Even so, the atmosphere is still much more relaxed than in other beach areas of Thailand and many say it is the smaller version of the famous Koh Phi Phi, being able to walk almost anywhere. But this is just the beginning; I still have many charms to tell you about this beautiful enclave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides having breathtaking crystal-clear waters, Koh Lipe wins over its visitors with the <strong>sunsets<\/strong> it offers from different vantage points. One of the most outstanding is North Point. As if that weren&#8217;t enough, its sand is white and fine. Snorkelling enthusiasts will also find Ko Lipe a paradise. Coral reefs, clear waters, and countless marine animals&#8230; Don&#8217;t forget your mask and snorkel if you set foot on its beaches. In fact, the corals of Koh Lipe are very healthy, much more so than in other parts of the country. If, in addition to all this, I tell you that this island is known as the &#8220;Thai Maldives,&#8221; I think I&#8217;ve just convinced you that it absolutely has to be on your itinerary to Thailand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-attachment-id=\"33618\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/thailand\/things-to-do-koh-lipe\/attachment\/koh-lipe-small-thai-island\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Koh-Lipe-small-Thai-island.webp?fit=1080%2C864&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,864\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Koh Lipe small Thai island\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Koh-Lipe-small-Thai-island.webp?fit=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Koh-Lipe-small-Thai-island.webp?fit=1024%2C819&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Koh-Lipe-small-Thai-island-1024x819.webp?resize=1024%2C819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Koh Lipe small Thai island\" class=\"wp-image-33618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Koh-Lipe-small-Thai-island.webp?resize=1024%2C819&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Koh-Lipe-small-Thai-island.webp?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Koh-Lipe-small-Thai-island.webp?resize=768%2C614&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Koh-Lipe-small-Thai-island.webp?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-to-koh-lipe-from-bangkok-phuket-krabi-and-malaysia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-to-Koh-Lipe-from-Bangkok-Phuket-Krabi-and-Malaysia\"><\/span>How to get to Koh Lipe from Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi and Malaysia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Koh Lipe is part of the <strong>Adang archipelago<\/strong>, which is made up of ten islands. All of them are uninhabited (except Koh Lipe) and are part of Tarutao National Park, which includes fifty other islands. Flying is completely out of the question, as it&#8217;s so small it doesn&#8217;t have an airport. However, it&#8217;s very easy to get there from various parts of southern Thailand, as well as from Malaysia, the neighbouring country that shares a southern border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the latter. The most common way to visit Koh Lipe after a trip to Malaysia is to depart from Langkawi Island or Penang Island. From Langkawi, there are direct ferries. From Penang, there are several options. The fastest and most recommended is to fly to Langkawi and then take the ferry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-attachment-id=\"33617\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/thailand\/things-to-do-koh-lipe\/attachment\/how-get-koh-lipe\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-get-Koh-Lipe.webp?fit=1080%2C864&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,864\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"How get Koh Lipe\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-get-Koh-Lipe.webp?fit=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-get-Koh-Lipe.webp?fit=1024%2C819&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-get-Koh-Lipe-1024x819.webp?resize=1024%2C819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How get Koh Lipe\" class=\"wp-image-33617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-get-Koh-Lipe.webp?resize=1024%2C819&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-get-Koh-Lipe.webp?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-get-Koh-Lipe.webp?resize=768%2C614&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-get-Koh-Lipe.webp?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting <strong>from Bangkok<\/strong>, the capital of Thailand, to Koh Lipe is also easy. These are the fastest options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fly or take the train to Trang. Once there, head to Hat Yao Pier to catch the ferry to Koh Lipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fly or take the train to Hat Yai. Then, go to Pak Bara Seaport, where you&#8217;ll catch the ferry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the trip from Bangkok to Koh Lipe cheaper, many travellers <a href=\"https:\/\/trips.passporterapp.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">book combined trips<\/a> (flight\/train + bus + ferry). Keep this in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, from both Krabi and <a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/thailand\/things-to-do-in-phuket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phuket<\/a>, there are direct ferries and others that make stops, but getting there is fairly easy in both cases. However, since they are quite far from Koh Lipe, the journey is usually quite long. Therefore, they aren&#8217;t the best starting points for reaching the island. Many travellers even recommend taking a bus to Trang or Hat Yai from Krabi or Phuket and then taking the ferry from there, especially if you don&#8217;t usually enjoy sea travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-time-to-travel-to-koh-lipe-and-how-many-days-to-stay\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best-time-to-travel-to-Koh-Lipe-and-how-many-days-to-stay\"><\/span>Best time to travel to Koh Lipe and how many days to stay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>High season in Koh Lipe is from November to April.. Although there are more tourists and prices rise, it&#8217;s the best time to visit the island, as the weather is ideal, and it hardly rains. If you decide to visit during this period, be sure to book well in advance because everything fills up quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From May to October<\/strong>, although there are far fewer tourists and prices drop, rain is common. In addition, many establishments close, and you won&#8217;t find as many ferries to take you to the island because the sea is usually rougher. In fact, sometimes services are canceled, making it impossible to reach the island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four days is the minimum that tourists recommend spending on the island. And sometimes it&#8217;s said that if you can stay longer, all the better. This is because you&#8217;ll spend practically all the first and last days travelling to and from Koh Lipe (although that will depend on where you&#8217;re departing from). But that&#8217;s not the only reason. For example, if you want to take a day trip to Koh Adang, that will take up a whole day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-and-do-in-koh-lipe-in-2-3-days\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-and-do-in-Koh-Lipe-in-2%E2%80%933-days\"><\/span>What to see and do in Koh Lipe in 2\u20133 days?