Situated around 30 km from the mainland of Malaysia, Langkawi is an archipelago consisting of 99 islands laying on the Andaman Sea. The only ferry route from the port is to Penang, one of the larger Malaysian cities which is found on the northwest coast. Langkawi is a holiday destination for tourists that are intent on enjoying an active few days in the warm weather among stunning views. Langkawi Beach is particularly popular with tourists, especially during the summer months; jet skiing is available to the more adventurous traveller, whereas sailing cruises may provide a better option for those just looking to relax. Away from the beach, there are art and craft shops offering local, traditional pieces or for a cheap, productive day out there is Kilim Nature Park relatively close by. A tour group offer the chance to experience the beauty of the park at a leisurely pace with a knowledgeable tour guide. There is very little of any interest close to the port itself, so it is best advised to get a taxi to any desired destination. There is a taxi rank waiting directly outside the port to pick up passengers – it is possible to negotiate a price for a whole day with a taxi driver for convenient and easy transportation.
Koh Lanta Port is situated on the tip of the most southern island of Koh Lanta, laying just off the southwest coast of Thailand. Koh Lanta is comprised of several smaller islands, only connected via the ferry routes operating between them. Ditching its previous tag as a quintessential party destination for backpackers and travellers, Koh Lanta is now regarded as a haven for the European middle class. Offering visitors the chance to dine in fine restaurants and reside in luxurious resorts, the atmosphere is much more serene than many of Thailand’s neighbouring islands and is generally a significantly older crowd than other tourist areas. The island is one of the largest in the group, stretching for 30 km in length and 6 km in width. It is covered by lush greenery, extravagant restaurants and nine stunning beaches, making it easy to see why it’s considered such an idyllic holiday location. The port is fairly easy to access, though it is sitting 6.5 km away from the nearest major town, meaning the best way to get there is by taxi. There are public minivans operating; they don’t stop at the port itself but can provide a cheap option to get in close proximity. For transport to and from the island, the ferry routes are the only option available. The crossing to Phuket is the most common, lasting for around two hours and typically running a couple of times a day. It is advised to check for live updates due to the erratic weather conditions; sometimes the crossing times can run less frequently in the rainy seasons.
