Yuhoooo!! ..Finally its time to share my 4 days 3 nights Solo Trip to Koh Lipe Island!! Well, i find it hard to share everything that happened during my stay ... i decided to only highlighted what important experiences that i got from my short vacation...
 |
| Wonderment of God's Creation!! |
The rumors about how Koh Lipe known as Little Maldives has its own truth. Gorgeous!! fantastic!! lovely!! Paradise!! was words that can describe this Island.
White Fluffy sands with beautiful turquoise sea colours is what makes the view mesmerizing and enchanted.
Well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
God creation was FANTASTIC and BEAUTIFUL.
I learn that living life is about seeing the beauty of God's creation and to wonder how God is powerful and creative enough in creating the world!! ** (Genesis 1:1-31)2) New Experiences Open Up New Ability
 |
| Patient + Excitement + Curiosity + Hungry + Nervous |
Upon arrival at the Island and before getting back our passport at the counter ** we have to register our return ticket to the company for them to arrange small boat for our return date and to really make sure things are arranged properly.
Patient are needed at the Immigration counter since i waited almost one and a half hours for my name to be called. Urghhh!!
**(Immigration will keep every passengers Passport before boarding the Ferry in Langkawi and will return it back once arrives at the said destination - Koh Lipe)
Most of the locals in Koh Lipe have slight literacy of English and some of them are not friendly at all. I assume may be due to inability to converse in English makes them think stay silent is better than expressing things. "Can you speak English?" - i need to ask this question if i wanted to ask something to the locals. Took me quite a long time to look for my place to stay because the place names is different from what had written in the map and everyone is confused about it.
Yeah ~ Finally got my own bed!! This is my first experience doing backpacking so i kind of nervous of how am i going to adapt myself to my dorm mates and more. I learn that New experience open up new ability and new life perspective!! ~ Learning through experiences
 |
| Locals of Koh Lipe!! |
Seeing the best in others is what i learn from my trip!! Instead of looking for others weaknesses i am able to see the positive side of a person!!
Not only to the locals but also my dorm mates ... each one of us have our own uniqueness and i see all beautiful and positive things in them.
Dorm Mates : Eva (Spain), Sabrina (Holland), Meggie (England) and their friend of friend Jenica (Netherlands) ... One Value they shared in common ~ The independence Life!! The braveness of travelling alone !! and their passion of Travelling around the world (which i think one of my passion in life too)
4) Total Relaxation :~ Being Flexible is Important in Life
 |
| Studying the Map!! |
Wow ... this is what i call as TOTAL RELAXATION!! let go of burdens and business and be fully to own self ~ being a little selfish in giving the best to our self.
Pictures taken on my 1st day in Koh Lipe where i looked up for Map, studied the Map and think and plan on what to do and how to spend my 4 days 3 nights stay in this Island.
Believe me even if we planned it out but at times we need to be spontaneous and do things based on the situation rather than follow what had been planned.
I learn that being Flexible is important in life!! when we are flexible, we will be more open to any possibilities!!
Three famous beaches in Koh Lipe :- Pattaya Beach (Where i am staying), Sunrise Beach and Sunset Beach.I am full of curiosity about those beaches and i did explored all the said beaches. My conclusion:- Pattaya Beach is the night famous beach ... most of the bars can be seen along this beach. Sunrise Beach has its own beauty where we can see others small island from this beach. Schools are located at this beach. Most of the expensive bungalows can be found along this beach. Sunset beach ... Beautiful mountain views, tired of walking, and not very suitable for a swim when the water and beaches were not so clean.
5) Best Thing To Do In Life - To Be Our Own Self
 |
| 2nd Day ~ exploring Sunrise Beach with Meggie |
Here's how i Spent my first day exploring the Island with Meggie (My dorm mates). We really had fun while exploring the Island. Only the thing that i don't really like is the sun!! when its too bright and too sunny, it really crawl and sting my skin. ~ Malaysian used to expose to the sun so Sun was the problem for Malaysian.
