Can a South African do a border run from Langkawi and get a stamp on arrival in Koh Lipe?

Yes, South Africans can do a border run from Langkawi to Koh Lipe and receive a 30-day Visa Exempt Entry stamp upon arrival. However, it's important to note that they can only use this entry method by land borders twice in a calendar year, so the number of previous border runs during the year may affect eligibility. Comments suggest taking the last ferry from Satun for a smoother return.
