After a bit of a tortuous journey from Langkawi via a ferry to the Thai mainland, a hair raising 80 mph taxi ride up the Thai coast to Pak Bara an awful night in Pak Bara (which is a bit of a dump) and another ferry for 4 hours out to Ko Lipe, we have finally arrived in new age heaven, emerald seas and white sand beaches. Ahhhhhhh factor = 10/10.
But, why so many ferries, taxis and strange nights in Pak Bara when we can see Langkawi from here? Well, that is a very good question. We discovered that there is a direct ferry from Langkawi that only takes 1 hour... oh well next time. At least we were able to visit banks in Thailand to get some baht as there are no banks or ATMs out on these islands.
Its likely that we're spending a couple of weeks here it is so beautiful. Very new age and relaxed. And so are we. Apart from this week when we have booked a 6 day private kayak tour around the local islands. So far we have only been to Ko Adang which is where this lovely photo was taken.
The boat belongs to Kabu our boat driver, our guide shows us how to kayak and Kabu follows with the boat (or he goes on ahead to wait for us on a deserted beach a few km further on).
So we are kayaking and when we're not kayaking we are snorkelling and when we're not doing that, we simply lounging around on our own private beaches!
Did I say Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!
