Koh Lipe... Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Just when I thought it couldn't get any more beautiful, any more picture-perfect, Koh Lipe comes along and once again blows my mind. Having been to countless beaches in the past few weeks, I can say with some certainty that this is perhaps the best beach we have encountered. I'm talking fine, white sand, perfect warm aqua-marine blue water that has clarity like I have never seen. Something like 40 meter underwate...

In Thai "Koh Muk" means "Pearl Island" and this beauty definitely lives up to her name. We hopped down to Muk from Koh Lanta by ferry and what a sweet ride it was. After the obligatory 30 minute delay (lest we forget we are operating on Thai time) we pulled out of Lanta and dropped our feet over the side of the boat where they were rhythmically sprayed with water as we buzzed across the turquoise blue Andaman Sea.

Fortunately for me I live in Singapore at the moment and plane tickets around Asia are pretty affordable…so...

We found our way very quickly to our accommodation, Baan Taveesri, thanks to our earlier scooter reconiscence mission and within a matter of minutes we had thrown our stuff down, donned swimsuits, loaded a day pack and were headed to the beach for our long awaited beach day. The beach at Ao Nong is only OK by Thai standards so we hopped on a long boat for the 15 minute ride to Railay where the beaches are positively spectacular. The "long boat" is an amazing inv...
