**Koh Lipe**, is a small yet stunning island nestled in the Andaman Sea.

Often referred to as the "Maldives of Thailand," this tropical paradise is known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and laid-back atmosphere.

As part of the **Tarutao National Marine Park**, Koh Lipe offers a natural haven perfect for snorkelling, diving, and beach-hopping.

Best Time to Visit

The ideal time to explore **Koh Lipe** is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. During these months, you can expect sunny skies, calm seas, and minimal rainfall. The peak season is from December to February, so prepare for larger crowds and higher accommodation prices. If you prefer a more tranquil experience, consider visiting in March or April when the weather is still warm, but the tourist numbers are significantly lower. The rainy season from May to October sees fewer visitors, and some boat services may be limited due to rougher seas.
