Along Pattaya Beach - Ko Lipe

The sands here were fine almost like dust and did not really stick to our legs and body. We saw plenty of dogs and they all are very friendly. It is interesting to note that some of the locals are moslems as well as they come from Satun etc and speak Thai-Malay but they treat the dogs very nicely here.


Every huts we pass by - ok, almost - offers either snorkeling set/mask/life jacket for rental (B50 each item) or offers massage services.


Bars are everywhere. Samsong is available in bucket as well. Chill bar had jamming session with Reggae Band from Langkawi and the other local band playing there for tonight. This bar - I can't remember the name - but was quite cool with their setting etc.


The only cheap accommodation on the beach - Fora - but only rent out for divers. These huts are the common type of accommodations in Koh Lipe except for few new places such as Bundhaya (brick bungalows).

Picture below was reggae bar. The sign was "open when closed". God knows the meaning of it. Yes, you can always find Bob Marley on the beach everywhere you go. The right hut was double operated as massage hut during daytime.

This restaurant next to Fora Diving Centre is where we had our lunch on the first day. Menu was good and the waiter had tatoo with his name on it "Dear". What a name! But the best part was that the food came before an hour. Quite a surprise in this part of the world.
