Koh Lipe
Beautiful Koh Lipe is a small island in the southern part of Thailand, close to Malaysia. It is part of the Tarutao National Marine Park and famous for its excellent diving and snorkeling sports. Crystal clear water and white sandy beaches will give you the ultimate island feeling. The islands surrouding Koh Lipe form a national park and are inhabited. This allows for nature to go its way and some beautiful coral can be seen while diving or snorkeling. Hard and soft corals are abundant with lots of sea life. A diving trip can be arranged at one of the diving companies on the Island. For a (private) snorkeling trip just walk up to some of the fisherman on the beach and agree on the route, price and duration and they will take you out to sea. As the locals know all the nice spots you are in for some nice snorkeling and in the mean time support the original families on the island.
