Visa run to Langkawi

[thaibeachlovers]

Disregarding prices, would September or December be better to visit Langkawi?

 

Thanks.

Big difference regarding rain:

I think December would be fantastic.

Langkawi on the west coast ( Andaman ) so December seems a better option

Be careful for December as you could face the haze. It can be very bad, grounding aircraft and cause breathing problems.

The smoke haze should be well gone by then ! last year was the worst, and air there  was fine by early november

Has anyone done a visa run from Phuket - we have heard you can drive down and take the ferry? End of January is the Plan!

 

Any good places to stay for a day or two? Any advice on accommodation/things to do etc. etc. would be much appreciated.

Thanks to all that answered. Seems like December is the time to go.

 

To Altalake. I've been researching it on google. More than enough there. You can take the ferry from Satun to Langkawi.

Sorry but the fires occur in the dry season and that only starts in December. Thus the haze could not be gone in November as it havent started yet.

The Indo haze that is affecting Singapore now is the same haze that if you are unlucky can get as far as the top end of Malaysia and Langkawi, even the very south of Thailand. It doesn't always get to Langkawi though. Late August, September and October are usually the bad months. 

       The smoke is coming from Indonesia and Borneo so the Thai dry/cool season has nothing to do with it.
