Bangkok to Langkawi by Train
If you are using this train to travel from Bangkok to Langkawi island, there are two stations you can use to get to the Langkawi ferry ports.
Arau Train Station is the first one you arrive at and ferries leave from the nearby Kuala Perlis. This is the shortest and cheapest ferry, but you will have to get a taxi from the station to the port.
Alor Setar Train Station is a little further south, but you can get a cheap bus to the port of Kuala Kedah from the city centre (about a 10 minute walk away from the station).
