Lype is a tiny island in the Andaman Sea in the very south of Thailand.
I first visited it at the end of 2006.
And I realized that I found a place for which I only had one definition is paradise!
In Thailand there are places possible and more beautiful, for example, postcard Pi-Pi Don.

But on the lipa there was a unique combination of beauty, a special atmosphere, almost not touched by a man of nature and that was pleased separately - a very small number of people.

I was constantly drawn back.
But as often happens when something next to you is easily achievable, then you choose it last.
So traveling for the last 5 years almost all Southeast Asia, the second time I got to the lipe only in this February.

The first thing we saw landing on the island:

UPSS, late, paradise no more ...
There are now many hotels on the island, most of the beaches have turned into berths for boats and everywhere people, people, people.

Fortunately, it turned out that not everything is so sad! And the pieces of the former paradise can still be found.

Fantastic color of water.
Snow white, the smallest sand.

Every day dined at Daya Resort restaurant, on the seashore, with candlelight.
They are brought right in front of dinner just caught fish. Prepare on the grill.
We ordered a group there - it's great!

In the morning we went for a walk around the island, it is possible to get around it in a few hours

Transparent transparent water with a lively underwater life
It is interesting to swim from the mask. Watching fish.
For a week we saw a few moray, a skate, bodyworks, shoals of fish ... But we saw the most interesting literature from the shore. Fortunately!!!

The meeting was unforgettable. Went in the evening from the restaurant along the coast. Water was well highlighted by lanterns of one of the hotels. Simultaneously with the sister saw some multi-meter hose swaying into the surf near the coast. In a joke (because this does not happen) suggested that the snake. We managed to agree, with each other, which is probably a bope of one of the boats. They approached almost close to the shore and then the "cable" of several smooth, sliding movements sailed into the sea. Fantasy! It was a snake. At a minimum of 4-5 meters long.

Local grace

Inhabit the island of marine gypsies

Merry girling girls sat and proudly drank their gas.
And only the extreme right, the girl thought that life was not fair and for some reason the soda did not get her.
The decision is ripe five minutes. All the fun ended with a fruit with a fruit)))

Beggar. Literally extorted something to devour something)

Farewell is a favorite island

The only photo of the day remaining in Hat Yai. Little pleasant Thai town.
Without special attractions. But the lanterns impressed

Is it worth going to the island now? For me, the answer is unequivocal. Yes!
Lipa still remains one of the best and most beautiful places In Thailand.
On it, you can still find deserted beaches. And places amazing views.
How long? I think no. A couple of years old and the last pieces of the paradise will be absorbed by the next hotels, bars and boats for boats.
So you need to catch the moment now. There are no such places such as this island in the world.

Practical information.

To lime on the map:

How to get to the lime:

1. evening train to the city of Trang (Trang) or Hat Yai (Hat Yai), then the minivan to Pakbara (Pakbara) + Bot on the island of Ko Lipe.
The train is better to take the second class with a fan (with air conditioning is death from icing). It costs about 900 baht one way.
Minivan + Bot 450-700 BAT depending on the company where you buy a shuttle service.

2. Before Hat Yai can be reached by plane. Cheaper tickets can be bought from Airasia.
If you buy a lot in advance and in stock, then you can work almost free :)
My tickets purchased 8 months before the flight cost 400 baht for flight Bangkok - Hut Yai - Bangkok.
Sisters tickets that were bought about a month before the departure cost 3 thousand baht
To get to Lipe on the same day, choose the first morning flights.

From the airport Minivan to Bass Steisn (80 baht per person). With Basheichn as in the first version up to Pakbara, etc.
You can take a taxi to Pakbara. Price 2-2.5 thousand baht.

Where to live on lipa:
My choice of Mountain Resort is an excellent beach, a beautiful place.
If you want to save, then there is a Andaman Resort.
You can book here.

Lipa Island (Koh Lipe) is located in close proximity to the water border between Malaysia and Thailand. You can get to it from both Thailand and from Malaysia. There is no airport on the island, so the only way to lipa is water.

