Met Our Friends in Koh Lipe

Good morning beautiful world!

I couldn't get enough of the beautiful sunrise view yesterday so we decided to wake up early today.

While we were chilling on the beach waiting for the sun to rise, our furry friend was there with us.


I really loved how relax it was to chill on the beach with the cool breeze blowing towards you and of course, the accompany of our furry friend. 
Yeah, I am a dog person, I love dogs very much. 

But too bad, luck was not on our side that morning because there were too many clouds and we couldn't really see the sunrise.


Breakfast time at Elephant Beach Bar & Restaurant and their food are actually quite good! 
I would rate them 4.5 out of 5! Double thumbs up!

I had a Banana Pancake and it came with some fruits, a cup of tea and orange juice. 


We had some time to kill after breakfast so we decided to walk around Lipe Beach Resort.

Here is the main entrance to Lipe Beach Resort.


Those small bamboo chalets behind me are the Bamboo Garden Rooms.
They looked very cute and cozy to me, it was like entering another little bamboo village. 

Here is the Sea Breeze Premium Bungalow and since it is a premium bungalow, the price for one night is quite expensive.


Another beautiful sunny day and we were ready for another day of snorkeling!


Honestly, we were a little regret of our decision to go snorkeling on the next day. 
The reason was we were still feeling a little tired from our first snorkeling trip.
We were out on the sea from 9:00 a.m. and only came back at 4:00 p.m., all the sunburn had seriously burned us off!

Was it worth the torture?
I will tell you at the end of this blog post. ;)

For our day #2 snorkeling, we went for Program B.


If you compare the snorkeling spots from both Program A and Program B, you can see there are some spots that both of the programs have but don't worry, you still get to see a totally different view. 
Our guide stopped us at another part of the island and that was why we got to see a totally different view.

WORTH THE TORTURE!

We were a little excited about Koh Dong because we were going to meet our friends, our long lost friends, haha! xD

In search of our long lost friends, LET'S GO!


First stop, Koh Hin Sorn where there are many strange rock formations on a tiny island.





Since we didn't have a waterproof camera, it was kinda sad to not able to take some beautiful pictures of the corals and fishes. 
I am so gonna get a waterproof camera next time! xD

Let's skip to lunch time.

We had our lunch at Tarutao National Park.

Remember we had our lunch at Tarutao National Park too in my previous blog post?
This time our guide stopped us at another part of Tarutao National Park and we got another different view of it.



For lunch, you can either choose chicken fried rice or seafood fried rice and it comes with some fruits and water.
We had seafood fried rice and some refreshing watermelon to recharge our energy.



Next stop, to our friends' house, Koh Dong!


Honestly, it was kinda scary to look at an island that is full of monkeys. 
I was wondering how they ended up in this tiny island. Did they swim all the way from somewhere else?

Our guide gave us some fruits to feed them and don't worry, they are not really aggressive but still please be careful.



We said our goodbyes to our friends and we headed off to Koh Hin Ngam, the same place that we went yesterday


We were back at Koh Lipe at about 4:00 p.m. and we were so freaking tired! Oh God!
But in the end, it was WORTH THE TORTURE!

Time for some reward after a long day of snorkeling, ICE-CREAM and this time I got a lemon flavoured ice-cream.


Back at our bungalow, took a shower, slept for a while and we were off to go!

But first, let me take a selfie! #selfie LOL! xD


Food hunting time!
We passed by this Thai Fruit Pancake stall everyday and we had to try it out this time.


We got ourselves a Banana Nutella Pancake and Coconut Shake.


Seriously guys, you have to try their Thai Fruit Pancake, it is one of the kind!
It satisfied my sweet tooth! Double thumbs up!

And we also got a plate of Mango Sticky Rice.


I don't understand how is this considered as a dessert in their menu because you can feel very full by just eating this. I ate like half of this and I was so full! 
Maybe it was the sticky rice that made me feeling so full and it was kinda sweet too.

That was our dinner, too full from eating the Mango Sticky Rice and we couldn't eat anything else.

We then walked around randomly to see what Walking Street has to offer.
There are seafood restaurants, bars, cafes and souvenir shops.






And last but not least, our favourite shop in Thailand, 7-Eleven!

7-Eleven in Thailand has never failed us!
They have a wide variety of foods to offer, I loved their sandwiches and burgers. 
Yum yum!

And of course, my favourite POTATO CHIPS!

7-Eleven for life! =P



It was our final night in Koh Lipe and we felt a little sad to leave this beautiful place the next day.
It was fun exploring this beautiful island!

We still had one last day to explore before we headed back to Langkawi.
Stay tune for my next Koh Lipe post!

Thank you guys for reading and I shall update you guys soon!
See ya!



Love,
Rachel.
