Overhyped, Underwhelming – Not Worth the Time or Money
蛋岛的点评
点评：We were sold Koh Kai Nai (Cat Island) as a charming, family-friendly half-day excursion — just a short 1-hour transfer from our hotel in Kamala Beach. Reality? Try 2 hours each way in mini bus transport stopping at several other hotels. That’s 4 hours of travel time.
Our operator, PH Marine, was below average at best. The welcome facilities were lacklustre compared to other tours we’ve experienced in Thailand. The “English-speaking guide” might be better described as a “barely-English guide”. Sweet but difficult to understand.
This was advertised as a swimming/snorkelling trip — yet we were told it wasn’t safe to swim. Turns out, he was right. The sea was rough, the waves were crashing, and the water murky. I get that weather happens, but the experience was so far removed from the glossy brochure that it felt almost comical.
Once on the island, it only got worse. It’s filthy. So much so that we were explicitly warned not to go barefoot due to broken glass from drunken visitors. Not exactly ideal when you have a curious six-year-old eager to explore. And yes — there was glass everywhere. Luckily, the tour operator sells overpriced aqua shoes (of course they do).
The locals? I hate to say it, but they were relentless. Before we even stepped off the boat, we were swarmed — photographers shoving lenses in our faces, touts trying to flog parasailing, jet skis, and cocktails all overpriced for a captive market. And yes, you’ll even pay to pee too.
The only highlight? Dozens of cats roaming around like they run the place (which, to be fair, they kind of do). Cute, yes — but not worth the ordeal.
Would I recommend it?
No. Save your time, money, and sanity. Lounge by the hotel pool or book a proper sightseeing trip to Phi Phi or beyond.

翻译：我们被宣传说凯奈岛（猫岛）是一个迷人的、适合家庭的半日游——从我们在卡马拉海滩的酒店出发，只需短短1小时车程。但事实呢？试想一下，单程要坐2个小时的小巴，中途还要停几家酒店。也就是说，行程时间足足4个小时。
我们的旅行社PH Marine充其量只能说是低于平均水平。与我们在泰国体验过的其他旅行相比，迎宾设施简直乏善可陈。“英语导游”或许更应该被描述成“几乎不会说英语的导游”。虽然很贴心，但很难理解。
宣传说这是一次游泳/浮潜之旅——但我们被告知游泳不安全。结果证明，他是对的。海面波涛汹涌，海浪拍打，海水浑浊。我知道天气不好，但这次的体验与宣传册上宣传的完全不同，感觉简直滑稽可笑。
到了岛上，情况变得更糟了。那里脏乱不堪。甚至有人明确警告我们不要赤脚，因为醉酒游客会砸碎玻璃。这可不是个好主意，尤其是带着一个好奇心强、渴望探索的六岁孩子。没错，到处都是玻璃。还好，旅行社卖的是高价的水上鞋（他们当然卖）。
当地人？我真不想这么说，但他们真是无情。还没等我们下船，就被人围了个水泄不通——摄影师把镜头塞到我们脸上，兜售滑翔伞、水上摩托和鸡尾酒的黄牛，为了迎合这个垄断市场，这些都卖得高价。没错，你甚至连上厕所都要花钱。
唯一的亮点是什么？几十只猫咪四处游荡，就像它们在管理着这个地方一样（说实话，它们也算是个管理者）。很可爱，没错——但不值得这么折腾。
我会推荐吗？
不。省时间、省钱，还能省心。在酒店泳池边休息，或者预订一次去皮皮岛或更远地方的正式观光行程。
