I actually did a day trip from Langkawi to Koh Lipe back in Jan 2017 and stayed for 6 hours before heading back to Langkawi around 5pm-ish. But I went to Koh Lipe again in Feb 2018 staying 3 nights there after staying 5 nights in Ao Nang/Krabi, 3 nights in Koh Phi Phi Don and 1 night in Koh Lanta
@@leechafertravels All of them except Koh Lanta (which I also liked too). Koh Lipe, Ao Nang/Krabi/Railey and Koh Phi Phi are my favourite Thai islands as well as Koh Samui and Koh Tao but I didn't like Phuket much. Personally I think Langkawi was much better than Phuket IMO
@@leechafertravels I spent a week in Langkawi doing the Cable Car/Sky Bridge, Mangroves Tour, Island Hopping Tour, Day trip to Koh Lipe, Going to Gunung Mountain at sunset, day trip to Pulau Payar Marine Park, Sunset Cruise at the Jetty, Climbing up the steps of Seven Wells Waterfall. Also visited Eagle Square at Kuah, Underwater World aquarium, Langkawi Bird Wildlife Park, Crocodile Adventureland, Durian Perangin Waterfalls, Temurun Waterfalls, Pasir Tengkorak Beach and Tanjung Rhu Beach - I stayed at Pantai Cenang. For Phuket, visited Big Buddha, Karon Viewpoint, Wat Chalong, Elephant Sanctuary, Promthep Cape, Surin Beach, Kamala Beac, Patong Beach (hated this place and area) and stayed at Kata Beach. Did day trips to Similan Islands, Koh Phi Phi and Coral Islands
Hi,i will go to malasia tour in february,do you recommend me to go to kho lipe from langkawi? perenthians ,they say that is no a good epoque to go in february,thanks
@@elvandammedegandia Yes I highly recommend you to go to Koh Lipe from Langkawi. It is an amazing island and an easy way to enter Thailand from Malaysia. The weather should be good in February too.👍🏻 Thanks for watching the video🙏🏻😊
Hi, We also have the same plan, we have return flight from Langkawi to Bangalore but going to koh lipe in between, in this case we will have to re enter malaysia again, is this allowed or do we need multiple entry visa ?
I can't see how to book these tickets online and all I can see online is that the ferries from penang to Langkawi and Langkawi to Koh Lipe are suspended since covid? Does this mean we may actually be able to make it form Penang to Koh Lipe now! So glad I saw this video because I was going to book transport all the way via Hat Yai which would have been like 15 hours! THANK YOU! life saver!
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you found the video useful. 🙏🏻😊😊😊 The ferries are definitely not suspended. I flew from Penang to Langkawi so I don't know about that ferry, but I did speak to people that had done it. Langkawi to Koh Lipe can be booked at various travel agents in Langkawi. Your accommodation may even be able to arrange it, as mine did. Have a great time. 👍🏻😊
I honestly couldn't say for sure as I've not done it myself and I haven't even been in South East Asia during that time of year. I think if it's not stormy on the day then you should be fine. It's not always stormy at that time of year, but there can be a lot of rain.
In the departure hall in Malaysia. Basically you just don't have it while on the boat. What if you keep your passport and YOU lose it? 🤷🏻♂️ Anybody losing a passport is not ideal, but also very unlikely.
@@leechafertravels awsome, just one other thing, ususally when flying to thailand they ask you for medical insurance and a return or onward ticket to enter, is that also the case with the island immigration ?
@@kaiziel No, nothing was asked for by immigration. It's a good job because I didn't have any onward travel booked!😁😁 Also....I've flown into Thailand approx 25 times and I have NEVER been asked about insurance! Who told you this? In fact, I don't think I've ever been asked about insurance ANYWHERE in the world! 🤷🏻♂️😊
@@leechafertravels I don't know it was on a RUclips video for Thailand entry, just one other thing, do they scan or search through your checked luggage/suitecase? I got a bunch of herbal supplements apparently it's not permitted?
@@kaiziel I'm not sure, I only travel with hand luggage, no checked baggage. I don't know if you're allowed to bring things like that. The insurance thing might have been specific to cov!d....when they first opened the borders back up I seen to remember that was one of the requirements.

Hi,
We also have the same plan, we have return flight from Langkawi to Bangalore but going to koh lipe in between, in this case we will have to re enter malaysia again, is this allowed or do we need multiple entry visa ?
You would have to the visa requirements for your country.
Thank you for watching the video, enjoy your trip.👍🏻 😊
Thanks for the reply, Yes its Visa free for indians as well but need to know about re entry.
Did you have a multiple entry visa ?
@ I didn't need a visa for either country.
from where you exchanged currencies?
I just used ATM's if I needed cash.
I can't see how to book these tickets online and all I can see online is that the ferries from penang to Langkawi and Langkawi to Koh Lipe are suspended since covid?

@@leechafertravels Amazing thank you so much!
@@wandertogether.bystephandsam You're welcome. 😊🙏🏻
do you think is a bad idea and dangerous to do this trip during summer (end of July) due to the storms?
I honestly couldn't say for sure as I've not done it myself and I haven't even been in South East Asia during that time of year.
I think if it's not stormy on the day then you should be fine. It's not always stormy at that time of year, but there can be a lot of rain.
It is...took the speedboat from pak bara to koh lipe what a life risking trip
What is the name of the port in Langkawi you left from as there are two. Thanks
I don't remember, but if you book it in town or at your accommodation they will tell you and it will say on the ticket.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻😊😊
How long did the ferry take and how much was the cost ?
Around 2 hours and it was £30 👍🏻
At what point they take your passeport? What if they loose it?
In the departure hall in Malaysia.
Basically you just don't have it while on the boat.
What if you keep your passport and YOU lose it? 🤷🏻♂️
Anybody losing a passport is not ideal, but also very unlikely.
There is any trips to New Zealand?
I don't have any planned.
I mean there is ferries to New Zealand from Malaysia?
@@رحال-009 I have no idea, sorry.
@@رحال-009No
Only 5 day visa in Thailand ??
No, 45 days.
The 5 days that i referred to was the 'pass' that is required to be on the island, due to it being a national park.
How is it with large luggage lile 30kg suitcase?
Shouldn't be a problem I don't think. 👍🏻😊
@@leechafertravels awsome, just one other thing, ususally when flying to thailand they ask you for medical insurance and a return or onward ticket to enter, is that also the case with the island immigration ?

Hey I'm trying to do a border crossing from Thailand to Malaysia via your route what was the cost one way?
It was £30.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻😊
is kohlipe expensive？
No not really. It's a little bit overpriced, as all of the island to be, but I wouldn't class it as expensive.
Do you need to get a visa ?
I didn't as I'm from the UK and we get 30 days visa free in Thailand (was 45 days at the time of filming).
How much it cost u to reach Thailand by ferry
It was 180 Malaysian Ringgit.
Thanks for watching. 😊👍🏻❤️
