TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, if you obtain a tourist visa in Penang, you can enter Southern Thailand by ferry as it is recognized as a proper visa and not considered a land entry.

I might be interested in doing that. Something different.
I took a plane ride from Penang to Langkawi. The flight was almost as much as the ferry to Langkawi and is over 3 hours. I heard mixed reviews about that long ferry ride. I stayed 10 days in Langkawi in cenang beach, because it is SO beautiful. But I would recommend staying in Cenang Beach on Lankawai and then book the Langkawi ferry back to Thailand. The ferry back to Thailand is very cheap.

If been to Penang a couple of times. Always flown though, so the ferry sounds a bit more interesting. Maybe a night or two in Langkawi. Can you update this post if you do that, please?

Since this year, there are no more 15 day stamp entering by land/sea.
You can enter by land AND GET 30 DAY STANP with a limit of 2 times per calendar year.
By the way, malaysian borders (nobody knows why) usually don't give 30 day stamp free of charge to back-to-back travellers. They usually charge 1,000 baht and give this stamp only to certain travellers (it depends on your passport - nationality and how many times you visited Thailand becire -)

Visa-exempt land or sea entries are 30 days (except a few countries who get 90). It changed from 15 to 30 at start of this year. There is a limit of two such entries per calendar year (limit doesn't apply to air entry).
