The final quarter of the year marks the end of monsoon season, when the Andaman Sea's waves calm and crystal-clear skies are imitated by the pristine waters to the ocean once more. Ko Lipe, a small boomerang-shaped island in Satun Province in southern Thailand, is part of Tarutao National Marine Park and a true paradise for sea lovers. Its powdery white sand beaches slope gently into crystal clear waters, creating the ultimate relaxation destination. Ko Lipe truly deserves its reputation as one of Thailand's most beautiful islands.

Ko Lipe's most popular highlight is snorkeling, with options for both "inner reef" and "outer reef" excursions. Just 15-20 minutes from the island for inner reefs, and a few minutes further for outer reefs, you can discover remarkably pristine underwater worlds.

Besides marvelling at the stunning marine beauty, you can take boat trips to other islands to witness their unique characteristics. Visit Ko Hin Ngam (Beautiful Stone Island), which lives up to its name with beaches of perfectly rounded stones. Explore Ko Khai’s iconic natural stone archway that serves as the symbol of the Tarutao Marine National Park. Ko Adang, just 15 minutes from Ko Lipe, houses a marine park station amid pristine nature—perfect for peace-seekers and offering park accommodation and camping facilities. Finally, there's Ko Rawi, only 1 kilometer from Ko Adang but without accommodation, ideal for boat trips from Ko Lipe to snorkel and observe coral reefs.

Getting There: Fly to Hat Yai with THAI, then continue to Pak Bara Pier by minivan, followed by boat transfer to Ko Lipe. Book NOW.
