Bangkok, Thailand, 17th, February, 2009 - Koh Lipe
(http://www.kohlipemap.com), a small island in the
Andaman Sea, is a little gem 60 km off the coast inside
the Tarutao National Marine Park.
Koh Lipe has become the southern anchor of the busy
north-south Andaman tourist route and getting there
these days couldn’t be easier with boats arriving from
all up and down the coast including Koh Phi Phi, Koh
Lanta, Krabi and Trang. Koh Lipe is also the jumping
off point to Langkawi and Malaysia.

At its largest the island is only 2 km long and 1
km wide. With 2 main beaches each with their
own distinct character, there is something for
everyone. The busy one, Pattaya beach has a
wide beach stretched in a long crescent of fine
white sand. In the evening it transforms as
restaurants and bars set out chairs and bamboo
mats on the sand and lit by candle lit, reggae
tunes drift down the beach.

On the other side of the island is Sunrise Beach
with views of several small nearby islands and a
cool onshore breeze most of the year. Sunrise
Beach is the opposite of Pattaya beach, with just a
few resorts and bars, it is very laid back. It also
has a very large coral reef with the best
snorkelling on the island directly from the beach.

There are no cars on the island, and thankfully few
motorbikes so people get around by walking. The
whole island can be explored on foot in a couple of
hours.
Pooh’s Bar (http://www.poohlipe.com) in the middle
of the island is run by the charismatic Pooh and is
almost an institution on the island. Famous for its
live music in the evenings it draws a large crowd.

Karma Bar (http://www.karmabar.net) at the north end of
Sunrise Beach is well known on the back packer scene with its
mellow music and great location.
At the other end of Sunrise beach is Castaway Resort
(http://kohlipe.castaway-resorts.com) has stunning sea and
island views which viewed from its raised candle lit deck has to
be the ultimate in chilled out dining and drinking.
