Koh Lipe

No camera, no underwater photos... A look back at my photographic setbacks with my Canon Powershot A95, in Thailand.

I haven't had much time to myself since I got back... I'm just starting to sort through my photos from Thailand. And I can't believe I've managed to bring back so many images, despite the vagaries of my camera. To begin with, here are my underwater photos of Koh Lipe.

Farewell Koh Lipe! I left the island and my bamboo bungalow on Sunrise Beach this morning, reluctantly. Despite a few disappointing dives, Koh Lipe is really pretty and deserves a relaxing stay of a few days.

I drooled, but that's it ... I'm Rescue Diver, "lifeguard". The training is physical, exhausting, but exciting.

Three days I've been on Koh Lipe, a tiny island in the very south of Thailand, on the edge of the Malaysian border. My camera is dead, but I've still got pictures. That's right! Solidarity and the D-system came into their own.

Just for fun, a first image of Koh Lipe... This is undoubtedly the island's best-known beach. This small spit of white sand is located at the northern end of Sunrise Beach, on the east coast, as its name suggests. Photogenic as can be.
