Koh Lipe is a tiny island in the Andaman Sea, northwest of Penang and part of a group called the Butang Islands.
A remote, largely undeveloped island on the fringes of Tarutao National Park, Koh Lipe offers turquoise waters and clean white beaches. Diving and snorkeling are the two main pastimes, followed by dining and relaxing. The island is home to a sea gypsy settlement and is a popular jumping-off point for Andaman island tours.
