Third Time's The Charm - Langkawi


Don't laugh, but I visited Langkawi three times already this year, and it isn't mid year yet.

The first time's for CNY with my family, the second's for my birthday and the third's with my girls.

I don't know why I always ended up in Langkawi, maybe because of the cheap alcohol, or maybe it's the closest island where I can do hours of jet-skiing out at sea; but I've always be able to find things to do in Langkawi. Most of them water-sport related.

However, I do think I had enough doses of Langkawi for now, at least for the rest of the year.

She's been here 3 times already within a year :).. Cool

Herbal Tree - Langkawi Trip

I woke up rather early on the next day, while most of them were still sleeping, i made myself a cup of coffee and sat outside the balcony. It felt like paradise, quiet with the sounds of the insects and birds.

we skipped breakfast because everyone slept passed 10pm. Headed to Kuah town for lunch and cruised around the town. We went to Seven Wells waterfall because the skybridge and skycab were close for maintenance. What a waste.


Interesting blog to see.. A trip to Langkawi

Langkawi Penang Family Trip 2011 by Michelle

But if you are looking for a place to buy souvenirs like batik cloths, keychains, snacks and so on this would be the place to be! There is a long stretch of stalls leading to the entrance of Beras Terbakar! The things there are cheaper than elsewhere.

Batik cloths are sold from RM10 per piece! You can find keychains that are sold in bundle of 10 for the price of RM10! Lots of t-shirts too price starting from RM10. Med Ass bought a cute baby tee for her boyfriend's cousin for RM10 too!!

Next place was Makam Mahsuri. Entrance fee for Malaysian adults and children are RM5 and RM2.50 respectively. I think the entrance fee for foreigner wouldn't differ much.


AL :-
Interesting review by Michelle. Honest review & fun to read..

Flat out in Langkawi


Liz Porter chooses the Malaysian island for a swim-spa-slumber holiday.
My teenage daughter and I were desperate for an exotic break. We weren't looking for an "eat, pray, love" quest to Bali. Or a place with bars so hip you might be in some barely-on-the-map Melbourne laneway. Part of the charm of being somewhere foreign is that they do things differently. We just wanted somewhere reliably hot and sunny for a spa, swim, room service, book-reading kind of holiday.
I remembered Langkawi from a visit to its main island of Pulau Langkawi in 1976, when there was no tourist development on this archipelago of 99 islands off the west coast of Malaysia and the only access was a 30-kilometre ferry trip from the little port town of Kuala Perlis.
I could recall only the stock tropical-paradise images: palm trees lining long, sandy beaches; jungle; a scenic hilly interior. I remember wading in clear warm water - and someone suggesting that at certain low tides, one could walk to the next island.
Thirty-five years later, I had difficulty finding new and reliable information. The Lonely Planet guide to Malaysia devotes only three pages to Langkawi. But some recent visitors there had described it as "like Bali 30 years ago". As someone lucky enough to first visit Bali when Sanur's Bali Hyatt was the only major resort and Legian had no electricity, I liked that idea.

Langkawi Charm by Shimworld


 I had the privilege of visiting Pulau Langkawi with Tourism Malaysia during the July 2010 Mega Fam trip and I’m delighted to share my island-hopping, cable car ride and hotel inspection photo journey. We lived 3 wholesome days at the multi award-winning Frangipani Langkawi Beach Resort & Spa and inspected The Andaman Langkawi and The Danna Langkawi all 3 of which are awesome luxury accommodation. As much as the islands are shrouded with a heritage of myths and legends, it is no myth that Langkawi is an extremely popular holiday and wedding destination. It’s evidently hugely popular with the Middle Eastern tourists and an opportune run-in with Christiana from Cyprus whom we met on Beras Basah Island.

Interesting picture captured of the villa. These privately own villa's are managed by two group. One operates under sarivillage & one under villa del porto (villadelporto.com). The villa's location up high on the hills which gives a great view of the surrounding port & island. Good to hear that all the villa's already open to public..

Langkawi Island, Malaysia - Chasing Mirages

Because I have such a huge backlog of pictures and experiences to share, and I don’t have time to make such involved galleries as I did for Inle Lake and Bagan, I’m going to try something new – a lightning round of posts.
For each location that I visited, I’ll create a post including 5 pictures or less, choosing the sights and experiences that most deeply impressed me.  The only exceptions I’ll make are for stories with an environmental theme.  In those cases I may include more than 5 pictures.
Here’s the first one – Langkawi Island, Malaysia.  Langkawi is located on the northwest coast of peninsular Malaysia.  It’s a well an over-developed island paradise, with extensive white-sand beaches, waterfalls, mountains, and plenty of clear blue seas for watersports.  As soon as you get off the ferry, rent a Kia hatchback or a scooter and the island is yours!

The other great thing about Langkawi is that it’s the only place in Malaysia where alcohol is duty free.
The first picture, above, shows  a viewing bridge at the top of the Langkawi cable car.  From the bridge I could see much of the island as well as the limitless blue sea.  But the best part of standing on the bridge wasn’t the view.  It was closing my eyes and letting the sound and touch of the sea breeze overwhelm my senses, feeling as though I was hovering in between that opening in the mountains, high above the canyon below.

Interesting blog from Chasing Mirages.. Please refer here for details..

AL :-
The one interest me is not the blog itself but the comments. Most of the viewers is environmentalist. Most of them have an opinion about Langkawi. Some of the words is quite outrages & make me wonder is the environmental issue it that bad in Langkawi compared to Bali or Phuket? Anyway.. Interesting blog & comments..

