Merry Christmas from Koh Lipe


We hope everyone had a great holiday. Christmas day for us was much the same as the day before. Everyday consists of waking up and getting breakfast and coffee. After breakfast we tend to relax on our porch and then walk down to the beach below to find some lounge chairs. In between sunbathing sessions we read or go snorkeling. In the afternoon, we venture into “town” which is just a path into the jungle with various shops, restaurants and bars along the way. We’ll eat some apple pancakes or fruit shakes and find a dinner spot (usually serving BBQ shrimp, steak, tuna, pork and chicken). Our vegetarian diet has slowly been replaced with a carnivorous one.




In the evenings we tend to find a nice beach bar to relax at. Most are outfitted with floor pillows, candles and hammocks where you can hear the waves of the ocean mixed with the music. Last night we caught a fire show at Karma Bar (just below our place). It was a great show with performers on rocks in the middle of the water, and dancing on either end of the beach, etc. It was one of the best shows we’ve seen. We've included a short video at the end of this blog post.

Well, this will be it for now. Merry Christmas everyone!
