Koh Lipe is one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand — a corner of paradise in the southern Andaman Sea, in Satun province, known for crystal-clear water, untouched white sand and an extraordinary underwater world. Pattaya Beach: the popular one, white sand and lovely sea. Sunrise and Sunset beaches: quiet places to watch the day begin and end. Snorkelling around the island: Jabang channel, Koh Hin Ngam and Koh Ravi.

You will see a Thai village on an island in Krabi province and watch everyday country life for yourself, animals and all. There are no cars at all on the island — everyone gets around by motorbike. A great favourite with our guests.
Full day
Laem Sak Bay is a community where three cultures live side by side — Thai Buddhist, Thai Muslim and Thai-Chinese Nyonya — and it is known for its ecotourism. A great favourite, and one we recommend.
