After visiting Langkawi from the 19th through the 28th of November, Hilary and Nina took the 2:30 ferry from Kuah to Penang for 50 RM each (about $15). It took 50 minutes to get to Palau Payar and about 3 hours total to get to Penang. We walked to a bus stop and took this bus to Komtar where we booked bus tickets to KL in a few days.
