Overview
Being 150 metres from Sunrise Beach, by the property's own measure, is the main draw at Chawlay Resort. That's close enough to stroll down for an early swim, and Sunrise is one of the better beaches on Lipe for snorkelling straight off the sand.
The resort pitches itself at budget-conscious travellers, with clean, straightforward rooms set among garden planting. Wi-Fi is free in the shared areas, and restaurants and snorkelling spots are close by.
Highlights
- About 150 metres from Sunrise Beach
- Garden setting
- Free Wi-Fi in public areas
- Restaurants and snorkelling spots nearby
- Aimed at travellers watching their budget
Location
Sunrise Beach runs along Koh Lipe's east coast, facing Koh Adang across the channel. Longtail boats on the beach take people over to Adang and to the reefs around the neighbouring islets.
Walking Street, with most of the island's cafés and bars, links the Sunrise side with Pattaya Beach, so the rest of Lipe is within walking distance.
Good to know
- Wi-Fi is listed for the public areas only, so the signal may be weaker in the rooms.
- The name echoes Chao Ley, the local name for Sunrise Beach and its sea-nomad community.
