oh, sweet Ko Lipe

Shortly after brother Tim arrived, we traipsed off to the deep south of Thailand. A plane, a van and a boat got us to Ko Lipe, one of the most beautiful and relaxing places I have ever been. Behold, one of many sunset pictures you will see in the next few posts.

This is off the appropriately named Sunset Beach. The high season recently ended, and just a few stragglers enjoying sundowner cocktails set a very chill vibe. It reminded me a little of the shore after Labor Day.
While Tim took a scuba class, Maki and I took a day trip on a long tail boat to the surrounding islands and snorkel spots. Ko Lipe is the only developed tourist island in the middle of a huge marine national park. So lots of beautiful, wild islands as you can see in the background below. Here was an interesting black rock beach that we stopped at.
White sand, longtail boats and the sea.
Jack's Jungle Resort, with its outdoor Gilligan's Island style bathroom. The shower water came out of a coconut! Add outdoor bathroom to my fantasy house features.
