Worth knowing about Langkawi
- Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands rather than a city, and the only ways in are by air or by ferry from the mainland.
- Langkawi is a duty-free island, so retail prices there differ from the Malaysian mainland.
- A seasonal ferry runs from Langkawi to Ko Lipe in Thailand from October to June, taking about 90 minutes, which means crossing into a different country's networks.
