Koh Lipe

7:30 a.m. - I woke up and booked a snorkel tour for today.

9 a.m. - After breakfast I met up at the office for the snorkel tour. We were a small group of six people. At first we went to Koh Hin Sorn to see different rock formations. The second spot was around Koh Bulu. At the first snorkel spot there were a lot of soft corals. Amazing underwater world and I was lucky to see a water snake. She was black and gray striped and so beautiful. At the second snorkel spot there were a lot of hard corals and I saw my first real clownfish and a sea star.

12 p.m. - We got lunch at Monkey Beach on Koh Tong and relaxed there for a bit. Afterwards we went to the third snorkel spot but there was nothing special or anything I didn’t saw before. The next destination was Koh Hin Ngam a mysterious island build out of thousands of smoothly polished black stones. The fourth snorkel spot called Jabang was amazing. There I saw beautiful blue and red coral but there were a lot of tourists in life jackets because they could not swim. Furthermore the current was strong and everyone hold up to the ropes so it was sadly a mess.
At small realtalk many people don’t respect the sea life. Rule number one in the sea is don’t touch or pick up anything JUST LOOK!! I saw same people how picked up a sea star another one stand on the coral’s. Honestly I don’t fucking get it and people wonder why the coral reefs go bust.

4 p.m. - After we got back I went to a café and got some coffee.

5:30 p.m. - Later I went back to my accommodation, took a shower and reckoned the sunburn on my back.

7 p.m. - I met Emma in my hostel. I first met her in Koh Tao and later in Koh Lanta and no again in Koh Lipe. I love that. After that nice chat I went out for dinner and a night walk at the beach where I watched lightning’s in the open sea. Looked fucking sick.

9:30 p.m. - Afterwards I met up with Emma and Ellis her friend in a bar. We had some drinks and played a pool drink game. I am a really bad pool player and lost almost every round.

P.S.: The water quality and visibility is insane. So perfect for snorkeling and diving.Read more