Water report island with a large land depends on the season. In high season, from November to May, you can get from the Thai side (mainland: Pak Barra, Satun, Trang and many of the surroundings: Koh Tarutao, Koh Bulon, Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Muk, Koh Kradang, Koh Laoliang, Koh NGAI) and from the Malay side (Langkawi Island). In the low season, from May to November, only from the pier Pak Barra. Also in any season should clarify the status of the flight the day before departure, as it can be canceled due to the weather. View boat schedule, as well as book tickets you can.

Planning a trip to Malaysia, we could not decide on the island that I wanted to add to the visit to Kuala Lumpur. Quite by chance, I came across "Top best places For recreation 2012 according to NG, "where there was a note about the pearl of the Andaman Sea not yet brought by tourists - to Lype. And when it turned out that it was possible to get there from the Malay Island of Langkawi, to which Budget Airasia flies from Kuala Lumpur, it became definitively clear that "you need to take!". Now I will tell you how we traveled to the lipa from Malaysia.

Course of Malay Rupee to the ruble for travel time: 1 Malaysian ringgit ~ 10 rubles

From Kuala Lumpur to LCCT

From Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi, we flew on a regular flight of the Airasia LouroSter. Eir Asia is one of the best company-louxers in the world and its routes cover almost all Southeast Asia. Malayskaya, so the main content point, it also own airport (!) Low Cost Carrier Terminal, is close to Kuala Lumpur. Players bought in advance through the company's website. They cost approximately 500RM (5 thousand rubles) for two in both directions.

Plane landing in LCCT

Before LOW COST CARRIER TERMINAL (LCCT) from the center Kuala Lumpura You can get in several ways:

• Taxi

The easiest and most expensive option. There will be about 60RM (~ 600 rubles). Read more about taxi and tariffs to LCCT can be read

• Klia Ekspres + Shuttle Bus

The second option is to use the Klia Ekspres express train, which goes to international Airport Kuala Lumpur KLIA, and from there to transfer to a special bus (Shuttle Bus) to LCCT. Fare price by bus 1.50RM () The train departs from the Central Central Station and there is a half hour. The passage of one end costs 35RM.

• KLIA TRANSIT + SHUTTLE BUS

• KTM Komuter + bus from Nilai Station station

From the same Central Station Sentral or any other KTM Komuter station you can get to Nilai Station station. The passage from Sentral to Nilai will cost 4.70RM. From this station there is a bus to LCCT for 1.50rm ()

• Shuttle Bus from Sentral to LCCT

Multiple companies work on this route. Prices are slightly 8RM-10RM. Tickets can be bought at the Central Sentral Station, as well as when boarding the bus. By reference, you can see the schedule and details for each company. There are buses to LCCT from other Kuala Lumpur places.

We used the last option, as the departure was early, and the trains have not yet walked. Sentral from Hotel Traders (KLCC) got a taxi. At the night rate, something around 13RM came out. The taxi driver brought us to the place of landing on the buses, as we called "Zakoleok under the bridge" :)

Initially, we planned to sit on Skybus from Airasia, but as soon as we came to the buses, the guys were surrounded with tickets that were actively gesticulated and said something like: "Sit down faster, departure now, here and here!" etc. In general, when we were realized, it was too late. We bought a ticket for Aerobus, as their guy turned out to be the most prompt. Outside, all buses looked decently. Inside Aerobus turned out to be pretty shaped and old. Kondey terribly dug all the way and did not turn off. But then cheaper%)

In the cabin besides us there were only local and they slept. We drove in the dark, through a strong thunderstorm (epic), but came on time. The road took about an hour. Back sat on the same because it went faster. Well, that, that old, we are not quit. It looked like this:

Bus to LCT.

At LCCT airport

Buses stop almost near the entrance to the terminal. Get lost difficult. Here we have breakfast and went to look for our flight. The LCCT terminal is not similar to the usual airports, it is Rather Station. Only air. Everything is simple and functional here. Luggage safety check is rather funny. Translucent only big bags, and then selectively. On the proven luggage simply glue the "Security Check" sticker. After that, you can safely exit the registration zone back :)

The registration hall was filled with huge queues, which is a little strained. We got up at the end of the queue to one of the racks, which was burning P.Langkawi. But besides our island, another direction was also burning there. All neighbors in turn claimed that they were flying not on Langkavi ... later it turned out that one rack registers several flights. Keep in mind and put on time!

