Koh Lipe Island Life & Diving Southern THAILAND
Tropical Island Life!! We made it to Koh Lipe, Thailand. A paradise that almost changed my life forever 10 years ago.
In 2009 I was at a stage in life where I needed a change. At the time I had been working almost 1 year for G Adventures at the Head Office Base Camp in Toronto. It was an amazing job and I still travelled a lot, but it didn't offer me the freedom I was looking for. I started searching and applying for new jobs.
One of the jobs I was able to land was as a diving guide on a small unknown island in Southern Thailand. One of those islands you only dream about, straight from the book, The Beach by Alex Garland. I was happy to nail it down and decided to go for it. Little did I know that same week I would also secure the job as Tour Leader for G Adventures in South America, a job I also really wanted at the time.
Thus history unfolded and I decided to decline the Diving Guide position on Koh Lipe instead moving to Buenos Aires and effectively changing my life forever. I never went to Koh Lipe, UNTIL NOW :)
I hope you like the video... and as always... I'll see you on the next one!!
Big shout out to Pura Vida Diving Koh Lipe for the amazing experiences Unda da Sea!!

KOH LIPE Thailand's MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND
Koh Lipe is a tiny tropical island located in the Andaman Sea just off the west coast of Thailand. We spent four days on this amazing island, the sky was blue and the water perfectly clear. Here we will show you two of my favourite beaches on the on Koh Lipe; Sunrise Beach, and Sunset Beach... oh and there's a fantastic snorkelling spot to explore here too!

Castaway Resort on Koh Lipe, Thailand. Castaway is a great combination of rustic and luxury. Located on Sunrise Beach the two story bungalows have a bed on the 2nd floor with a balcony.

Simplicity and over joy by Team Baker Tilly Malaysia (Penang Branch) 2018 trip for the beloved staff and management. The entire journey was organised and lead by Siau Ting, one of Baker Tilly staff, who had planned the entire trip in most desirous way and put up a good treatment and hospitality for all of us from the beginning till the end of the amazing beach retreats. A bonus was she able to speak Thai so well that we were deeply sorry that we leave up almost everything for her but she handled with care and honesty. A thousand appreciations shall goes to her.
Our trip begins with journey from Penang island towards the border at Wang Kelian. Wang Kelian is located within Perlis and one of the quietest Malaysia - Thailand border. It took about 2 hours by driving to reach the border from Penang and the passport verification is the shortest I've ever encountered (10 minutes including queue up time when we reached at 830 am - Malaysia Time).
Our Thailand's driver greets us at the border and we continues our journey towards Pakbara Pier. The pier is located north of Satun and only took approximately 40 minutes by driving from the border. Speedboat tickets are available from major ticket booth and the weak point that there were only 4 session available in a day unless you prefer VIP boat with premium price tag. You can book the ticket online at the following website :
The speedboat runs along slightly bumpy wave due to its speed and duration is within 110 minutes to reach Koh Lipe. Its an opened air boat with roof and you may experience some heats due to seats are squeezed uncomfortably.
Koh Lipe is an island paradise in the South Andaman Sea, famous for it's white sandy beaches and turquoise blue waters. It's considered small island with walking distance from resorts to resorts are made possible. There is only one multiple side by side shopping, dining and drinking district within Koh Lipe, namely the Walking Street. Koh Lipe has great snorkeling straight off all the beaches, but the best stuff can be seen on a boat trip to the surrounding islands.
We accommodate Akira Lipe Resort for 2 nights, one of the premium hotel with best services and facilities. It's a beachfront resort with multiple room had pool access. There are 3 pools altogether with gym and kids club as well. Breakfast was really good with plenty choices and resulted with an ideal energy filled and half day meals for all of us who had planned to snorkel for the day. The locals were friendly almost every corner and no doubt that Koh Lipe was the best paradise to stroll over the weekend.
Snorkelling and diving and even island hoping package can be purchase from most resorts and especially within the Walking Street. If you are hunting for Thai food and perhaps looking for happy hour, obviously this is the place for you in Koh Lipe.
We truly enjoy ourselves especially on snorkelling trip and bear in mind that the corals were so beautiful that we were reminded not to pollute their waters. Plenty of sea urchins can be seen every corner while your are diving and if you are lucky, you may encounter lobsters too. No hunting nor stealing the island treasure but you can get all these in the Walking Street :)
I hope you enjoy the video and you will have the chance to explore the same in the near future.
Feel free to navigate my other adventurous trip in Kingdom of Asia :