Out to Sea @ Berjaya Langkawi Resort Malaysia!

Staying at the Berjaya Langkawi Resort in Malaysia is a great way to spend a relaxing beach holiday with your loved ones and friends!

In August 2011, my wife and I spent three fun-filled days and luxurious nights at the popular Berjaya Langkawi Resort in Malaysia.

But we didn’t restrict ourselves to just the resort’s private beach and its facilities.

AL : 
Nice captured picture.

a Weekend at the Westin - Langkawi

Last weekend was for total R + R time for us both ... and that's how it was.  We flew from Singapore to Langkawi early Friday morning and we were unpacked and ready for 'anything' by mid afternoon.

From the moment we arrived till we left just after noon on Sunday, we seriously had a lovely time and Saturday was even spent with friends we had not seen for sometime. 

The resort was especially nice, much larger than I expected and a lot more children than I expected as well .... though they did not disturb us at all. Our room was very comfortable and equally as quiet.

Langkawi Buffalo Park by Keats the Sunshine Girl

I have to admit I'm not one to sit around on a holiday. Even on a wedding destination which was already packed  with ceremonies. Now you know I'm a kind of pain in the ... with my folks who say that I can't stay still !!! So while  many chilled out and pampered themselves at the hotel, I made contact with my blogging friend, wChinner. She made the arrangements for my husband and I to do an short escapade on the river to  the mangrove swamp. And when I heard about the existence of a Buffalo Park, my mind was made up right away!

No mooing greeted us at the Langkawi Buffalo Park. It was all too quiet when we visited. In the building where the mozarella cheese is made, there was no activity. A pity 'coz we wanted to watch the manufacturing  process.

We headed to the big shed following a signpost. There the buffaloes stood, busy munching  away their green meal. After a while we caught sight of a farm hand who introduced himself as Din. He was busy with the day's routine but stopped to answer some questions.

A Langkawi Experience For Hafiz FlyFM

To some, Langkawi could just be another gorgeous escape to the blue ocean and flawless beaches. A member of the Global Geoparks Network which fosters the conservation of the location's geographical heritage, Langkawi is a beautiful getaway filled with mystical elements. From its history of legends and myths, Langkawi is a place where monumental acts of love happened.

What really impressed Hafiz Hatim (who currently hosts Fly 30 on Fly FM with JayDee) about Langkawi was when he witnessed an eagle feeding. This majestic occurence takes place Kilim Nature Park. Famous for its mangrove forest, this is the habitat for hundreds of birds of prey. According to him, from a boat, the boatmen will throw bait into the water, and then just get the cameras ready. The sky will be covered with these beautiful predators circling the waters and then swooping in at breakneck speed for the food offered.
Plus the name Langkawi is derived from Helang which means Eagle. As a Geopark, Langkawi is a great place for nature lovers to discover its ecosystem.

The Tays @ Underwater World, Langkawi Geopark

We loved it! It’s so much better than the one in KLCC! Well, they do have more space and perhaps that helps a little. Nathan’s favorite and mine as well was the Penguins! He laughed and laughed when he saw them swim around. He banged on the glass wanting to touch them! Bliss!

Menaiki ferry pertama jam 7.30 pagi dari Kuala Kedah. Kami menginap di CD hotel  di Pantai Chenang selama 2 malam. 
Cerita perjalanan Blogger Bintang Zohra ke Utara Malaysia. Langkawi termasuk dalam lawatan rakan kita. Tapi yg menariknya adalah melihat rakan kita merancang lawatan sehingga setiap pelusuk tempat boleh singgah. Ada tempat yg saya sendiri tak pernah sampai. Hm.. Menarik..

Langkawi Shop (Ikan Bilis) & Eat by Azy

Langkawi is known as a duty-free shopping zone, which suggests a really good time, but I can sum up its offer very briefly as: ikan bilis, chocolates, gamat and dish wares. This means that the men sit outside the shops and watch in disbelief as the women scour each aisle with hawk-like precision. The best place to go is Pekan Kuah, specifically at Jalan Pandak Mayah off Persiaran Putera, where there are endless rows of similar shops selling a dizzying display of dish wares and chocolates.

More here..

A/L :- Ikan bilis (dried anchovies) in Langkawi are among the best in Malaysia. Not to be buyers but its the fact. The best gred especially the blue eye one. Not chewy & great to eat with nasi lemak. WOW.. So dont get back without one.. :)

Pancing di Langkawi by KOS-YAN

Terima kasih pertama tama sekali diucapkan kepada Gorila Gang member Roy Azral (@ Azrai kat Langkawi je) and his family kerana tolong setup janjitemu dengan Ikan Kerapu Langkawi ini.

Guide saya pada hari tu merupakan otai (old-timer) di Kg Bohor Tempoyak, betul2 sebelah dengan Pantai Cenang dan Tengah. Abang Rahim namanye, anak jati Langkawi yg turun menyumbang bakti..kepada rakyat setempat dan juga geng Gorilaz Pelancong hehehe.

Utk baca lebih lanjut sila lihat blog Gorila Gang.. 

A/L :-
Sememangnya memancing di Langkawi ada baiknya dijadikan salah satu produk pelancongan Langkawi. Langkawi penuh & kaya dgn spesies ikan baik. Nelayan pun boleh tambah rezeki dgn membawa kaki pancing ke lubuk2 tertentu.. (teringat pancing ataih batu)
