Stayed on Ko Lipe for one month in 2004. Bungalow at the far end for only $5 a night. Simple, but with a hammock on the deck and a full view of the ocean, one I'll never forget. Back then, there was no electricity on Lipe, no walking street, no motos. Only a sandy path connecting one side to the other, which you could walk barefoot with a full moon to light the way. Unforgettable. This Lipe, it's still beautiful, but nothing like I remember!

Worth the morning hike! We can’t wait to see more of this island through your eyes Chris! Cheers 🍻 from Vancouver Canada!! 🇨🇦

Stayed on Koh Lipe 30 years ago. One restaurant, 1 long House and 3 beach huts. The menu was fried rice and pineapple or watermelon for breakfast. Dinner:small,medium or large fish. Large colony of Water gypsies. Wanted to learn diving after snorkelling there. Amazing how it changed. Wonder if i want to go back....

Yes, it is interesting to see hotel hunting and options. I know you mentioned that beach front properties were expensive there on Koh Lipe. That in itself was good information. We like more mid range properties, but beach front. Let's see where else you go and what you find! Thanks for sharing.

Stayed in Akira Lipe in March for 6 nights for an early 10year anniversary. The island was just beginning to get ready again for tourism and most visitors were Thai’s who were getting a 50% discount to encourage a return. The place was so idyllic and peaceful though once visitors return in numbers it will have a completely different feel. I’d like to visit again to get the vibes when the place is up and pumping with no curfews or bars closing at 11pm. Keep the videos coming Chris. Love seeing them even if I’ve already visited. Enjoyed the ones from Toronto as I occasionally visit there and has given me a couple of ideas of somewhere different to go when in town.

@dao_mutita3663 Жыл бұрын

I stayed in Lipe for 2 months in 2021. changing several accommodation from cheap to expensive and mid price just to explore what they have there. and I kept coming back many times to the island as it is the best place I've ever visit as a Thai : )

This was great!! I loved seeing inside the hotels and where they were. When I was on Koh Lipe in October 2016 (lower tourist season, awesome unless you really want the people and crowds) we stayed at 10 moons. They were in construction for their new rooms up the hill. We were about 1/2 way up and had the most awesome view of the Ocean(rooms much more basic than what you showed). The beers on sunrise beach are much cheaper than sunset beach. We had them for 20 baht opposed to 80 on Sunset. Is that a big difference, well no, but you can get 3 more beers for that price. I can not wait to see more.

Thanks for sharing hotels and prices at Lipeh Island. I am a Thai but never been there. A couple of years ago before pandemic, my daughter took us (my mom, my husband, my another daughter, and me) to an island near Lipeh named Bulone. It was a small island and there were no nice resorts but bungalows. I found out later that although we booked for air-conditioned room, the electricity would turn on after 6 pm and off at 6 or 7 am. However, the sea was so beautiful and it was a quiet place. It was a memorable trip. Hope you can visit this island too.

Hi Chris, I would have also selected option 1. The Idyllic is clearly overpriced, even for Koh Lipe, which is also procier than other places in the Phuket/Krabi area. The one you finally stayed in for the first night looked very authentic, much more than the "concrete-monster" of option 2, thet does not give atropical island feeling at all...

Hey Chris, there are probably a few of us that are thinking about a less traditional and more 'nomadic' lifestyle in retirement like you. I'd be interested in your thoughts about things like; how long do you stay in one place, which parts have the better weather at certain times, how much luggage do you drag around, what are some of the essential items your guys pack with you (other than the ton of camera gear i imagine you have,lol)...things like that.
