Nestled in the beautiful waters of the Andaman Sea, Ko Lipe is a tropical paradise located in the Satun Province of southern Thailand. Known as the "Maldives of Thailand", this laid-back island offers powdery white sand beaches, serene blue waters teeming with vibrant marine life, making it an ideal destination for snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiasts. Dotted with beachfront resorts, thatched-roof bungalows, and heralded for its local restaurants offering mouth-watering authentic Thai cuisine, Ko Lipe is also famous for its glowing plankton phenomenon, creating a starry spectacle on the seashore under moonlit nights. Despite its small size, the ethereal beauty of Ko Lipe is bound to captivate anyone looking for a serene island getaway.

It was awesome and well worth the trip. We got to snorkel all over the island and saw amazing fish at every spot. We both think it’s the best island we went to in Thailand and would recommend it to anyone traveling there!
