Thailand’s Tropical Koh Lipe: Our Backpacking Dream Destination

Welcome to Koh Lipe, a backpacker's paradise in Thailand! Known as the "Maldives of Thailand," Koh Lipe boasts pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and a laid-back island vibe that’s perfect for adventure seekers and relaxation lovers alike.

During our week on the island we choose to stay at two different hotels, the beachside Wapi Resort and the Chic Lipe Hostel. We’ll take you on a journey through Koh Lipe’s must-see spots: Stunning beaches like Sunrise, 10 Moons and Pattaya, incredible snorkelling sites both on and off the island as well taking time to slow down onto island time and sampling the delicious local food.

Whether you're planning your own Thailand adventure or just dreaming of tropical escapes, Koh Lipe is a destination that truly lives up to the hype. Join us as we explore what makes this island a bucket-list favourite for travellers worldwide.