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-koh-lipe-beaches-pattaya-sunrise-and-sunset-beach\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Koh-Lipe-Beaches-Pattaya-Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach\"><\/span>Koh Lipe Beaches: Pattaya, Sunrise, and Sunset Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the three most important and spectacular islands. Since it&#8217;s a small island, you can walk from one to another. <strong>Pattaya<\/strong> is where most of the resorts and buildings are located, making it the island&#8217;s hub. One of the things that most attracts visitors is its sandy texture, which doesn&#8217;t burn even during the hottest hours of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunrise Beach, for its part, stands out for its incredibly clear waters and for being one of the best spots in the area for snorkelling, especially around the islets located just offshore. It&#8217;s quieter than Pattaya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunset Beach, finally, remains relatively empty during the day, as it&#8217;s smaller than the others. But after six in the evening, it transforms. Everyone comes to sit on the sand to watch the romantic <strong>sunset<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-snorkelling-and-diving-in-the-reefs-of-ko-lipe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snorkelling-and-diving-in-the-reefs-of-Ko-Lipe\"><\/span>Snorkelling and diving in the reefs of Ko Lipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-attachment-id=\"33619\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/thailand\/things-to-do-koh-lipe\/attachment\/snorkelling-and-diving-koh-lipe\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Snorkelling-and-diving-Koh-Lipe.webp?fit=1080%2C864&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,864\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Snorkelling and diving Koh Lipe\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Snorkelling-and-diving-Koh-Lipe.webp?fit=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Snorkelling-and-diving-Koh-Lipe.webp?fit=1024%2C819&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Snorkelling-and-diving-Koh-Lipe-1024x819.webp?resize=1024%2C819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snorkelling and diving Koh Lipe\" class=\"wp-image-33619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Snorkelling-and-diving-Koh-Lipe.webp?resize=1024%2C819&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Snorkelling-and-diving-Koh-Lipe.webp?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Snorkelling-and-diving-Koh-Lipe.webp?resize=768%2C614&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Snorkelling-and-diving-Koh-Lipe.webp?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In both Pattaya and Sunrise Beach, snorkelling is possible. Its enthusiasts love swimming in these waters, as you don&#8217;t have to go too far out to enjoy the wonderful underwater flora and fauna of Koh Lipe. In fact, at Sunrise Beach, very close to the sand, you can already start to see clownfish and anemones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides snorkelling, you can also go scuba diving in Koh Lipe, and there are several schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you love Thailand&#8217;s nature and want to continue discovering it, find out here everything to see in Khao Sok, one of the best national parks in the country where you can immerse yourself in the authentic Thai jungle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-boat-excursions-to-islands-and-marine-parks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boat-Excursions-to-Islands-and-Marine-Parks\"><\/span>Boat Excursions to Islands and Marine Parks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most tourists who visit Koh Lipe choose to take one of the two excursions offered to the neighbouring islands; however, if you love the experience, you can join both. The first one takes you to <strong>Koh Adang<\/strong>, a deserted island, but much larger. It is mostly covered in forest and beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excursions to Koh Adang are done on longtail boats (like the one pictured below), which take visitors to its shores so they can snorkel and enjoy the fascinating underwater world. But the charm of this island isn&#8217;t just in its waters. Its mountainous terrain offers incredible views from several viewpoints, with Chado Cliff being the most famous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second most popular excursion is to <strong>Koh Rawi<\/strong>. It&#8217;s farther away than Koh Adang, and many visitors agree that its waters are even more beautiful and the sand is softer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the previous one, it also has viewpoints and hiking trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both cases, the excursions can also stop at some of the small uninhabited islands that are also part of the archipelago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides boat trips, it&#8217;s common to rent <strong>kayaks<\/strong> on Koh Lipe to take short independent excursions and explore the island&#8217;s coast more freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-sleep-in-koh-lipe-best-areas-and-types-of-accommodation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-sleep-in-Koh-Lipe-best-areas-and-types-of-accommodation\"><\/span>Where to sleep in Koh Lipe: best areas and types of accommodation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although accommodation prices in Koh Lipe are higher than in the rest of Thailand during peak season, there are options for everyone. There are options for all budgets, from budget bungalows to resorts. Most are located on the three beaches mentioned earlier. However, you can also find some on the island&#8217;s main street (Walking Street), as well as in the more secluded western