HOW TO GET FROM LANGKAWI TO KOH LIPE

Getting the ferry from Langkawi was a breeze. Once you’ve arrived in Telaga Harbour Marina you will be given an immigration card to complete to use at Koh Lipe – as it’s an additional country. Thailand needs an entry visa, but you don’t need to worry about the requirement for a visa.

After your immigration card has been done, you’ll need to go through security and immigration prior to boarding the vessel. We waited a bit before we were allowed to get on the vessel. There was entertainment on board, typically a film on the way out. We watched Venom as we returned. It was an odd Indian film. However, they change the movie each and every so often.

The only problem was going through the immigration process on Pattaya Beach on Koh Lipe. The person was unorganized! We waited for hours before we could pick up our passports, and then go through the immigration process. The issue was that they sorted passports out by the country, and then by your family name. So when you came from a place close to one end of the alphabet you had to wait for a long time. We waited for a very long time to wait for the United Kingdom to be called out. God knows what people who were visiting for a day were required to go through. First, you had to get your passport from the gentleman and then get your passport authenticated.

After that, you will be photographed at the immigration counter and pay the entrance fee of 200 TBH and clean up fee. Then, before you are allowed to proceed your luggage/bag must be scanned. It was a good thing I was with my mom, so they didn’t check mine because they already searched hers. We finally got to our accommodations and relaxed on the island.

FROM LANGKAWI TELAGA TO KOH LIPE PORT

The trip between Langkawi’s Telaga Harbour to Koh Lipe’s Pattaya Port takes around 90 minutes.

The two Langkawi departure points to choose from: Kuah Jetty and Telaga Harbor.

The Kuah principal ferry terminal that is open all year is also used to service ferry services that go to Kuala Perlis, Kuala Kedah and Penang and Satun (Koh Lipe), Thailand.

It is important to note that the Telaga Harbor departure location is seasonal and is only open for a portion of the season. Telaga Harbor is the closest to the airport as well as the beaches that are popular, but it is a little less travel when using taxi services.
