The Chic Lipe

The Chic Lipe brings a social backpacker vibe to Koh Lipe, one of Thailand’s most beautiful southern islands. This 2-star hostel sits in the Koh Sarai Sub District, putting you right in the mix of the island’s laid-back atmosphere. You’re on an island where everything is walkable, so you’ll never be far from the action.

What makes The Chic Lipe stand out is its combination of budget-friendly pricing and social atmosphere. The property features an on-site bar – a real bonus for meeting fellow travelers and unwinding after beach days. Wi-Fi throughout the property keeps you connected, which isn’t always a given at budget places on remote Thai islands. At its nightly rate, you’re getting solid value without the frills of higher-end resorts.

Insider Tip: The bar becomes the evening social hub, so if you’re looking to meet other backpackers island-hopping through southern Thailand, grab a drink here after dinner.

Budget travelers and backpackers will love this place. The tradeoff is clear – you’re choosing location, community, and value over luxury amenities. This isn’t the place for room service or spa treatments, but if you want a clean bed, reliable Wi-Fi, and a chance to connect with other travelers, it delivers.

The Chic Lipe offers excellent value for Koh Lipe, where accommodation costs can climb quickly. The island itself is small enough that you’re within easy reach of all three main beaches – Pattaya Beach, Sunrise Beach, and Sunset Beach. Getting around means walking or renting a motorbike, as the island has no cars.
