Thailand Satun

Ko Lipe is a small island in the Adang-Rawi Archipelago of the Andaman Sea, in Satun Province of southwest Thailand, close to the Malaysian border. Ko Lipe is on the border of the Tarutao National Marine Park and was originally settled by a group of sea gypsies, originally from Malaysia, known as the Urak Lawoi’ people. Ko Lipe has three main beaches: Sunset Beach (Hat Pramong), Sunrise Beach (Hat Chao Ley), and Pattaya Beach. The calm, clear water makes Ko Lipe ideal for snorkeling, with 25 percent of the world's tropical fish species found in the area.
