Pay 500, Sleep with a 5 Million Baht View at Koh Lipe

When asked about the most beautiful place in the Thai sea, many friends would probably have the same answer as me: Koh Lipe.

Since I am in love with crystal-clear seawater, my ultimate dream is to go skinny dipping in the Maldives at least once in my life. But, since I can't afford to go to the Maldives, I decided to go to Koh Lipe instead.

In the middle of the rainy season, when it rains almost every day, hardly anyone would go to the beach. But I chose to go, wanting to see how beautiful and charming it would be during the rainy season.

When I arrived at Koh Lipe, what I saw was crystal-clear water that allowed me to see the sand at the bottom, just like a mirror, no different from the Hi Season, even though it was the rainy season.

For my stay this time, I opted for Satun Dive Resort. This resort is neither too small nor too big, and its unique hut-shaped structures are situated right by the sea, creating a distinctly "rasta reggae" vibe.

To put it simply, you're just a few steps away from the sea when you step out of your hut. More importantly, in addition to the crystal-clear water, the accommodation costs only 500 baht per night. That's incredibly cheap for Koh Lipe, not some random beach. Plus, the accommodation is right by the sea. Who would have thought that for just 500 baht, you could sleep with such a stunning view? You won't find this anywhere else. For accommodation and crystal-clear water like this, you have to go to Satun Dive Resort on Koh Lipe during the Low Season.

After a long journey, feeling tired and weary, it's time to relax. Leave behind the stress and loneliness, and jump into the water in front of your accommodation. The vast ocean, with only a few tourists around, feels like a private island.

Besides soaking in the water, Satun Dive Resort offers a variety of activities, including scuba diving, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).

SUP rental costs 150 baht per hour.

Kayak rental costs 150 baht per hour.

I chose to try SUP, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and watching the sunset.

The fleeting nature of joy is a constant reminder of the preciousness of time. During my travels, I often find myself wishing for more than the allotted 24 hours in a day. Each visit to this destination leaves an indelible mark on my memory, regardless of the season. However, the rainy season holds a special allure for me due to its unparalleled affordability. The laughter that punctuates this sentence underscores the lightheartedness and joy that permeate my experiences here.

Before we part ways, let's enjoy a cup of simple, home-brewed coffee with an extraordinary view.
