nelly i hope this place was worth the journey
so was it worth the trip oh yeah cue the music
i guess you're watching this video because you're just nosy
or you like our videos or maybe you just want a slice of paradise we originally booked this
place for four nights but three weeks later we're still here and we've put together this guide for
the amazing Koh Lipe good morning nomads welcome to this amazing island well koh lipe is incredible
but one of the hardest things i'm finding so far is actually to go out and shoot some content but
not because there's not great stuff to film i mean this place is is breathtaking i'm so
relaxed my biggest decision today is whether to have chili sauce or ketchup sauce on my breakfast
this is so if you want to go somewhere and just chill out become a proper nomad and just do
nothing man this is the island for you however we've got vlogs to film but before that over to
Neli to tell you a bit more about this hotel i think we found ourselves a true nomad place you
get to stay in your own bamboo house it's right at the beach and they offer a full range of massages
right here on the beach she's really good it has a library where you could grab one and
sit on the beach or you can just relax here and take it all in they even have their own
diving school where you can get a full diving license or you can just go for a fun dive
the island is famous with scuba diving and there is plenty of places to get your license from
but you don't need to be an advanced diver to experience the amazing coral reef and underwater
wildlife there is a great range of two operators that allow you to grab a long tail and a snorco
who will take you to the nearby islands to explore the sea world there's two types of boat trips
the agents call it shorter and longer we have done the shorter one before but this time we
opted for the longer one and four hundred baht more this one is much better it also includes
lunch snorkels and water but you can also get refreshments and snacks on the beach but we booked
our trip with nee from star travel we found this place about 500 baht cheaper than other places
sorry to but in but if you're still with us thanks for watching you'll love the second half but stay
to the end and you'll get to see where we're going next now if you're one of the 82 percent who watch

thanks colin and thank you guys if you just subscribed
now we all live on the same planet but down here is a whole different world
it wouldn't be a meet the nomad's video if we didn't show you the different side of the island so we
decided to come pop down to the locals village and show you how the amazing people of Koh lipe live
we love to meet the people who make all this possible for you people like juice, juice has
been here since he was a baby baby so long before hotels all these boats all these people yeah yeah
before mosquitoes part of the sea gypsy family this guy great guy and this is madame yoohoo she
has a restaurant on walking street
this is where the production happens then it all goes to the village
and this is exactly where you come to get your ears
this is joy she sells some of the precious fruits here on the island this is where we did
our laundry at kwan laundry it's just outside castaway resort and this beautiful lady looks
after seven cats this is bulon she was born with brain tumor and quan raised it from a little kitty
and at 4 pm the whole island celebrates happy hour on the beach with not just one
but two cocktails for the price of one but our favorite place is here at akira not only
because this amazing famous koh lipe cocktail but their happy hour finishes at eight o'clock
this is quite a combination it has jagermeister vodka tequila cranberry juice lime juice and
grenadine we are quite enjoying making these travel guides
Neli has got to try that
unlike most of thailand there is no street food market here on the island but there's a few
stores scattered around the roads there's this lovely lady who sells the best corn in koh lipe
oh donuts another thing about this island you can find it pretty much anywhere
in homemade gelato two scoops for 80 baht some well loved rotis with chocolate and there's some of the
freshest fruits you'll find wow and don't miss out on these frozen smoothies i've just got myself the
frozen berry one this is stunning you have to have one of them and since i've been in thailand i've
fallen in love with bananas smoothies the best one so far was on kata beach let's give this one a go
it's nice it still doesn't beat kata beach most of the bars and restaurants you'll find
all in one place here on walking street which actually connects sunrise beach and pattaya beach
but we'll take you the beaches later and there's an abundance of fresh fish restaurants and there's
fish more fish and even more fish you can get pizza and yes pineapple's okay to have on a pizza
there's indian restaurants and bombay india serves beautiful curries but unfortunately i can't have
curry anymore as a few days ago i have developed chili intolerance and this is pretty sad is for
the nomads as you know from our previous videos we love curry there's an abundance
of thai restaurants or if you find yourself homesick you can come and grab a burger or
pizza at elephant burger but at the end of the day you would always find us here at papaya mama
you can get some cocktails in swadee and if you wanted some cool vibes come to peach bar
or just grab a beer at the corner oh come and just chill out at the locals rasta bar
there is so many great foods here but tonight we have decided to treat ourselves so we've come to
the box to enjoy some of the most amazing spanish tapas they have to offer i'm gonna start with the
appetizer i think they give this one out to people who just come and enjoy their restaurant it's a
pork ribs quesadilla next i'm gonna try the caramelized onion and goat cheese bruschetta
but before that i'm gonna have a sip of wine okay one of my go-to things any time i have tappers
is patatas bravas this is the owner of the box from i'm it seems to be very popular and
people are loving it every time we pass it's always partying there's so many people here
i just wanted to say gracias for the best meal we've had for six months we have been in thailand
thank you so much you're welcome thank you very much we appreciate it really
these three main beaches in koh lipe this is pattaya beach we love this
beach because of its fine white sands here you celebrate happy hour there's plenty of bars
hotels and great seafood restaurants and if it happens that you wake up at 6 00 am
come and watch these beautiful scenes on sunrise beach it is truly magical
but when the rest of the island wakes up it's a great place to be
there's plenty of bars and restaurants where you can just grab a beer into it's also the cooler
part of the island because of the breeze and it's the best place to explore the coral reef
and if you're looking to capture that instagram shot sunset beach is the place to be at 6 p.m
make sure that you come a little bit early to grab your spot about an hour should be fine and
after the glorious sunset come and hang out at our favorite bar zodiac and guys if you've got