After a small expectation, we were invited to land. Landing is also funny: walking along the summer field! Fortunately it is small. Special indoor "sleeves" are laid before aircraft standing away from the exit. From one sleeve you can get to several aircraft, the main thing is not to confuse! :) Workers help navigate, but still cases, apparently, were. After planting a plane, we were repeated for about 10-15 minutes where the plane flies. On the reverse flight to the aircraft, just walk, he stood almost near the exit. To fly to Langkawa about an hour.

On the island of Langkavi

Boats to the island of Lipe are sent twice a day (only in the season, from November to May!) From the berth Telaga Boat Terminal. Since it was difficult for us to estimate the time of the road from the airport to the terminal, we took a late boat. Tickets bought in advance, via the Internet. It came out about 500RM (~ 5000 rubles) for two there, back.

The time in the reserve was 4 hours. At the exit from the airport, taxi drivers spent the tourists, most were in the opposite side, "towards civilization." We were planted the last remaining grandfather, dressed in Muslims in a white long hoody and knitted tubette. We reached the terminal very quickly, for 15 minutes, fat. For a taxi paid in the area of \u200b\u200b10RM, just unfortunately, I do not remember. Langkavi island big, green and very beautiful. If we were not going to do the stop on the way back, I would definitely regretted.

Landing on Langkavi Island

In the TELAGA port on Langkavi Island

We drove up to a small building around which a lot of waiting boats of tourists on backpacks and bags were sitting. Under a canopy behind the "counter", the girl was collecting passports. We arrived shortly before the departure of the first boat, but our tickets were on the second. We were already morally ready to stick in the port of 4 hours, but the girl offered us to register for the first flight, registration for which was about to close. We gave printouts tickets and passports.

With a passport an interesting moment. Since the boat crosses the border, it is necessary to pass the border-controlling and receiving stamps of entry / departure. This concern is taken by the company, moving tourists. Before leaving, they collect passports, get stamps on the Malay side and transmit them to border guards on the island of Lipa. After arrival, approximately for 15 minutes, the border guards put stamps and a girl from travel agency issues passports back.

Honestly, it was not terrible to give his passport unknown to where. But everything ended well and without lining. Where and how you can get a stamp yourself, I can not say. It seemed to me that the passport was a prerequisite for boarding. But maybe there are other ways.

Speed \u200b\u200bBoat to Lype Island

Speed \u200b\u200bboat sails to the island of lipa for about an hour. This is a trip by emerald sea stroy at high speed, with wind, sun and splashes. We received great pleasure from her, despite the fact that they slept over this day only 2 hours and were on the road with deep nights.

Boat with Langkawi to Lype Island

The boat stopped at about 100 meters from the coast. From the shore, long traditional wooden boats driven by a small motor trained to a long six. At first, all tourists were brought to the coast, and the luggage went by the second approach. By the way, disembarking from the boat directly to the azure warm water in the shin. No pier no, you immediately find yourself in the sea and sand in the purest and beautiful beach Pattaya Beach. For luggage, it was also a bit scared, but nothing was watched and nothing stolen. Boats are approaching near the border post (Check Point). After arrival, you need to wait for the return of passports, which will bring a travel agency a travel agency and distribute to tourists from the border guards.

After 15 minutes, we have already walked over white sand to your hotel Sita Beach Resort.. The entrance from the beach can be considered the main one, five meters from the sand and ten from the water, the hotel's relax is located under a beautiful canopy. Sita Beach Resort is one of several hotels island, which can be realized in hotels in understanding vacationers, the rest of the housing of the simple bungalow. If we did not book the hotel in advance or tried to save a lot, then choose a modest and pretty housing in place would not be any problems.

We got!

The island of To Lipa is located in the Andaman Sea in the province of Satun in the south of Thailand, very close to the Malaysian Island of Langkavi.

Loading and unloading baggage That is also a circus: things are thrown right above the water and it seems that the suitcase is about to fall into the sea, so do not give the valuables to the boat loading, and keep with you! The luggage is packaged on the stern, and in some places even on the roof of the boat, so the suitcase can sail wet and dirty ...

How to get to Pakbar Pier

Nearest major cities to Pakbara village:

• Trang (not to be confused with the city of spending, which is near)
• Hat Yai.

