There's really only one street in Koh Lipe and that's Walking Street. Thankfully it's not tacky in any way. Plenty of good restaurants and bars. One or two massage places and plenty of dive shops. One or two supermarkets and clinics. Even the odd upmarket weed shop.

The main attraction of the island.
Full of diving schools, restaurants, hostels, massage studios, souvenir and clothing shops, supermarkets, shops and stalls of fruits and cannabis... and the most famous one on the walking street.... the old man with his ambulant car selling coconuts donuts for 10 thb singing a soft song to attract customers. Otherwise my opinion is extremely negative, the street smells bad, in some areas it even makes you want to vomit, rubbish everywhere, dogs mostly badly treated walk down the street hoping to get food or affection from a tourist, an almost unbearable sound at night coming from the bars. The street itself is narrow for the amount of people passing by, I noticed that many tourists walk down the street barefoot, then find it strange to contract mycoses and other infections.
The massage studios are usually small rooms without windows or light, I felt a bit suffocated in some that I visited

I absolutely love Koh Lipe and will be sad to leave. Ferry drop off on Pattaya beach, it’s only footsteps along the sand are you’re on Walking Street, more or less takes you from one side of the island to the other. Everything you need is on hand, the people are so friendly, prices fair, massages plentiful and reasonably priced. Was a bit worried after Covid that it might be too quiet, but most things open and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended. Wander off Walking Street and it’s beautiful, parts reminded me of a Disney film set, stunning!
Easy to book ferry for onward travel.

during the low season and it was not very crowded, even some of the bars and shopkeepers were closed, but it still has a very lovely and beautiful environment, I fell in love with it and came back to walk this street as soon as possible
من در فصل لوسیزن اینجا بودم و خیلی شلوغ نبود حتی برخی از مغازه دار ها نیز بسته بودند ولی با این وجود محیط بسیار دوست داشتنی و زیبای داره , من که عاشقش شدم و حتی دوباره برمیگردم برای قدم زدن در این خیابان

A lot of dogs.
But just try to ignore them.
Less people travelling so not very crowded.
Many shops selling souvenir, handmade bags.
Lots of shops accept debit and credit card.
No need to bring lots of cash with u.
Have halal food around also.

This is where you refuel yourself with good decent original Thai food and street food. You can also get souvenirs here and get yourself a relaxing massage after kayaking and hiking at Koh Adang view point.
There so many eateries, shops,massage parlor to choose from

I traveled to Koh Lipe a number of times. Once it had been a sort of secret jewel. It now has become an overcrowded and overcommercialized piece of beaches with two hills attached. Countless noisy longtail boats disrupt a 'romantic' stay at a beach, countless greedy locals try to milk foreigners' money with meaningless entertainment. I will need to find a replacement jewel.
