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.
Like many other coastal destinations in Southern Thailand, Koh Ngai is renowned for its diving and long white beaches. The port is found on the southwest coast and is part of the Krabi Province, though it can be difficult to reach from Krabi and is much more accessible from Trang on the South Andaman Coast. Despite its incredible beaches and crystal clear waters, Koh Ngai isn’t a mass hotbed of tourism, primarily because of its small land area. It measures to 4 km in length only 2 km wide, and much of the island is covered by mountains and a tropical forest; as a result there is no indigenous population meaning visitors often feel like they have the whole island to themselves. Due to the 100% foreign clientele, the Thai flags and the warm climate are the only hint that the island belongs to Thailand. Unsurprisingly, due to the mountainous landscapes, there are no roads on the island, therefore the only way to get around is by foot. The island’s small size and the close proximity of the resorts allow tourists to get around easily, as well as getting a chance to admire the beautiful surroundings. The island itself lacks many major attractions, so visitors could be excused for longing to hop on the ferry and make the crossing to some of Thailand’s neighbouring islands. Ferry routes run frequently throughout the day to nearby islands, though crossing frequencies can vary depending on weather conditions. Fortunately most resorts accept credit cards, but it is worth noting that there are no ATM’s on the island so bringing some extra cash may be worthwhile. Most resorts provide WiFi, and local sim cards can obtain a fairly good 3G internet connection whilst at the beach.
