Must-sees & Must-Dos in Koh Lipe?
What to do and see in Koh Lipe
On Koh Lipe island itself, the most interesting places to visit are the different beaches. Pattaya Beach and Sunrise Beach, where you will surely go no matter what, but also Sunrise Beach, more isolated, less crowded and a few other more confidential beaches (see below on this page). Note also the small temple Wat Hintalay, the sanctuary at the end of Pattaya Beach and a small portion of wooden walkways at the other end.Otherwise, off the island, there are amazing diving sites, the most popular being 9 Mile Rock and Stonehenge, with one of the most beautiful and in the best condition coral reefs in Thailand. There are also many multicolored soft corals. Snorkeling trips are also offered from Ko Lipe to several islands including Koh Rawi with quite well preserved corals. Without forgetting Koh Adang and its dominating point of view, Koh Tarutao and its fascinating history, Koh Kaï and its natural stone bridge or Koh Bulon Le.
