If you're thinking of coming to Koh Lipe to "rest and relax" – forget about it right now. Don't waste your time and money.
This isn't an island, it's a 24/7 noise factory.
Non-stop engines, motorcycles, scooters, taxis, and boats screaming along the beaches like they're competing to see who can make the most noise. It never stops – not at 2 AM and not at 11 AM.
Getting here is pure torture: 6 hours on a speedboat that breaks your back, costs as much as a business class flight, and leaves you feeling like cargo.
Then you arrive at your hotel/hostel:
You pay the price of a 5-star resort on other islands, but get a room without air conditioning in 40°C heat.
If there is AC – you pay double, and even then it works like a broken fan from 1998.
I arrived, slept one night, and ran away.
Extremely disappointed. Nothing here justifies all the crazy hype.
Do yourselves a huge favor:
Skip Koh Lipe completely.
There are plenty of much more beautiful, cheaper, quieter, and actually relaxing islands that give you real value for your money.
Koh Lipe isn't "paradise" – it's a loud, overpriced tourist trap.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Δυστυχώς, οι κριτικές μιλούν για μια εποχή περασμένη. Σήμερα, η παραλία είναι γεμάτη σκουπίδια και βάρκες. Το νερό είναι θολό και γεμάτο νεκρό κοράλλι.
Ελπίζαμε για κάτι καλύτερο.
Πού υποτίθεται ότι να κολυμπάς και να μην μυρίζεις όλο αυτό το καύσιμο.
Λυπηρό.
