One of many small islands in the Satun Province on the Andaman coast of the south of Thailand, Koh Bulon Port is one of the most luxurious port areas in Thailand. The beaches next to the port are renowned for being among the most beautiful in south east Asia, offering tourists the opportunity to sample snorkelling and swimming at their own leisure. For alternative pastimes, there is also the chance to go rock pooling, jungle trekking and shell collecting – a perfect way to spend a cost free day. The island is very much a natural habitat that hasn’t been impacted by modern technologies; there are no cars or even roads on the island so walking is the only viable option for transport. The area surrounding the port is largely engulfed by a forest area, therefore it is advised to wear long sleeves, sensible shoes and insect repellent to avoid mosquito bites. The port itself is relatively simplistic; there aren’t many amenities on offer due to the minimalist lifestyle of the island and the small population. The ferry routes on offer are to nearby islands belonging to Thailand, the longest crossing taking around two hours. With the quick sailings the vessels are fairly simplistic, so it is worthwhile taking food and drink on board.
Koh Lipe is the southernmost island belonging to Thailand, laying 60 km away from the mainland. There are frequent day trips to the surrounding islands, which are recommended as the easiest and most efficient way to travel. The island itself is part of the Adang Archipelago, a cluster of around ten islands, though Koh Lipe is the only one that is inhabited. There are myriad of resorts and hotels dotted around the island which are popular among tourists, many of them providing high quality service to their guests. For transport around the island there are official motorbike taxis that can fit a couple of people at a time, though it is advised to negotiate a price beforehand. The taxi drivers wear purple vests to make them more visible to customers, and they will often seek out tourists so finding a taxi often isn’t too difficult. There are several ferry routes departing the port each day, with the destinations changing throughout the day. The longer crossings are typically towards the late afternoon and the shorter crossings are towards the morning. It is worth noting that there are a limited number of ATM’s on the island, and they are often erratic and unreliable, so it is worthwhile saving some extra cash for any emergencies.
