walking street hostel by new wave

The rooms at walking street hostel by new wave measure 52 m² or 36 m², and the 52 m² rooms share a bathroom with a shower and toiletries. Rooms can have air conditioning, linens, a socket near the bed, a mirror, a closet and an in-room safe box, depending on the room.

Beds include female capsules, bunk beds and single beds, and some rooms sleep up to three guests. A 36 m² room has a city view with a balcony or terrace, while the 52 m² rooms overlook the pool. Extra beds depend on the room chosen, so the capacity is the key number to check when you book.

The hostel has an outdoor swimming pool, a children's swimming pool and a garden, with restaurants, a halal restaurant and room service on site. A 24-hour front desk is open, and the property also has shops, lockers, luggage storage, safety deposit boxes and laundry service.

For getting around and planning trips, there is an airport transfer, and boating and tours are offered, along with a taxi service. Tours can be arranged, and there is a cash withdrawal service and a family room.

Lockers and safety deposit boxes are available for valuables, and the garden is an outdoor space on site. Luggage storage is also offered for guests who need to keep bags on the property.

Ko Lipe is a small island in the Andaman Sea, off the coast of Satun province in southern Thailand, with no bridge to the mainland, so every trip ends by boat. The hostel stands 50 m from Pattaya Beach, in the village, where the pedestrian Walking Street runs close to the sand, with cafes, bars, a dive shop and other shops nearby. Beach life on the island is close at hand from here.

The Koh Lipe Ferry Terminal is 150 m away, where the boats from the mainland arrive. Trang Airport is 119 km away on the mainland, and the last stretch of the journey is by boat. Sunrise Beach lies 650 m away, and Koh Adang, 6.2 km off, is part of Tarutao National Park and is reached by boat.

A good first day starts on Pattaya Beach and the Walking Street, then continues with a walk to Sunrise Beach. For a longer outing, a boat trip to Koh Adang gives a different stretch of the Andaman coast, though rough seas can stop boats, so keep a spare day for island trips. Ferry boats connect the island with the mainland, so the Koh Lipe Ferry Terminal is the starting point for any trip beyond the island.
