    Hey Eddie
    Yes the 1 hour speedboat ride from Telaga Harbour close to the cable car was the one I did as a day trip to Koh Lipe. I think you went from the other side at Kuah Jetty I guess which will take longer. I have been to Malaysia 5 times and Thailand 4 times - both amazing counties for different reasons. I would say that Thailand is cheaper overall than Malaysia. I'm teetotal and not into pubs and clubs but Thailand has so much to offer with culture, landscapes, food and beaches. However, I absolutely love Malaysia. Maybe you need to visit Indonesia as well because there are some great things to see and do there

    Good morning from the northern suburbs of Tokyo Ed! Spent two fun nights in Bangkok on the way here. Fantastic meal in an Izakaya (Japanese pub/restaurant) last night including sashimi and deep fried fugu (blowfish!), plus ice cold Asahi beer with yakitori followed by warm sake etc! Truly one of lifes pleasures eating in east and south east Asia! After a few more days in Japan I'll stop in Pattaya 2nights and another night in Bangkok. Wish I had at least a month each in these two great countries!

Nature reserves, orangutans, ipoh, Kuching, Kinabalu, bat caves, train travel, jungle route, the Highlands, popping into Singapore, seeing the East coast etc etc. Seriously, KL, Penang and Langkawi for a week each isn't seeing Malaysia!

    Totally agree with your impressions re Malaysia Ed. The most enjoyable time I spend there was at Juara beach Tioman Island. Much better than Langkawi IMO. I'd be super stressed with that crossing to Ko Lipe. Don't like the idea of handing over my passport for so long. The whole process looked really half arsed. No one in Malaysia knew you could get a 45 day visa into Thailand. Really! Imagine what it would be like arriving at Ko Lipe beach during a rain storm. You handled it really well. I'm sure those beers went down extremely well.
