Wow! You can now go to Tarutao National Park in Thailand directly from Langkawi. Not by swimming of course, but by a new ferry service available in Langkawi.
Previously, you can only go to Tarutao by small boats from Satun island which is available for six months each year,
(November to May only) due to heavy seas during other months from the Thai port of Satun.