Not to Foreigner. Meggie like the sun. She even can lay down under the sun and for a swim down to the sea in the middle of the day when the sun heated the most!!
OMG!! not me haha. I prefer a morning and evening swim rather than a day swim. Even so, i need to reapplied Sunblock to all over my body while walking along the beach.
Despite of the negative sunny day experiences, one amazing things about what the sun does was helping to make the sea views even more beautiful. You will never get the Turquoise sea coluor when there is no sun. So Everything have its own Pro and cons.
 |
| Sunrise Beach with Fun!! |
Even the sky was so blue and beautiful when there is sun around. I bought a new bikini which i simple ask opinion and suggestion from the shop owner and i ended up not too fancy about it. Why? because its a bit loose on my body!!
This is my first experience wearing a bikini on the beach haha. its Fun and i am becoming more open...Moreover who cares? not like i have someone that i know around me ~ Wink!!
I learn that to be Our own self is the best thing to do in life ~ doesn't really care about what others said / think about us .. what important is how we see our self as a person!! Love Our own self doesn't mean we are becoming selfish .. its mean we truly accepting our self and self acceptance is very important value that lead to self satisfaction and self happiness!!
6) Learning Eating Ethics
 |
| Exploring Walking Street Market + Dinner with them |
Walking Street is where the center of attraction was. Food, Stuff, Cloths, Bikini,Souvenir and massage can all be found in walking street. But in the evening the street will be too crowded with people and the street road was not so wide so be ready to bump with others!!
Seven-11, phamarcy and clinic also available at walking street. can you imagine how busy will be the street at night?
Food was superb in walking street. There are variety of choices. I always go for local food if possible
and i love to try street food.
 |
| Breakfast + seeking excitement!! |
Breakfast with Meggie, i learn new thing about England Eating ethics which i never border much at all. She taught me of how when we eat in any restaurant, how to let others knows that we finished eating by putting together the fork and spoon or knife in one side. My normal eating habits was putting my fork at the left hand side and spoon at the right hand side and make sure both spoon and fork faces are closing down and facing the plate.
well well well ... i never take any eating protocol class before so my way of eating are based on what my culture teach me. ~ Doesn't it interesting to at least learn a new thing each day??
7) Dream the Possibility
 |
| 3th Day ~ Exploring sunset Beach |
Spending my Third Day exploring Sunset Beach with Meggie!! Its a bit hilly from Pattaya beach to Sunset Beach ... with only depending on Map at hands and asking local (Lucky enough if they can understand and give correct direction to you) we finally reached the destination!!
Bungalows are built exactly at the front of the sea. I wish to have the opportunity to wake up in the morning, having breakfast at the balconi with facing the beautiful sea views and relaxing with my Love one!! haha ~ What a dream.
8) Self Appreciation |
| Bottle with small sea shell !! |
Saw this bottle floating on the sea and trying to become one of the concern person, i go and pick it up with an intention to throw it in the dustbin ... that's when i realized how beautiful was this bottle with bunch of small sea shells sticking on it and makes an interesting effect on it.
well after the shoot i eventually give the bottle to one of the shop along the beach ask them to throw it since i find it hard to look for a bin.
I really love this pictures. May be its nothing for you when you look at it but it means something for me when i am the one who took this picture.In any travel trip you made, there will be one or few pictures that you love and proud at it!!
9) Having Fun
 |
| Having Fun!! |
Getting new friends, Dancing with locals and Do new things that i never did before are actually what i love most in my trip to Koh Lipe.Doesn't mean doing a solo trip is not good. In fact Solo trip is the best trip for those who loves adventure in life!!
This is the beauty of doing solo backpacking trip ~ Need to Gain more confident in Travelling Alone!!When i said travelling alone - doesn't mean that we don't have friends in life. Sometimes when we really feel like doing something and the only thing that prohibit us from doing it is "friend" be more courageous to do it alone!!
10) To See The Best in One Self
