What did we do at Koh Lipe..

If you've done your research already, most people come here to relax, to snorkel or dive, and/or island hopping. In our case, this trip was to celebrate our wedding anniversary,so we spend most of our time walking along the beach exploring the villages, camwhorring, trying out new food, sleep, swim..etc. We initially were contemplating whether to book a snorkelling package or not, but in the end decided not to since it takes the whole day.

Our day begins with the American breakfast provided by the resort. They had muesli too, but we weren't interested. There are 3 choices how you want your eggs to be, scrambled, fried or omelette. Coffee or tea is provided together with a glass of orange juice (not cordial).

After breakfast we usually linger around for quite a bit before heading back to our room to bathe. We spent some time watching Discovery on TV before heading out for our tour around the island.


There were many stray dogs on the island. Some had tags on them while some don't.

We walked into the 'Walking Street', where we passed many eateries, massage parlours, mini marts  dive/snorkel shops and souvenir shops. I couldn't resist having a photo taken here.

Some chalets at Sunrise beach



We stopped by for lunch here at Sunrise beach restaurant and ordered fried rice. They were alright, quite fragrant but nothing spectacular. This was the cheapest meal we had in Koh Lipe, 210 Baht for 2 fried rice, and 1 Sprite. The owners weren't around, else I bet they would have recommended us their specialties.




After lunch, we walked back to the hotel, approximately half an hour walk (my pace..haha).

Usually we just chill in our rooms from 1.30pm to 3pm. It's hot outside, and nothing is better than being in our air-conditioned room watching TV or sleep.

By 3.45pm we were ready to go for a swim. Applied sunblock vigorously all over and headed to the beach.
