Come here for the snorkeling.
Forget Koh Lipe for snorkeling. If you have ever done any snorkeling in decent waters, you will be disappointed in Koh Lipe for snorkeling.
Instead, spend 200 Thb , and hire a boat from Sunrise Beach to take you to Koh Adang and back. A 20 minute ride in a longtail taxi boat and they will drop you off at the dock in front of the Tarutao Park headquarters.
Once on the beach , head RIGHT, and walk around the sandy spit. Head another 100 to 300 yards up the beach to a huge area that is roped off with red buoys. You cannot miss it. Head into the water there and prepared to be enchanted and amazed by the coral varieties, the fish, the starfish, moray eels and last but definitely not least, the giant claims with their iridescent and multicolored mantles. Truly a wonder.
There are shaded areas under various trees 🌳 up the beach where you can rest between snorkel adventuring.
BE PREPARED when coming to Koh Adang to snorkel . BRING WATER, SUNSCREEN, FOOD, HAT, COVER UPS ,TOILET PAPER AND SNORKEL GEAR.
Restrooms available in the Park
Limited park cottages are available for about 1500 Thb. if interested in spending a night or two.
Final Take...clean off the mask and scoot over to Koh Adang. You will not be disappointed.
Highly recommended.
