Answer 2
I've looked into this on several occasions.
Based on my research there was no simple way to travel between the two islands.
The ferry takes too long and is not a direct service. (I also read on other forums that the journey can get quite unpleasant)
Road takes way too long.
Air was the best option but meant laying over for a couple of hours, and via KL or Bangkok.
I referred to the Langaki Airport wiki page and checked with every airline to coordinate flights, and I was unsuccesful in achieving in an ideal timeframe.
