Koh Lipe, Thailand

Hey loves, how has your week been? As I mentioned in all my social medias, I went to Koh Lipe in Thailand for a vacation this early June. Koh Lipe is an island located nearby to Langkawi. 

We drove all the way up to Thailand's dock and we stayed overnight at a resort called The Lake Terrace Resort. The resort is surrounded by a lake, but that's not the main point of my post lol.

We took a 2-hour speed boat trip to reach Koh Lipe. The boat made all of us drowsy and most of the passengers puked (Not me). So if you were to take the boat there next time, try sitting at the side and bring plastic bags just in case. 




 The hotel that I stayed was called Bundhaya Resort. Couldn't really remember the exact rate but it was around 360/night.





This was the resort that we lived in. The whole resort was made out of wood, and it was pretty spacious. There were lazy chairs outside but the amount of mosquitos out there was sick.

There are 3 types of beaches in Koh Lipe: Sunset beach, Sunrise beach and Pattaya beach. Our resort was facing Pattaya beach so we didn't get to see sunrises nor sunsets.

Did a short bikini photoshoot with Jane since we haven't been to a beach for quite some time. The seawater was really clear and I'm actually in love with the strong waves and breeze there.


 My family portrait is cooler than yours ;P

We didn't get to do any water sports or snorkelling as most of them were closed due to the strong waves. So we practically spent 3 days here on the beach.

They offered buffet style breakfast and I was quite impressed with the amount of food they were serving.


 First round, pancakes drizzled with chocolate, sunny side up and pork bacon


 Second round, pork bacon, sunny side up, chicken ham, lettuce and tomato sandwich.

I was so full that I skipped lunch lol. After breakfast, we went to the beach again. Skip the photoshooting, we dipped ourselves into the sea this time.


 We walked all the way to the sunrise beach after lunch.


The Walking Street. This is where all the grocery and restaurants are gathered.


After half a 20-30 minute walk, we're finally here.


The night life there wasn't as good as I expected. People there don't really drink or go to pubs lol.


 This was the only bar there, and it was kinda empty.

 Take my advice, try boarding a larger speedboat there even though it costs slightly more. You will save up a lot of time travelling on the sea and you save up puking on the boat.

And of course, bring along mosquito repellent when you go, you'll thank me one day.

Thank you for reading, 
hope you liked it xx

Beach & Beyond

Hey loves! I just came back from a vacation to Hatyai, Thailand on Wednesday so I didn't get to update my blog. Had so much good food there, and gained a lot of weight of course :P Got so much tanner too :((

Went to Port Dickson for a getaway on Thursday with the family. It was a spontaneous one-day trip and I was really excited! It's been years since I last been to Port Dickson. In my memory, that place was horrifying, filled with rubbish. But I was shocked to see how clean the beach was! The water was clear instead of brownish.


It rained in the afternoon and we were lucky that the rain stopped when we reached, and rained again when we left! 




And of course, how would I ever miss this opportunity to do a tiny shoot in the beach?

My outfit seems to be a combination of all the new clothes that I bought from Hatyai lol. Decided to wear my bikini since I'm going to the beach. Wore the tank top as a bikini cover-up, which doesn't fully cover up my bikini! Wasn't supposed to wear denim to the beach but who cares anyway? High waist shorts can never go wrong, but the important thing is, make sure you get the right colour!

Oversized denim jackets are definitely a MUST NEED for everyone! They're not only fashionable, they actually go well with anything! I've been looking for this exact jacket high and low and I finally got it for a really good price in Hatyai! It gives you the Back-To-80's look, which I couldn't love more!

 Anyway, it was my first time shooting in the beach, wasn't really sure how I should pose! Since SPM ended, I will be able to blog more frequently now and I'm really excited for my upcoming posts, are you?

Thank you for reading,
Until then xx
