Would love to take a tour island hopping from Koh Lipe, your pictures look beautiful. My question is regarding the safety of solo female travelers? Janna, you will love Lipe!

We are going back ourselves in a few weeks. I would go to Koh Lipe alone no problem it feels totally safe. Let us know if you have any other questions about Koh Lipe. My husband and I first went to Lipe is and have been lucky enough to spend time there every year since There never used to be a street, just a dirt path, no lights and only a few places to stay on the island.

Elephant- on Walking Street by — which is also the Longtail Bar where you can have a lot of fun singing along with the local band or just meeting people.

Nee Papaya — just at the cross roads before you enter walking street, across from a pharmacy. Nee has been there since and her food is always good, cheap too! Have to say we had the best Penang curry there.

I could of picked up the bowl and drank the sauce… actually I pretty much did. It was at the end towards walking street, open on the sides in February, food was fantastic and cheap. There is another little place just before you come to the main entrance of walking street, from Sunrise. Kaffir on Sunrise is also really good. The Pad Thai lady close to the Pattaya end of walking street was really great but not sure if she will still be there.

We also head to La Luna for Italian, the food here is really goo and they have gluten free for those who happen to be celiac. Fish BBQ on Pattaya of course! Along with lots of bars to check out if you want to be out till the wee hours. Koh Lipe is our meet up holiday destination. Can you please advise of any places to rent which might house a few people.

Up to 6 adults and small child at this stage. Thank you for sharing a very informative post. U just made me adding Koh Lipe into my bucket list! It should be at the top of your bucket list.

I am planning to go to Koh lipe from langkawi end of the August. And I can find all the info from here!!

Thanks for this most helpful post to steer us in the right direction! Looks heavenly. Koh Lipe is heaven if you ask us. Did you plan a trip to Koh Lipe? When are you going? Where you staying? Thanks for all your advice.

Visiting Koh Lipe right now and loving the place. Jealous you were in Koh Lipe. Koh Lipe is a little pricey for things, i notice the prices at are a few baht higher than the mainland. But then when I look at where they are located and how the items got there I am okay with it. Where did you stay in Koh Lipe? Actually I have never been to Thailand and your guide is very comprehensive.

I have a trip planned to Thailand in 5 months and this is going to be very helpful and glad I found it. You are going to love Thailand! Where do you plan on all going when on your upcoming trip to Thailand? Glad we could help you out when planning your trip to Thailand hope Koh Lipe me the list.

What a great travelling block you have created! We have enjoyd to follow your trips all over world. We have also been this year in Eastern Africa and after that in Zanzibar.

Loved it and safari was such a grear experience! We were in Masai Mara and Laikipia. Want to go again! In coming February we are heading to Thailand. First to Koh Ngai and then to Koh Lipe.

We have read all your recommentations and mean to follow them. Have a enjoyable and safe travelling! Sounds like you have a had crazy and fun year of traveling. So stoked you guys both enjoyed Happy Vibe Bar on Sunrise Beach, was my fave afternoon hangout place for some chilled afternoon vibes! So to read all this great information is a very good guide through. We will take pictures and video to put on our blog too.

Let me know if Sunrise Restaurant is open. Well done! I was supposed to go to Koh Lipe last time I was in langkawi, but had to save up money.

Thanks Dave. Thanks for taking the time to write down all the info! Next time you get to Thailand hope you can find room in your schedule to visit Koh Lipe, and hope this guide can help plan your trip. The yoohoo pancake lady is so hilarious and the pancakes are delish! We stayed at DJL diving accommodation which was reasonable and on Pattaya beach. Amazing place xxx. So great to hear you loved Koh Lipe as much as we did. The yoohoo lady is hilarious.

We hope to get back to Koh Lipe again next year. Thanks for this comprehensive guide — it will definitely come into use. So many informations! Love this post. I was considering to stop there for a couple of days at the beginning of May and, after reading this, I have to go! The island is getting busier every-time we have been, so sooner than later is better.

Have fun on the beach! Koh Lipe looks great!! Finally, staying in Sunrise Beach, especially if you can afford a beachfront bungalow , is just a dream. Waking up right there at the beach, watching the beautiful sunrise and admiring the turquoise sea right in front of you all day long is just priceless.

Choosing the best place to stay in Koh Lipe can be an overwhelming task as the island has excellent resorts, fantastic hotels, and affordable hostels. To help you out, we wrote a guide to where to stay in Koh Lipe, click here and read it.

Are you ready for the best of Koh Lipe? This way you can decide for yourself what suits you better. Without a doubt, the main attraction here is Mother Nature with a generous dose of chilled-out vibe on top. Although many people enjoy doing this, Sunrise Beach is a very long one, so you can always find a spot to isolate yourself, do your meditation and yoga routine or just stare at the horizon while the show happens. They are both highly recommended by travelers.

I will talk more about things to do at Sunrise Beach in Koh Lipe later on. I have watched the sunset from two different beaches on the island, Sunset Beach and Bulow Beach. I liked them both, here are the facts about both of them. The Sunset Beach in Koh Lipe is totally worth going to. You will pass by the cute Buddhist Temple on the way there [if you have time, walk a little bit around the peaceful temple, remember to cover yourself with your sarong a little bit if you do so, to show respect towards the monks].

Finally, you will find a small sign pointing to Sunset Beach, go down the small path and there you are. There are a few options of accommodation there, and there is a cool bar called Happy Mojito. Just grab your drink and be happy! Just like in Sunset Beach, there are longtail boats available if you need a taxi boat anywhere around Koh Lipe. I actually accessed this beach from Sunset Beach. I arrived at Sunset Beach around lunch time and decided to walk over the rocks until the next little bit of beach, which is still considered Sunset Beach, where they have an adorable little vegan cafe [I will talk about it later on].

Although there are no bars or cafes right there, there is a big resort nearby with a live DJ playing at the beach and some cocktails going on. This area of the island provides you with that cool festival feeling. If you love the ocean, especially underwater life, I strongly recommend you to go scuba diving. Diving in Koh Lipe is fantastic as the coral reefs are quite preserved in the island surroundings. I chose to go diving with Pura Vida Diving, and the dive sites I visited were amazing.

The corals and fishes are very abundant and colorful, just the way I love. If you are not into diving, you have the option of joining a snorkeling tour, which has the benefit of visiting the islands around Koh Lipe as well.

Most of the programs cost between to THB. You can always just rent some snorkeling gear and go snorkeling from the beach as the island has beautiful coral reefs all around it. If you want to book your snorkeling tour in advance, you can do it online and choose a departure in the morning click here to book or afternoon click here to book.

We use World Nomads and SafetyWing. Just click on the name of the company and book your insurance now. If you need more information, read our Travel Insurance Guide here. A great way to keep it more personal and not having to join a tour to explore the reefs and beautiful spots in the Koh Lipe would be to rent a kayak or a SUP board directly from the beaches.

You can even adventure yourself and cross over to Koh Adang, but only if you are experienced, and please, check out the currents before doing so, as they can get very strong.

Otherwise, just take a longtail boat to this amazing neighbor island. Much bigger than Koh Lipe, Koh Adang is pretty much inhabited, I believe there is only one resort on the entire island. Koh Adang is still covered in lush green forest, and it has incredible and empty beaches to offer you, along with stunning coral reefs as well as a beautiful track to a waterfall and a viewpoint where you can entirely spot Koh Lipe from.

Some of the snorkeling tours will take you there, but you can also adventure yourself there by catching a taxi boat instead, which will cost you about THB each way.
