look at how clear this water is it's so beautiful
we are in Koh Lipe
hi guys we are flora and note from sheswanderflo and we are on
our way to Koh Lipe which is a tiny island in southern thailand situated on the andaman sea
it is a bit hard to get to but that's why it is still a piece of paradise we just left hat yai and
we are driving two hours across the satun where we will be boarding a speedboat at the pak bara
pier towards koh lipe if you're not driving then the closest airport is actually hat yai
and from there you can grab a bus or a van to take you to the pier as well
we are super excited because we'll be staying at a beachfront bungalow
at ten moons beach resort on the famous sunrise beach that that that's a tongue twister
let's go check in
i'm gonna have to take the car to the parking lot so i have to follow her okay
huh is this the closest parking it is actually she said the parking lot is the
shaded parking lot uh-huh with security cameras oh really oh you can feel safe look
oh nice oh yeah car parking it's very secure that's good
wow this is nicer than i expected
let's go we're going back to the pier
oh
okay this is pretty cool
that's convenient how much is the parking oh the parking is 100 baht
per day oh that's really good yeah but you you pay when you come back and pick up the car
so we just arrived at the pier waiting to hop on the speed boat to Koh Lipe
we went through so much to get all these tickets so firstly these ones these are
the speedboat tickets that cost a 700 baht per person round trip from pak bara pier to Koh Lipe
and these ones is the pier fee yes pier fee 20 per person and then these ones are the national
park fees these are important so you need to carry them everywhere you go because Koh Lipe is
part of the Tarutao national park and these are only valid for five days so i guess if you stay
longer than five days you would have to renew them yeah yeah and they're cheap they're 40 baht each
i think they're 40 baht for thais i think it's 200 baht for foreigners i guess Flora looks thai that's why you get thai price i didn't know i had a mask on i'm starting to look thai we have an
important tip for you guys because there aren't many speed boats departing from pak bara here
you should make sure to book in advance your tickets because they could be sold out and it's
so far to get to so it'll be a waste if you come all the way here and there's no tickets available
so we went with the company bundhaya and what you can do is go online and buy the tickets
pay with paypal or you can do what we did and call them ahead of time to book the tickets and
we pay actually when we got here it's so busy at the pier mostly Thais going to Koh Lipe
oh
we just arrived at the national park we're gonna stop here for 15 minutes for you know sightseeing
and stuff so there are two bonus adventures included in your 700 baht ticket we are making a
stop here at the Tarutao island for 15 minutes and then we are off to Koh Khai which is egg island for
probably another 15 minutes there's a good reason why everyone is over there and no one is over here
it's because the sand is so hot like burning hot is it really hot you have to wear shoes
okay let's try this again but i have my shoes on so i am taking the risk for you guys and walking
out here so yeah most people are inside including note look at how clear this water is it's so
beautiful
for summer is for falling in love
we are finally in Koh Lipe it was like a long journey because we made a couple stops but they
were beautiful islands so i'm glad we were able to visit them the water looks crystal clear so
i'm so excited to jump in the water you can see all the way to the bottom just following our bags
okay there are no cars on the island so there's only by motorbike or walking
or by this this is saling a motorbike attached with um this is like a crate
like a crate the roads are way too narrow for a car so most people use saling to get around
but this is way more fun and way more
cool this place is amazing
we just arrived at the hotel lobby at ten moons
resort look they have a welcome drink roselle drink
it's a refreshing this is our second time here
the first time with three years ago and totally different experience
busy yeah it was busy it's a lot quieter now but still quite a bit of local tourists on the island
i think it looks a lot more beautiful this time like the water is so clear and in front of our hotel
uh the best place for snorkeling yeah i think we should do that a lot of coral and fish here
what kind of fish any big fish big and small and small animals oh yeah we should do that finding
nemo yeah finding nemo at ten moons resort last time we stay here this one lipe beach resort
yeah around here where are we now oh so only 20 minutes to there yeah ten moons resort we can walk
over here to watch the sunset so you don't need to rent a motorbike or anything it's like you can
walk everything you can walk everywhere perfect very small island and sometimes i lazy to walk
i call taxi and how much will the taxi cost 55 per person per person one taxi maximum three people
okay i think we will walk it would be nice yeah i can walk two way to way to walking
street uh yeah this way along with this way walk into anya resort it's exactly
i think it might be better than taking the stairs up again yeah can i pet you smiley
smiley looks scary but not scary at all no missing the upper lip
now will you look at this view thank you
you never
oh morning from ten moons resort in Koh Lipe we are just having breakfast now at the restaurant
with the amazing views of the andaman sea they have a great selection of breakfast choices
here mostly western choices but there are also some thai dishes as well what did you order i
ordered the banana pancakes with two over easy eggs chicken sausage and fresh fruits i got the
thai rice soup with chicken and two over easy eggs and some food platter of course before flora eats
we have to take instagram photos of the food not always sometimes nice fruit shot
so ten moons resort is located on the southern part of sunrise beach which is a more quiet corner
of the islands it is the perfect location for a getaway because they have their own private beach
it is more secluded and it is actually not far from the walking street it's only around
a 10 minute walk to the walking street and most of that is on the beach so it's lovely
another thing we like about the resort is that there are no long tail boats parked here
so most of the time all you hear is just the natural waves coming in and out
and not the vroom of the long tail boats going around we find that a lot of the hotels
on the island are actually located on the longer stretch of beach where there isn't much shade so
here it's perfect because they have a lot of trees they have hammocks behind as well where
you can chill the vibe is very different here it's more like a relax and chill kind of resort
we're just gonna rest a little bit before we go try snorkeling around these rocks over here
they say you can see a lot of fish and coral just around the corner here we
don't even have to go far i think right now is the perfect time for a room tour
welcome to our beachfront bungalow there are three of these on the resort property and they all
have access to the private beach so in our room we have a beautiful king-sized bed
the mattress is a little bit firmer but it's actually what we prefer and we had the best sleep
and on this side we have a wardrobe and that's where the safety deposit box is and on this side
we have a couch which should be used for relaxing but it's kind of our storage for camera equipment
but there's a good reason for that it's because there are tons of plugs just on this wall
perfect for charging everything as we move further into the room all the bungalows here are air
conditioned but if you don't like air conditioning there's also a fan available as well there is a tv
that we haven't used and all rooms have a tea and coffee station and also a fridge as well so the
washroom has everything you need it has a nice modern shower with really good water pressure
there is a toilet and also a sink and underneath the sink there is extra storage if you need it
they try to ask you to reduce towel change to help conserve water so if you don't need it
change you just have to hang it on the wall let's come back to this the water tank here so they have
a glass jar here with refillable water this is great because it helps reduce plastic and i think
more hotels should implement it but if you don't like room temperature water they actually
put some bottled water in here that is chilled the balcony has these awesome screen doors too
so if you don't want the mosquitoes to go in but you want the breeze to come through you can just
close these ones and note really likes this one here they have a little feet cleaning station
i don't know why but i think this is really cool
i think we should put one in front of our house
i would love that um i i think they're clean now uh yeah yeah oh cool look at this
all of the bungalows have a balcony and they all face the sea we are extra lucky
because we are beach front so we can watch the sunrise from the beach
that's what we did this morning so nice we'll be here for summer and then we're gone
we'll be here for then we'll fly
how much time do you reckon we have left to say the words
and how many days would you say that you had spent living out regrets
we had a wonderful stay here at 10 moons we hope you get the chance to
come here in the future as well if you enjoy the video please give it a thumbs
