3D 2N Koh Lipe: Day 1

Our annual trip this year was Koh Lipe, Thailand.

We arrived Koh Lipe from Telaga Harbour, Langkawi.

I'd booked the ferry ticket online, earlier as I worry the limited seats of the ferry.

There are 2 departure time from Langkawi: 9.30am and 2.30pm.

The journey took 90 minutes and cost RM248/pax for return tickets. You get discount RM20 per person for online booking, and there is transaction charge of RM10 per transaction.

Take note that ferry from Langkawi only operates from November until May.

Please also take note to wear short pants and sandals. This is because the ferry will stop at a deeper sea and this long tail boat will come to pick you up from there before drop you on the beach.

Afterall, you are going to sea, sun & sand vacation. So, just put on your shorts & sandals.

Arriving Koh Lipe.

This is the immigration. You need to wait here to collect your passport which had been hand over to the officers in Langkawi. It's a long long wait!

Finally we got our passport and check in to our hotel.

I'd booked Wapi Resort which located on Sunrise Beach. This second row from sea chalet cost RM390/ night. Guess it's due to the high season.

Clean and spacious.

After drop our luggage, we walk to next door (Sunrise Beach Restaurant) for our lunch.

And back to our resort for a relax evening.

We then had a stroll along the beach.

Looking at the local kids enjoying swimming.

And then proceed to Walking Street to hunt for our dinner.

The start of Walking Street.

We had our dinner at Nee Papaya.

Then we saw this! Buffet seafood for only 490THB!

The end of the Walking Street.

Along the Walking Street.

Pooh's cafe.

And so we call it a day.

Hatyai Day 3

Our last day in Hatyai.

Before checking out to head to airport and back to reality, we had our breakfast at Ching Jie Restaurant. Famous with its stewed pork and roasted pork. It is really delicious and worth the try.

This cost THB270 for one pax each type.

There it is. End of our short escape to Hatyai :)

Hatyai Day 2

Day 2. We start our day at the famous dim sum & bakuteh shop, Chok Dee Restaurant.

Bakuteh meal for one person. Yums~

4 baskets of dim sum. The dim sum size is smaller than what we had in Malaysia.

And a glass of Thailand Ice Tea. Yums! Total cost for all above is THB200!

After our breakfast, we proceed for shopping in Kim Yong Market.

What is the bargain here? Of course, Zebra products.

And also nuts and dried berries. I bought a lot of cashew nuts, cranberries and raisins home! :)

We then head for lunch at Kan Eng restaurant.

We ordered seafood tom yam and asparagus. Yums! Total cost for this is THB335.

After our lunch, we proceed with our half day tour booked from Red Planet Hotel tour desk.

The tour which bring us to Municipal Park with 3 temple stops and also to floating market cost THB1200 for 2 pax. Expensive huh?

We spend less than half an hour at the floating market.

The size of the floating market is very small and the weather is too scorching hot.

Nothing interesting for us.

Not knowing where to head for dinner, we simply walk in Mr. Steak as we saw a lot of locals inside this shop. It is a localized western foods restaurant.

I'd ordered Grilled Pork chop.

And hubby ordered Grilled Salmon. Total cost is only THB228.

Haha! But of course the taste of the foods was not tempting.

We called it a day after walking too much!
