing you to witness the sun gradually dip below the horizon in all its glory.
"Sunrise Beach" is a beach where you can watch the sunrise beautifully.

FB: https://www.facebook.com/boysuperzaDay 1 Friends are ready. Let's explore Koh Lipe with me. Mr. Carrying a camera to travel
Traveling to Koh Lipe is not difficult at all, but it does take several steps. I live in Chiang Rai and I can still travel there.
AirAsia now offers direct flights between Chiang Rai and Hat Yai, with one flight per day from Chiang Rai to Hat Yai.
Departing at 8:45 AM and arriving at 10:35 AM, and on the return trip from Hat Yai to Chiang Rai, departing at 6:00 AM and arriving at 8:15 AM. The journey takes approximately 2 hours.
After getting off the plane, you can take a van or taxi at the airport, depending on your budget, to travel to Satun province.
To board a boat to Koh Lipe at Pak Bara Pier, Satun Province.
There are many speedboat trips to Koh Lipe.
The ferry departs at 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 1:00 PM, and the last ferry is at 3:00 PM. The fare is 600 baht per person per trip.
Upon arrival at Koh Lipe, you will need to disembark at the floating pier in front of the island. From there, you can take a long-tail boat operated by local villagers to reach the island itself.
The fare is 50 baht per person (to generate income for the islanders).
The day I arrived was a Friday. There were quite a lot of people, and I had to wait for the boat on the pier for quite a while. Most importantly, it was extremely hot.
Upon arriving at Koh Lipe, we checked in at the resort we had booked.
This time we booked a stay at Sita beach resort & spa Koh lipe for 2 nights.

The atmosphere on the way to the room, I can see the sea view as well.
The room is very spacious.
After putting my things in the room and resting for a while,
It's 5:00 PM, time to head out to Sunset Beach to catch the sunset.
By guiding and recommending beautiful sunset viewing spots.
From our lovely guide, Bee, from Sealection.
While waiting for Nong B, I took a walk on the beach. Just in front of the beach, I could already see coral and fish.
The water is very clear.
There is a small sea gap in front of the beach.
And then it was time to walk to the sunset viewpoint, which is on the other side of the island.
A short walk from Sita beach resort, approximately 500 meters.
But you have to walk up a hill a bit, I'm tired from climbing this hill.
Wow, it's so beautiful! It was definitely worth the tiring walk to get here.
The beautiful sunset has been admired.
To keep the army marching, we need to find some delicious food at Koh Lipe Walking Street.
Today is a full moon day. The moon on Koh Lipe is very beautiful.
The seafood is quite fresh and the portions are very large.
Don't miss roti and teh tarik when you arrive at Koh Lipe Walking Street. There are many shops to choose from, so just take your pick and enjoy!
But I highly recommend this restaurant. It's very crowded.
The atmosphere at Walking Street Lipe is quite lively, with a lot of people.
There are many things for sale, including food, pubs, bars, and handmade items.
At the end of the walking street, you will find a pizza restaurant. This restaurant is delicious and should not be missed.
After enjoying the walking street on Koh Lipe, I went back to rest and recharge for tomorrow's diving adventure. Day 2: Today is all about diving!
Bee told us to meet her at 9 am in front of the resort to take a long-tail boat to go diving.
Today's Sealection diving program is:
Dive both outside and inside zones in one day.
Point 1 Hin Sorn Island
Point 2: Ao Phai
Point 3 Ao Kamnan This point has a lot of soft corals and a lot of clownfish.
Point 4, Ko Phing, the diving spot that I think is the most beautiful. The water was clear when I went, and there were no people, but the current was quite strong.
The atmosphere along the way to point 5
Point 5 Monkey Island On the island there are a lot of monkeys, but what you should not do is feed the monkeys.
Point 6 Koh Rok Loi, a stopover for taking pictures. The sea water around Koh Rok Loi is very clear.
Many thanks to our beautiful model for the trip, Nong Ja. And also for the big, beautiful hat.
Before heading to point 7, let's stop for lunch first. On any beach.
No name, no people, super private.
Sealection has prepared delicious food for you to enjoy.
You're full, you can continue your journey.
Point 7 Koh Ravi: This area has tree ruins for beautiful photos and you can also play in the water.
Point 8 Hin Ngam Island This island is beautiful as its name suggests.
And finally, at point 9, Jabang Channel, admire the beauty of the 7-color coral. It's truly magnificent!
After a long day of diving, we need to find something delicious to eat.
Come and chill out this evening to watch the sunset at The Cliff Lipe.
The view of this restaurant is 100 out of 100. The view is amazing.
The price of the food is considered to be reasonable for the view, although it is a bit expensive.
The three things we ate cost around 1,200 baht.
Below the restaurant, there is a private beach where you can take beautiful photos.
The Cliff Lipe's room atmosphere
After a satisfying dinner at The Cliff Lipe, we headed back to our accommodation to rest. The next morning, we woke up early to catch the sunrise.
Day 3, 5:30 AM. Let's meet at Sunrise Beach. I've made plans with my friends to meet there at 5:30 AM to watch the sunrise.
It takes about 45 minutes to walk from my accommodation, which is quite a distance.
Walk along the beach, past the walking street, and you'll reach Sunrise Beach in no time.
Many people woke up to watch the sunrise.
While walking back to my accommodation, I took some photos of the morning scenery at Koh Lipe.
The fun time on Koh Lipe is over. I went back to pack my things and went ashore to sleep for another night in Hat Yai District. Leaving Koh Lipe, I continued my journey to Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province.
We will spend another night in Hat Yai tonight before flying back to Chiang Rai.
AirAsia has only one flight per day at 6:00 AM.
Those who have returned from Koh Lipe and stayed in Hat Yai must have missed out on capturing the beauty of
of the Diyul Islam Central Mosque, or simply the Songkhla Central Mosque
This magnificent mosque has been dubbed the "Taj Mahal of Thailand".
The last day, I woke up early to check in at 5 am to catch a flight back to Chiang Rai.
The first time in my life that I saw the sunrise from the plane. It was beautiful.
Bye Bye Lipe, one day we will meet again.
Thank you to everyone who follows the reviews from the "Camera Bag Travel" page.
See you again in the next review. Where will I travel next? Thank you very much.
