I found this episode very interesting. I didn't know you could catch a boat from Koh Lipe to Malaysia. The price the price seemed reasonable too. Looking forward to watching your travels around Malaysia too :)
I have been here 5 times, i stayed in Kuah as well my first time but Pantai Chenang has a lot more hotels, places to eat and malls, it also has an ok beach. best beaches are on the top right of the island, Tanjung Rhu beach its called as you drive though some little forest to get there, also the beach before hand is decent, hire a scooter to get there, enjoy the cheap alcohol in the malls as well
Glad to see a new way of entering Malaysia. Really looking forward to know more about Malaysia' and what you think of different destinations you'd be visiting. Have a wonderful time in Malaysia.
Great video sharing the very detailed and easy transfer between countries via boat. Considering the reasonable boat prices and a FREE 90 day visa that makes International travel so affordable. Again great work with the drone guys. Have fun and take care. Stay CHAMP!! 😍😍🤩
Thanks Steven 😃 I never thought this trip was possible and we would just be able to make the crossing by land so this was a nice surprise 🤩 thanks again champ 🏆 have a beautiful rest of the day
Selamat datang ke Malaysia🇲🇾 Helang merah= red eagle Langkawi= red brownish eagle *some free places to visit = telaga tujuh aka seven waterfalls, laman padi langkawi, muzium kraf, enjoy 👌
I actually did a day trip to Koh Lipe from Langkawi and stayed for 6 hours before heading back - I was staying in Langkawi for 1 week in Jan 2017. Then the following year in Feb 2018 I actually stayed 3 nights in Koh Lipe after staying 5 nights in Ao Nang, 3 nights in Koh Phi Phi Don and 1 night in Koh Lanta
Hello Chai and Ilona great video what wonderful idea to travel to Malaysia by boat very handy to know. Have a wonderful journey throughout Malaysia looking forward to watching your travels. Take Care and always Stay Champ lol
Tank you Sue, we never knew this was possible but we loved it and it was so easy. Malaysia and its people have been great to us so for. Also loving the food 🤤 have a beautiful day 🏆☺️
Fun you are now in Malaysia! I lived in KL before BKK. Enjoy the Malaysia food...chicken curry, roti canai, tandoori chicken (or whatever meat /veggies).
@@anjevogt2927 👍 excellent! But you left in the early 90s, and there have been so much more after that, you should revisit 😊 Are you now still residing in bangkok? Or have returned to... um, netherlands? germany?
Awesome , to see you in Malaysia ! the easy way by boat was a stunning fact i didnt know, it seems to be more comfortable then by bus over land....The first impression from Langkaw island was super Wowing with the bald Eagle and the view ! Happy travel Champs Chai & Ilona💞✌
My first month in Asia I was in a rented house in Goa and the only toilet was a squat style. Once got used to it I found it was better, more natural position. Way worse for reading a newspaper but better for the actual thing you are there for!!! Happy Travels
@@loulou8384 yup there are some similarities between bahasa indonesia and bahasa malaysia (bahasa malaysia is actually bahasa melayu or the malay language which is adopted to be the national language upon the independence of our nation). Generally indonesians and malaysians can understand most of what each other says
@@jonmath4182 thank you John, i am a little bit proud of Chai( my son ) that he spoke a little bit Malaysian, I was born in Indonesia,so mabey is it for us a bit easy , well i say a bit, but I presume its totaly different...thanks for your responding..
Hi champs! Wow _tabik_ to you for knowing some malay words very well, I mean with the correct pronunciations too, not only the meanings! So _selamat datang_ again to malaysia, hopefully this time with a nice beautiful company you would enjoy your holiday around the country even more, just like I enjoyed my short stay in beautiful amsterdam with the company of my wife last year 👍😊 Stay safe and have fun!
Great start to your Malaysia trip. There's a Dutch YT'er named Nick in Kuching. His channel is called Global Gibbon. Check him out. Perhaps you can even arrange an interview with him.
