Wait and wait, according to our ticket, immigration officer shall reach and stamp our passport for departure at 8.30am, but there is no one till 8.45am. Our boat suppose depart at 9am, but no one there except both of us!!! sweat! Then 5 min later, a few local guys was here and ask us whether we are going to Koh Lipe, phew, I felt relief, since they preparing stuff for boat, then we thought we are safe but when I looked at my watch, it already 9am, then one of the guy came to us ask us to show the boat ticket, he told us Tigerline no service to Koh lipe as our trip on 26 Apr, it is almost the end of the season, there is not much people visit Koh lipe, the company cancel their service.
I am so freak and scared. I call the contact person printed on my ticket. Mr. Adam. He said the same, there is no service by Tigerline to Koh lipe. What I suppose to do? Mr. Adam said Tigerlines office located in Koh Lipe Island, so if I want to get my refund, must get from them. RM 450 fly away? Felt so lost, so he suggest us to buy a new ticket which they do operate speedboat to Koh Lipe, which by Andaman Cruise service, price will be at normal price without discount. RM 120 one way, 2pax round trip at RM 480. We have no choice but to adhere their suggestion.
They drove us to immigration centre to stamp our passport then drove us back to pier, when we reach to pier, we saw around 8 of other tourists waiting, felt more safe now and we pay them for new ticket, here we depart.... Upon arrive, we were welcome by few Thai Guys, help collect our passport for arrival immigration stamping purpose. Here I explain to him that I need to look for Tigerline office. He brought me to him Mr Singsha.
I explain my situation and showed my ticket to tigerline personnel Mr Singsha, then he said, I was board with the tigerline speedboat just now, I was shocked and felt cheated, I told him that I bought another ticket, then he requested me to show him my new ticket which I purchased this morning.
He explained to me that both Tigerline and Andaman Cruise were travel agent who authorised by Forra speedboat for boat ticket service. He show me that both my ticket was printed with Mr Adam name and contact number which I did not realize. Both ticket really with same person contact!!!
The real situation, I was conned by Mr. Adam and gang, according to Tigerline office, we are third cases!!! If we purchase our ticket from Tigerline, the profit will be goes to Thai agent Tigerline. If we purchase from Andaman Cruise, profit will goes to Adam and gang.
OMG, what should I say?? Conned by own Malaysian! and I need Thai guy to refund me. Mr Singsha said he willing to refund my depart ticket fees since I had used new ticket, so I get back RM 240 and he want me to use the Tigerline ticket to board the speedboat upon return and get my return ticket refund from Andaman Cruise. I told him I need to discuss with my friend
