The word Lipe comes from the language of the Urak Lawoi people meaning a sheet of paper because the island has a flat area and no high mountains. It is located about 2 kilometres south of ko Adang. The highlight of Ko Lipe is the nature of the coral surrounding the island, beautiful bays, and soft sandy beaches. The main beaches comprise: - Hat Pattaya or Hat Banda Ya has a concave shape and fine white sand. It is the busiest beach because it is full of facilities for tourists, e.g., walking streets, resorts, restaurants, transfer points for passenger boats, and excursion boats to different islands. - Hat Sunrise or Hat Chao Le is a beach where you can watch the beautiful sunrise with fine white sand. Accommodation is available including the location of Chao Le or the Urak Lawoi community. Most of them are engaged in local fishing. When HRH Princess Sirindhorn came to Ko Lipe, she bestowed the surname to the villagers as Han Thale. Old cultural traditions of the Urak Lawoi people include the floating tradition Per La Chak, which is held 2 times during the 13th -15th evening of the sixth lunar month (May) and the 12th lunar month (November). The villagers build a boat based on the belief that it is to float away suffering and misfortunes from the community. - Hat Sunset is where visitors can watch the beautiful sunset in an uncrowded atmosphere. It is quite peaceful, has privacy, and it is suitable for swimming.
