Weak and emotional
I wouldn't want to be too hopeful at the same time, I'm preparing myself for the worst.
Last week, I went to Koh Lipe, an island in Thailand. They say it's the Maldives of Thailand and I had to see it to believe it. True enough, the island is such a beauty. For those who've yet to go there, I would suggest you to go. If you want to go Maldives but do not have the penny, you can consider Koh Lipe.
I took a ferry from Langkawi, Telaga Harbour. Tickets were booked online in advance. So, upon reaching Telaga Harbour, we were asked to fill the embarkation form to enter Koh Lipe. As Lipe is part of Thailand, it took quite sometime to settle the immigration stuff.
Telaga Harbour itself is such a pretty place to take shots over there. The ferry ride was about 1hour30mins or so. Once, we've reached at sea of Koh Lipe, we were transferred to a small bump boat to reach the shore of Koh Lipe.As for this, I would advise you to wear sandals or slippers as upon leaving the boat, your legs will be wet, up to your knee. Hence, for those who can wear shorts, good to wear.
However, those who can't please fold up your pants to avoid being wet. Unless you don't mind being wet. It is also advisable to bring back pack rather than luggage because the transfer from one boat to another etc and to drag your luggage on the beach, I just find it a hassle.
Our passports were endorsed and return ferry timing were confirmed again and off we go to find our hotel. We didn't refer to any map initially. We only asked for directions and search for our way on our own till we realized that probably, we were alittle too far off. Only then, we referred to the map.
True enough, we exceeded the location of our hotel. Once we figured our directions, we headed to our hotel and I think the location of our hotel was good. Somewhere in the middle of the Walking Street alley. We stayed at Lantern Inn. At the lobby, there's a Chinese restaurant. Beside our hotel, there's an Indian restaurant. If you walk towards the Walking Street alley, there's a massage parlour. It's all within walking distance.
The hotel that we stayed in was compact. It was enough for us. The toilet was small but that didn't really bother us as we didn't stay in the hotel most of the time. It was clean and we got to know this hotel was quite new, built in this year. I'll share some of the hotel pictures in my next post.
We planned to stay for 5d4n at Lipe but on the 3rd day, we realized if we didn't spend a night at Langkawi, we would be rushing to catch our return flight. Hence, we made a decision to leave on our 4th day. Changing of date for return ferry to Langkawi was very easy. We approached the immigration counter and informed the person in charge. That's all.
Activities we did at Lipe were island hopping, snorkelling, kayak from an island to another island, massage, play by the beach and eat, a lot. There were a few halal restaurants there. So it's quite easy to find halal food there. If you like nightlife, which I don't mind going for but they only have bars. They also have bar which has movie at certain timings etc.
I love the ambience of the bars there. It has this cosy, chillax feel that you can just go to drink and read a book or spent time with someone you love.
Last day, we spent a day at Langkawi, The thought of shisha by the beach was dampened by the heavy rain in the afternoon. We spent time shopping and eating there. Shopping at Langkawi is way cheaper as compared to Lipe. Somehow, stuffs at Lipe are pretty much priced similar to my country.
That's pretty much about my recent trip.
On the other hand...things are not really getting better. News been revealed and so far, response is neutral I would say?
Well, I just hope that if things were meant to be, it will happen no matter what.
Yours truly,
saf
