Langkawi Trip

Finally, I arrived at my home sweet home in Johor, after a tiring but exciting holiday trip from Penang to Alor Star, Kuala Perlis, Langkawi, Kuala Perlis, Alor Star and than Johor (in that order). Needless to say, I am pretty exhausted. My trip to Langkawi Island was nice marvelous. We stayed at Langkasuka Beach Resort for 3 days and 2 nights. For a 4 stars hotel, the price for deluxe room is reasonable (rm130 per night ~USD 39.06). Cheap isn't it?

• The most enjoyable trip is to the Langkawi Cable Car
  
• The most tiring place to go is the Telaga Tujuh Waterfall
• The most valuable for money is Langkawi Underwater World
• The most disappointing place to go is Black Sand Beach Langkawi
  
• The most enjoyable historic place to go is Galeri Perdana
• Place for taking picture is The Eagle Square
• Place I want to go but don't have time (and money) is Langkawi Geopark espically Dayang Bunting Marble
  

A cliche place to take a picture?
I don't really care

The view at the top of Langkawi is breath taking

Tips for Langkawi's holiday:

• Do not go there at the peak season. For example: school holiday, festive season, LIMA, Le Tour de Langkawi, etc)
• Travel agents are plenty at the jetty. You do not have to book early your reservations for renting car or hotel if you know where to ask. Just make sure you are not at the peak season
• Rental car are quite cheap. It is advisable to rent a car as the interesting places are scattered all over the island. Please note that we are using right hand drive. If you do not use to drive a car, there are plenty motorbikes for rent
• Langkawi is a place where you must wear seatbelt while driving. There always several roadblock on the same road made by police just to ensure you are wearing one
  
• The foods there are quite expensive. I always go to fast food restaurants when I am in holiday
• However, if you want to eat local food, go to the restaurants where you can see many locals eat there. And try to act "locally". Heh
  
• Always bring along a spare cloth and a sandal as you do not know when you actually need it. You will stumble to many interesting places to take a bath, whether at the waterfall or river. The cold water after a long journey always refreshing
• The water at private beaches are clean, however, please beware of jellyfish
• Bring along sunglasses, sunblock and light clothes because the weather there quite hot
