phetphet Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Today, went to see The Mechanic 2 starring Jason Statham. Part of it...a good 15 mins, shot in Koh Lipe. Showing the long white sand beaches, and making it look very quiet, and idyllic. I know it's a lot more built up than it used to be, but I wonder if this will attract even more tourists to what is quite a small island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THERE ARE NO CARS ON ANY OF THE ISLANDS IVE BEEN TO. The only way to get to these island is by sea plane or speed boat. all the islands i have been to have been very quite, tropical and peacefully romantic. the islands i been to were all 5 star. i cant comment on any 3 or 4 star resorts.
