South Thailand Pet-friendly Holidays

Castaway Resort Koh Lipe has one of the best atmospheres of anywhere we stayed in Thailand. The whole place has such a relaxed, beachy vibe and the beachfront setting is beautiful. We loved spending time there, the food was great, the staff were lovely and even the resort cats were adorable. Happy hour was also excellent 🍹 We stayed in a breezy beachfront bungalow which looked amazing and really suited the island feel of the resort. The only reason we personally wouldn’t stay again is the lack of air conditioning. Because of the jungle surroundings there are a lot of mosquitoes, so you need to sleep under the mosquito net, but once it’s down it blocks most of the airflow from the ceiling fan. We found it very difficult to sleep comfortably in the heat, even with the doors open and fan on. We completely understand the eco/natural concept of the resort, but adding fly screens to the doors/windows would make a huge difference as guests could keep airflow moving without worrying about mosquitoes. Overall though, a genuinely lovely resort with an amazing atmosphere and somewhere we’d absolutely return to spend time at while visiting Koh Lipe.