And there and there is an airport, bus stations, and in Hat Yai, even the railway station! You can get to Pacbara Pier on:

• Taxi. The car from these two cities on Pakbara Pier will cost 1800 - 2200 baht, approximate time on the way and a half hours
• Minibace. From the bus station Hut Yai goes mini bass, the cost of 150 baht, the time on the path of one and a half - two hours
• Having bought a comprehensive ticket. For example, by arriving at the airport of Hut Ye, we bought a comprehensive ticket for mini bass + boat: Airport - Pacbara Pierce - to Lype for 900 baht per person. To buy such a ticket is better in advance on this site, firstly it will be cheaper (~ 750 ba T), and secondly do not have to wait long to wait at the airport until tourists come from other flights.

We traveled to the lipa just with I thought for a very long time, how to get to the lime from Phuket. I decided to choose the seaway 🙂 The high-speed boat shall immediately (yet 4-5 hours in such a high-speed boat, I would not stand it, I had enough even an hour and a half during 🙂), I wanted to swim on Tiger Line Ferry, for some reason I imagined such a big ferry , the same as or as we 🙂

But, after reading the reviews, I realized that it was better to choose another option to get to the island to Lype from Phuket 🙂 In the reviews, people complained about the old boat and frequent long-term delays, wrote that the boat goes not 4 hours, as stated, and almost twice longer! After reading the reviews, I decided to choose another way to get to the Lamp from Phuket, namely the more standard path through Hat Yai and Pakbaru.

Option 2: Through Hat Yai and Pakbaru

By bus

From Phuket in Hat Yat can be reached by bus. Buses go from 6 am to 21:45, travel time is about 8 hours, cost from 300 to 600 baht, depending on the class of the bus. Tickets can be bought on the bus station in Phuket Town or on the site.

It is best to go through the night bus VIP 24, which departs at 21:45, and arrives in Hat Ya about 6 in the morning. Further transfer to Pierce and on the first boat at 9:30 pm to the lime. Then on the island you will be around 11:00 - 11:30 and still ahead of the day!

By plane

From Phuket to Hat Yai Direct flight Bangkok Air. Departure at 7:25, arrival at 8:30. Most recently, there was still an evening flight at 19:25, but at the moment I see him in the schedule. Cost of about 1700 baht, luggage included and even breakfast on board 🙂 Check the cost and buy tickets Phuket - Hut Yai \u003e\u003e

We chose exactly this option how to get to the lime from Phuket. Everything went smoothly: at 5:30 am I ordered a taxi to our condo, at 6:15 have already been at the airport of Phuket, passed the luggage, drank coffee in a coffee shop, booted into a small aircraft, have breakfasts 🙂 in Hat Yai arrived even ahead of time specified in Schedule.

I wanted to buy tickets on the transfer airport - Pierce - to Lype in advance online on the site (so it turned out cheaper), but while I thought if we had a minibus, which was sent at 9 am (managed and even with a big margin), the sale of tickets stopped (online tickets can be bought no later than three days). Therefore, at the airport we found a tour agency, where and bought a comprehensive ticket Mini bass + spedboat. But I had to wait more than an hour of passengers from other flights.

On Pakbara pier were at 11:15, there were purchased tickets to exchange on the number for which the boat is carried out (the number is very convenient - the queue is not created). They sailed instead of the promised 11:30 at 12:00, and on to the lipa sailed at 14:00 - because of the storm and rain, which began on the way, the boat sailed slower and arrived at Sunrise Beach, and not on the opposite beach. It was even more convenient for us: our hotel was literally a few steps from the place of arrival of the boat 🙂

Hurray, comes our turn to load into the boat 🙂

Island Lipa How to get from Krabi

You can get from Krabi to the lipa through Hat Yai. Direct flights Krabi - Hut Yai No, and fly through Bangkok, in my opinion, is not advisable, so you can get by bus, minibas or taxis. The distance to the pier is only about 300 km.

Tickets for minibas in Hat Yai from will cost 350 - 400 baht, a comprehensive ticket of AO Nang (Krabi) - to Lype - 1000 - 1200 baht. You can buy in any tour agency or hotel.

We floated in the opposite direction (i.e., with lipa on Langkavi) and I specifically chose the carrier, the boat of which arrive at the TELAGA Pier, because The first thing on Langkawa was planning to move at GeoPark Hotel, visit and, which are within a walking distance from this pier.
