Bangkok, Thailand, October 27, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Castaway Resort-koh lipe Thailand’s newest up and coming destinations.

Short introduction to one of Thailand’s newest up and coming destinations,an island called Koh Lipe that is situated nearly as far south on the Andaman coast as one can go without leaving Thailand. Koh Lipe has over the last few years become the main hub for travelers island-hopping their way up and down the Andaman coast for two reasons: one being its location within one of Thailand’s oldest National Marine Parks called Tarutao National Marine Park. This area with its checkered past, was once used by the Thai government to intern its political dissidents, during the pre World War years. During the war these dissidents, left without support, turned to piracy along with their guards, which made the area infamously dangerous for ships going up and down the Malaccan straits.

With these days long gone and the introduction of the marine park very early on in Thailand's efforts to preserve its natural beauty, has afforded Tarutao National Marine Park much needed protection other islands and areas have not received, leaving the park with its 50 odd uninhabited islands pretty much untouched, with Koh Lipe the only place to stay, right in the middle. The second reason being that it is now possible via Koh Lipe to access islands across the border: the Malaysian islands of Langkwai and Penang, without ever stepping foot on the mainland, all because of the recent addition of a small customs’ post on Koh Lipe. One of the best most popular places to stay on the island is a small boutique resort on Koh Lipe that has become quite popular over the last few years with tourists and locals alike, because of its design and its location on this beautiful island of Koh Lipe. Castaway Resort has built the reputation for its customer service, its unique design and providing something quite special to its guests.
