Koh Lipe (Thailand)

14th Feb 2011: "My Day" :-)
Koh Lipe has been our first destination in Thailand. A tiny island part of Tarutao National Park in the Andaman sea, located 70km on the southwest coast of Thailand near the Malaysian border. This island has 3 main beaches: Pattaya, Sunrise and Sunset. The first being the busiest and the last the most posh one, we stayed on Sunrise which was actually the most beautiful and quite one.
We've been spending the entire time in Koh Lipe with 3 frenchies that we met on our arrival.

Some pictures from the boat around the island. 

We went island hopping. We were completely alone on this one!!!


Nothing better than a watermelon slice to refresh. 


 Thailand islands are full of dogs. 

 As you can see, the snorkeling was unique. 

 So cuuuute!

 Outside our bungalow having a siesta. 


 Sunset on the boat.. the best!

Langkawi (Malaysia)

9th Feb 2011:
Langkawi is another island located just North of Penang on the border with Thailand. It's known as the jewel of the State Kedah an archipelago of 99 islands and Langkawi being the biggest one.
We spent 4 days there, mainly just relaxing on the beach and exploring the other islands. 

Still sleeping; on the ferry to Langkawi at 6.00am

On the beach, at last...

View from the bungalow :-)

Mourad slept for 2 hours on the beach that day...

 Sunset!


 Swimming at sunset, the best!

 Kopi Sussu time!

 Amazing spot in the centre of the island. 

 Like in New Zealand, we couldn't resist... 

 These waterfalls were on the top of a mountain so after the hike, it was a nice cool down. 


 Amazing view. 

 ... where do we go???

 As usual, the best way to go around is with a motorbike. 


 Finally we saw a dusky leaf monkey. 

Clandestino.
