What to bring?

As Koh Lipe is a fairly remote island, there are few facilities. Most importantly, there is no ATM or bank, so you should bring enough cash to cover your stay. We do accept credit cards for diving and resort guests, however, there is a 5% banking charge to use this facility. We also accept most hard currencies, such as euros, dollars and pounds… but we do not accept travelers cheque's. The nearest bank and ATM is in Langu, near Pak Bara. There are a few small shops on Koh Lipe where you can buy provisions and some useful items, but we recommend that you bring with you things such as sunscreen and medication etc. Some items can also be bought in Pak Bara or Langu.