area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best advice we can give you about where to stay in Koh Lipe is that location is the least important factor. Being a small island, unlike other places where choosing a hotel close to the areas you plan to visit is crucial, here you can prioritize whether you like the hotel and the views it offers, as well as whether it fits your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-staying-near-pattaya-beach-in-koh-lipe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Staying-near-Pattaya-Beach-in-Koh-Lipe\"><\/span>Staying near Pattaya Beach in Koh Lipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we&#8217;ve already mentioned, Pattaya is the island&#8217;s main beach. It&#8217;s the one with the most atmosphere and where the main accommodations are concentrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quiet-bungalows-in-sunrise-and-sunset-beach\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quiet-bungalows-in-Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach\"><\/span>Quiet bungalows in Sunrise and Sunset Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunrise Beach is usually the most popular area for travelers in terms of accommodations. Sunset Beach, on the other hand, while having fewer accommodation options, is a favorite among backpackers, as it&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll find the most affordable bungalows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also be interested to know that you can stay on Koh Adang, the island near Ko Lipe from which some boat trips depart. If you want to feel like you&#8217;re on a deserted island, but with all the comforts of home, it&#8217;s definitely for you. There is only one resort, and it is truly wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-attachment-id=\"33622\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/thailand\/things-to-do-koh-lipe\/attachment\/sunrise-and-sunset-beach-koh-lipe\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach-Koh-Lipe.webp?fit=1080%2C864&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,864\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Sunrise and Sunset Beach Koh Lipe\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach-Koh-Lipe.webp?fit=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach-Koh-Lipe.webp?fit=1024%2C819&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach-Koh-Lipe-1024x819.webp?resize=1024%2C819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sunrise and Sunset Beach Koh Lipe\" class=\"wp-image-33622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach-Koh-Lipe.webp?resize=1024%2C819&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach-Koh-Lipe.webp?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach-Koh-Lipe.webp?resize=768%2C614&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Sunrise-and-Sunset-Beach-Koh-Lipe.webp?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-traditional-cuisine-of-koh-lipe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traditional-cuisine-of-Koh-Lipe\"><\/span>Traditional cuisine of Koh Lipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is clear: you can&#8217;t leave Koh Lipe without having a coconut on one of its beaches. But, apart from that, the typical food of this island is fish and seafood. From <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Passporter, your travel organizer<\/a><\/strong>, we recommend that you try the <strong>grilled fish and seafood<\/strong>, as well as the <strong>Gypsy-style seafood salad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name comes from the <strong>&#8220;sea gypsies&#8221;<\/strong> (also known as the Chao Ley), the native inhabitants of the island. Their origins date back to the Chinese migrations that took place more than 4,000 years ago. I invite you to discover more about them if you visit Koh Lipe, as their history is fascinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the many interesting facts we can find about them, one is that they speak a language called Rawi, a mix of Malay and Thai. But, because they don&#8217;t have a written language, they transmit all their knowledge orally from generation to generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-walking-street-shops-bars-and-restaurants\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walking-Street-shops-bars-and-restaurants\"><\/span>Walking Street: shops, bars and restaurants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both on the beaches (especially Pattaya Beach) and on Walking Street, the main street of Koh Lipe, you&#8217;ll find a wide variety of restaurants and shops. But it&#8217;s on this beach where we recommend trying the seafood delicacies served on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-practical-tips-for-traveling-to-koh-lipe-money-clothing-and-transportation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical-tips-for-traveling-to-Koh-Lipe-money-clothing-and-transportation\"><\/span>Practical tips for traveling to Koh Lipe: money, clothing, and transportation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Book in advance<\/strong>. Koh Lipe is already a very popular tourist island. Although it hasn&#8217;t yet reached the level of other islands in the country and its popularity isn&#8217;t as widespread (because it became known later), you could find yourself without accommodation if you&#8217;re not careful. And we&#8217;re not just talking about booking accommodation, but also ferries, as the number of seats is limited. Furthermore, when it comes to boat trips (both excursions and trips to the island), it&#8217;s usually cheaper to book them online in advance than to buy them on the spot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bring cash<\/strong>. Although there are ATMs on Koh Lipe, they often run out of cash. This, along with the fact that shops and restaurants on the island usually charge a commission for card payments (and sometimes don&#8217;t even accept them), makes it very important to carry cash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wear water shoes on the sand and while swimming.<\/strong> The sand on Koh Lipe is beautiful, but it&#8217;s not usually very pleasant to walk on, as there are remnants of coral and shells. Therefore, it&#8217;s advisable to wear water shoes. This is also recommended while swimming to prevent sea urchins from hurting the soles of your feet while you dive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get an eSIM.<\/strong> In some bungalows on the island, internet is only available in the common areas, not in the bedrooms. Hiring an eSIM, in addition to allowing you to have a connection from the moment you land, will make everything related to the internet much easier, since you won&#8217;t have to buy a physical card.
