About one year before the pandemic began, my family and I went to Koh Lipe in Thailand. We were enthralled by the pristine, emerald sea and fine white sand on Sunrise beach there. It was such a memorable experience that we found ourselves longing for another relaxing island escape as soon as we got home.

We searched for other islands that we could go to around the Satun Province and chanced upon a small island known as Koh Bulon Lae. This is said to be an unspoiled island (or undeveloped), tucked in the middle of the Andaman Sea, among several other small islands.
