Langkawi Information
Langkawi at a glance
Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea and a part of the state of Kedah in Malaysia. The main island is known for its amazing diving spots, the cable car and sky bridge, beautiful beaches, mangroves rich in fauna and flora, and countless other great activities. Langkawi is also a duty-free area which means duty-free alcohol, cheap shopping, and chocolates!
Its position close to the Malaysia–Thailand maritime border makes Langkawi a natural stepping stone between the two countries, which is why so many travellers arrive or leave by sea rather than flying.
How to get to Langkawi
Because Langkawi is an island group, every arrival involves a crossing. On this site there are 43 routes bookable routes serving Langkawi, with fares starting from ฿1,400.
Choose your travel date and passenger numbers first — availability, departure times and journey lengths are shown live for each service, so you always see current information rather than an estimate.
Operators serving Langkawi
Services are run by operators including Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club, alongside Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Each operator sets its own timetable, vehicle type and baggage policy, and these are listed on the booking page for the service you select.
Popular routes to and from Langkawi
The island connects to a well-known cluster of Thai islands and mainland hubs across the Andaman coast:
- Koh Lipe — the closest and most frequently booked connection, popular with travellers crossing the border by sea.
- Koh Phi Phi — a longer multi-leg journey up the Andaman coast.
- Koh Lanta — a common stop for travellers heading north towards Krabi.
- Koh Ngai and Koh Kradan — quieter islands in the Trang group.
- Krabi — the mainland gateway for onward buses, minivans and flights.
Additional destinations also appear in the search results. Compare the full list of Langkawi ferry routes and connections to see which are running on your date.
Ports and arrival points
Crossings to and from Langkawi use the island's main jetty terminal, where immigration facilities are available for international arrivals and departures. Your ticket confirmation shows the exact pier name for your service, along with the check-in point.
On the Thai side, services typically use the piers serving the islands and mainland towns listed above. Pier locations occasionally differ between operators on the same route, so check the terminal name printed on your ticket rather than assuming a single departure point.
Onward transport connections
Langkawi links into a wider network of sea and land transport. From the Thai mainland, travellers commonly continue by bus and minivan connections along the Andaman coast to reach towns and transfer hubs further north or south.
Combined journeys are sold as a single booking where the operators run a connecting service, so you do not need to buy each leg separately. Where a route requires a transfer, the change point is shown in the itinerary before you pay.
Practical travel information
- Border crossing: journeys between Langkawi and Thai destinations cross an international border. Carry a passport valid for onward travel and allow extra time at immigration.
- Check-in: arrive at the pier well before departure. Operators close check-in ahead of the scheduled time and boarding is not guaranteed for late arrivals.
- Sea conditions: Andaman Sea crossings can be affected by weather, particularly during the monsoon months, and operators may adjust or cancel sailings.
- Seasonality: some island services do not run year-round. The search results only show departures that are actually operating on your chosen date.
- Baggage: speedboats have limited luggage space. Check the operator conditions shown at booking if you are travelling with large or heavy bags.
What to see and do
Beyond the beaches, the cable car and sky bridge give wide views over the archipelago and the surrounding sea. The mangrove tours are a highlight for wildlife, and the diving and snorkelling sites draw visitors throughout the dry season.
The duty-free status is a genuine draw too: alcohol, chocolate and general shopping are noticeably cheaper here than on the Malaysian mainland, which makes Langkawi a popular stop before or after an island-hopping trip.

Langkawi Highlights
Langkawi Cable Car
Langkawi Sky Bridge
Langkawi Sky Bridge is a curved pedestrian bridge which is 125 meter-long and 1.8 meter-wide. The 660 meters-high above sea level bridge was completed in 2005 and was designed as a curved walkway to maximize the viewing experience. The bridge can be reached by taking a cable car first to the top where a lift called Skyglide will take you from the top station to the Sky Bridge.
Eagle Square (Dataran Lang)
Eagle Square is one of the best manmade attractions in Langkawi. It is a large sculpture of an eagle posed as if it’s about to fly. Some people say that the island’s name (Langkawi) means the island of the reddish-brown eagle, the Malay word (Helang) means eagle, and (Kawi) is a red stone used as a chalk. This statue is 12 meter-tall located at the southeast corner of Pulau.

Frequently asked questions
What are the tourist seasons ?
Phuket
Phuket really just has two seasons, which are known as "high season" and "low season" (or "green season"). During the low season months (May–September), boat numbers are reduced. During the high season (October–April), boats to the surrounding islands are increased so you will have some more options.
Koh Samui
There are three distinct weather seasons on the tropical island of Koh Samui: the dry season (December until February), the hot season (March until August) and the rainy season (September until November).
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How long am I locked out for?
The first lock is one minute. If sign-in keeps failing after that, each further lock lasts longer:
- 1st lock — 1 minute
- 2nd lock — 5 minutes
- 3rd lock — 15 minutes
- 4th lock and after — 1 hour
An hour is the longest you will ever be locked out. You get five attempts before the first lock, and as soon as you sign in successfully everything resets — the next time you mistype, you start again at one minute.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
