How much does it cost and how long does the ferry from Langkawi to Koh Lipe take?

The ferry from the Malaysian island of Langkawi to the Thai island of Koh Lipe takes 1.5 - 2 hours. The one-way ticket price is about 160 Malaysian ringgit (approximately 35-38 US dollars).

This is an international route, so it's important to consider visa formalities. When arriving from Malaysia, you undergo full passport and customs control right at the Koh Lipe pier. Be sure to fill out the electronic Thailand Digital Arrival Card in advance on the website tdac.immigration.go.th, as there will be no internet for this on site.

Ferries depart from two piers on Langkawi: Kuah Jetty and Telaga Harbour. They arrive at Pattaya Beach on Koh Lipe. It's more cost-effective to buy tickets online in advance on sites like Trip.com or 12go.asia – this is cheaper than at on-site ticket counters and guarantees a seat.
