    Koh Lipe, Thailand

    If you’re looking for a relaxing holiday, there is no shortage of beautiful islands and beaches to explore in South-east Asia. Though if you are seeking adventure, you’re going to want to check out Thailand’s best-kept secret, Koh Lipe.

    Five things to do

    1. Visit: Koh Lipe is Thailand’s southernmost island and is situated in the Tarutao National Park, near the Malaysian border. It’s the kind of place you dream about when you’re thinking of an island getaway: white sandy beaches, turquoise blue waters, colourful coral reefs, delicious Thai food and laidback good vibes. There are no direct connections, so travel to the island requires time and planning. The simplest and quickest way from Bangkok is to fly to Hat Yai (known as the food city of Thailand), take a taxi to Pak Bara pier and then a speedboat to Koh Lipe.

    During the low season the island can feel like your own private paradise. Serendipity Beach Resort has rustic timber villas built into the hillside overlooking a secluded beach.