Yeah, you two can try see global gibbon, get him to show you around the city of _kuching_ (which means cat) where you can visit orang utans, sorry no chimps, so yeah there you go champs! 😬
Haha I see! They didn’t look very happy :p it didn’t look they liked to be filmed so I thought it was only a respectful thing to blur them ☺️ cheers mate! Have a good one 🏆
@@Chai_Travel reputed as food heaven of Malaysia. Chinese, Indian and Malay. Ps Sunday is CNY most of the Chinese eating outlets will be closed by Saturday afternoon. Only high-end or large restaurant that serve set dinner are open , most likely reservation required. So reserved Malay and Indian food for that Day.
Hi Chai and Ilona! This is Champ Kevin. I am scared to death of squat toilets! I've been to Thailand several times and I have encountered "squat pots" a few times; once at Chatuchak Weekend Market and another time at a gas station rest stop. I refuse to use them because I never used them before and I have bad knees. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure to Malaysia and as always, STAY CHAMP!
Hey champ Kevin! The toilets are definitely not so great for people with bad knees! 😅 hope you’ll just experience the “normal” toilets from now on 😜 thanks for watching again 🏆 cheers!
Great way to get to Malaysia - I would be tense also about handing over passport but of course just procedure - thanks for sharing the experience it seemed to go well 👌🙏👍👋😎
It was a bit scary tbh. They pretty much hold your freedom to travel for a while. Not the best feeling but it’s the only way when traveling this way :) and it’s all legit so no worries 😁 thanks again champ and hope to see you in the next one 😊🏆 cheers!
Looking forward to seeing your Malaysian experience. I’m in Koh Samui and going back to Chiang Mai tomorrow. I’m excited to go to the meetup Chris from Retired Working For You is having in CM on the 21st! Safe travels!
No way Chris😃 I didn’t know he had one! That’s so nice you’re able to go there 😍 also going to CM is just awesome! I’d love to come back soon as well 🏆 thanks again 😃 have a great night
For me Thailand is number one ❤, and Koh Lipe is a small paradise, but too much tourism is destroying it, So the Thais don't seem to do much to take care of it. I made that trip Koh Lipe Landgawi , and from Malaysia I have above all the memory of the kindness of the people , always ready to help me for information or to call Grap Thank for your videos, always full of enthusiasm. Grazie ciao
Thanks for sharing your thoughts mate 😁 I’m happy you’re enjoying the content so far. It’s hard to beat Thailand but I hope you’ll still enjoy some of the Malaysia vlogs 🤗
I was looking at the exact route from Langkawi to Lipe from Australia. Do you know if the boat ride between these two islands are all year round? will you recommend chill box langkawi?
Ey mate, that’s a good question! I can imagine that the boats stop operating in raining season because of the big waves. If you just want something clean and cheap yes. If you’re traveling alone… there is not much to in walkable distance so you do need to rent a motorbike or use “Grab” taxies all the time :) we enjoyed it there though but moved to a busier area near Cenang Beach.
Hi, can you please tell me whether they have any embargo during the immigration for any specific country citizens to cross the borders? Or it is ope for crossing for any citizens of any countries in the world?
For visa requirements for Malaysia I advise you to check out this website: www.imi.gov.my/index.php/en/main-services/visa/elementor-4396/ I hope this helps:)
Of course thais are different. We are multi cultural multi religious. Malaysia is predominantly Muslim, thais as you know are mainly buddhist except south Thailand.
@@Chai_Travel many travelers don't know that. There is one British guy who will travel from langkawi to koh lipe soon. His 1st time. Edward sweeney channel or steady Eddie they called him. 60- year-old retiree.
Welcome 2 M'ysia. Both of u will feel comfortable here cos majority of M'ysians can speak english. Hoorah!

What about the travel bubble restrictions? Thinking of flying from Singapore to langkawi and take the ferry same day to lipe
No worries needed. There are no restrictions coming in and travel to Thai unless you’re vaccinated
Do you need to book in advance that ticket from Koh Lipe to Langkawi ? Please let me know or can you do it the same day ? Please let me know
You beter book it a day ahead. It was also possible to book it the same day.
Oh wow! Your 417 straight days of not wearing a hat has ended! 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha yep! I found it at the bottom of my backpack! 😂
550 baht about 70 to 75 ringgit.
Perfect! Thank you for that 😊
Do you think I can extend mi visa there ? Please respond any information will be welcome
I don’t know I'm sorry.
