The best mojito in Thailand, dinner cooked by a Thai rasta, and a job offer. For being my least favorite island, Koh Lipe did lead to one of my most memorable experiences.
Koh Lipe was meant to be one of those perfect island paradises that you read and fantasize about. Perhaps the fact that I had heard about it meant that it was already too late. Perhaps I should have known better than to visit six years after initially hearing about it. Koh Lipe was nothing close to the place I hoped to find.
