Sometimes taking ground package is a good option for independent travellers as it is flexible on the travel date, guaranteed departure, and you get to explore the culture with professional English speaking tour guide. We get in-depth explanations on every place we visit, and more importantly we don't have carry heavy luggages and rush around looking for direction and transportation as the coach and guide is always ready at our hotel entrance when time is up for transfer. The local travel agency also provides other Europe tour packages covering almost entire Europe with affordable prices.  

I didn't have a chance to compile a video until the Covid-19 lock down now. All the pictures and clips definitely bring back all great memories we had in Spain, and we look forward to be able to travel again!

Many travellers ask about possibility to buy ticket on the spot or maybe cheaper ticket price, the answer is yes and no. This is all depends on ferry seat availability, the ferry has only have about 100+ persons capacity and easily sold out especially during school holidays and public holidays in both countries (Malaysia/Thailand). You might be end up need to spend 1 more night in Langkawi / Koh Lipe if you cannot get the ticket on the spot. About the ticket price, well, you might get more expensive or cheaper depends on tour operator and seat availability. Even if you can get cheaper, it's about RM5-10 per way different. But you may risk having much headache and complication in case tickets are not available, so the advise is just book the ticket online to reserve your seat to this beautiful island.
