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.
