Satun to Langkawi Ferry

The ferry crossing between Satun and Langkawi links mainland southern Thailand with Malaysia's duty-free island of Langkawi. This route operates seasonally, running only during selected months of the year. Outside these months the crossing is suspended and the booking engine will not return sailings — if you are travelling off-season, plan an alternative connection, such as a ferry from Pak Bara or Koh Lipe, or shift your dates to fall within the published operating period.

Journey Overview

The crossing takes about 1 minutes, with 2 scheduled during the active season. Fares start from ฿1,900 per adult, though prices can vary by operator, class, and how far in advance you book. Exact departure times are shown on the live schedule above, so check this before finalising your travel plans, especially around public holidays when sailings can fill quickly.

Departure and Arrival Points

Ferries from Satun depart from Tammalang Pier, the province's main international ferry terminal, and arrive at Kuah Jetty on Langkawi, close to the island's town centre and duty-free shopping area. Travellers connecting from Hat Yai or other parts of southern Thailand typically arrange transport to Tammalang Pier before boarding; those departing from Langkawi should allow time to clear immigration at Kuah before their onward journey.

Operators and Onboard Comfort

Bundhaya Speed Boat is the main operator running this crossing, using a ferry and speed boat with onboard facilities on board. Availability and the number of operators running the route can change with demand and season, so always confirm the operator and boarding point shown at checkout before you travel. If your preferred sailing time is sold out, checking nearby departure slots on the same day is often the quickest way to secure a seat.

Booking Your Crossing

Because sailings on this route are limited to selected months of the year and demand rises quickly during peak travel periods, it's worth booking your Satun to Langkawi ferry ticket as early as possible once your dates are confirmed. If you're planning the return leg, you can also book the Langkawi to Satun ferry crossing directly, and travellers connecting onward from Satun may want to look at ferries from Pak Bara to Langkawi as an alternative departure point, or the Satun to Koh Lipe ferry route for island-hopping before continuing to Langkawi.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?

You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.

If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.

What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?

We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.

If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.

If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.

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?

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 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.

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.
