Discover Value Koh Lipe Hotels

The Thai name is transliterated many different ways into English. The most common names in English are Koh Lipe, Koh Lipeh, Ko Lipey and Ko Lipe. Koh Lipe is part of the Tarutao National Marine Park and is directly south of the larger islands Ko Adang and Ko Rawi and about 50km from the island of Tarutao.

Koh Lipe Island is the most important island in the Koh Rawi Island-Koh Adang Island archipelago. It is flat and dominated by lowlands in the middle portion and measures only 4 square kilometers.

Due to the fact that water is available all year round, Koh Lee-peh Island is home to the largest human settlement of the region.

The 800 native inhabitants are sea gypsies, who settled on Koh Adang Island and Koh Rawi Island before the establishment of Koh Tarutao National Park and have their own language, tradition, religion, culture and dances that separate them clearly from the Thai people. The village has a community school, a clinic and some basic shops.
