Koh Lipe (sometimes referred to as Ko LeePay or Koh Lipeh) and meaning Paper Island is a small island in the southern part of the Thai Andaman Sea. It forms part of the Tarautao National Marine Park, a large group of over 70 islands. Koh Lipe is part of a small cluster of islands called the Butang Islands.
Your yacht charter here will enable you to choose from 3 main beaches on Koh Lipe, the most popular being Pattaya Beach with a wide variety of places to drink and eat and plenty of lively nightlife. Sunrise beach has quite a few resorts and Sunset Beach being the smallest and least touristy. Wherever you are on the island you are only 15 minutes from a beach. The snorkeling is out of this world especially off Sunrise Beach with 2 tiny islands, Koh Kra and Koh Usen crying out to be explored.
The dive sites are also phenomenal, with plenty of dive shops on Koh Lipe all offering a similar standard and service. Koh Lipe offers world class sites with wrecks, coral reefs and amazing sea life. If all this sounds like too much then head for a beach bar offering beach mats, pillows, cold beers and generous cocktails all on a reggae soundtrack. Every trip to Koh Lipe should include watching the sun set at Sunset Beach, shortly followed by a stop at Jacks Jungle for cocktails. The choice of cuisine is endless and even the fussiest of eater can find something to whet the appetite after a tough day on the beach!
