Swinging In Paradise....
... is a famous Cable Car here on the other side of the island which takes you to the top to get an amazing view of all of Langkawi and some of its 99 islands, in which only 3 are inhabited. The Cable Car is like a gondola that Maureen and I got to ourselves ...
Even Small Jellyfish Pack a Pretty Big Sting....
... went out to our beachside terrace to have our breakfast. I have heard about these "small" jellyfish that occupy the waters of Langkawi, they are more bothersome then anything, feeling like little pricks if they pass by you while you are in the water. ...
Chilling in Langkawi
... on a budget. So overall we had a fantastic time there and who knows, when we finally leave NZ and Oz to travel home, we may well end up going back via Malasysia and visiting Langkawi again. It was certainly a cracking start to our big ...
On to Langkawi, but I don't want to leave
... that much. We ventured back to resort, via some impressive snorkeling, to search for Jorge before hopping on the boat to Langkawi in Malaysia. Once in Langkawi, we find a beautiful resort just in time to change and head out to dinner and ...
First Stop In Malaysia!
... drive for 3 hours. After that we changed to a private taxi ride for 2 hours to the pier for then a 2 hour ferry ride to Pulau Langkawi. We rented a car (if you can call it that, small!) for the day and went around the island. Our trip took us to the ...
Langkawi
... show then began, this time the dialogue of a film without the courtesy of providing a picture. We were welcomed into Malaysia with the sight of a giant concrete eagle and an intense heat. After the foreign driven tourist land of Thailand, it was ...
It Ain't Half Hot Mum
... at the swanky Lighthouse restaurant along the beach before heading back to Sunset Beach for our soundest sleep yet on Langkawi. 17/3 After a noteworthy complementary breakfast in a natty conservatory overlooking the beach, we grabbed a couple of ...
99 Magical Islands

Arden Tours Welcomes You To Malaysia
... M&M are snorkelling. At 4pm we head to Kuah and book L&M's (cheap) accomodation for Saturday night. After shopping at Langkawi Fair Shopping Centre we eat at a Malaysian food stall. Call at the supermarket where certain people buy more shoes, then ...
Langkawi - is this Malaysia?
Langkawi isn't that great, it served a purpose (our route into Malaysia) but, where we stayed was really just a shoddy, little beach town, to be blunt (it was billed as the top holiday resort on the island). We did however, find it hard to complain with ...
The perfect Island
... this travel blog for fear of disapearing into fain memories. These first anectotes do not apply to the amazing Pulau Langkawi Malaysia, but are points I have been meaning to get acros for some time. The worlds beachgoers know that Thailand ...
If U can't drink the water, Don't Eat The Melon
... for our place in line ( it was open seating...hate that) to find that there was plenty of seats open. The Island of Langkawi is rapidly changing and developing and so far reminds me of a cross between Mui Ne beach in Vietnam, and Koh Chang in Thailand, ...
Wonderland at The Westin
... was simply superb with gorgeous grounds, spa and pool……and the most important thing - food - the restaurants were delicious. Langkawi itself is not the greatest hotspot but this resort was all we needed in order just to chill and relax. Apart ...
Dicky tummies and skype our homeland!
Happy Hari Raya Puasa! We didn't leave the room until 11am this morning. Lorna wasn't feeling too good. She had been sick all night. I tried to blame the alcohol, but to be fair, I wasn't feeling too good either. (We were later to realise it was last ...
Monkey island
... pulled into Kuah's main ferry terminal on the south east side of resort group of islands (about 100 in total) called Langkawi. Bustle and construction was in evidence all around, signs of a growing community coming out of the monsoon season that ...
Langkawai
There were only eight people on the firefly flight from Penang to Langkawai - that's including the air hostesses - one looked like she was going to vomit taking off and landing. Grechy booked a Hotel 'close' to the airport. When he asked on ...
Langkawi - Eagle Island

The Red Eagle
... maiden. Childless women are said to conceive after swimming in the lake.... We also saw lots of eagles, which is how Langkawi got it's name. It translates as Red Eagle. After feeding the eagles we went to another beautiful beach. The following day I ...
Malaysian Adventures
Despite a relatively tame night on the town, we wake up late and miss breakfast, sort of. The weather seems to be in a spot of bother so we head to Underwater World, which turns out to be way cooler than I had imagined it to be. I learn ...
Holidays are coming....Holidays are coming
We got up about 11am this morning and took a stroll along Cenang Beach. The weather was a bit unpredictable again, but it was still warm. I think that this is the first time since China that we have had consecutive days of cloudy weather. It's amazing ...
Langkawi... unbelievable!
... relative proximity. This morning, I caught a 2.5 hour ferry from Georgetown to Kuah... the ferry terminal here in Langkawi. A pleasant journey, it was nice to see Chinese boats out the window doing their fishing. I'm currently deliberating as ...
Jellyfish and Mosquito Island
... was Jan 27th and I wasn't leaving a day before. I found a cheap ticket to the border island of Langkawi in Malaysia. After spending a couple days on the island I figured that Lang must mean Jellyfish and Kawi mosquito. The Malaysian ...
Last Night in Malaysia
... Pha-Ngang can also provide - but with better beaches. Today, I was keen to get on the water and explore Langkawi's other islands. I found a very reasonably priced $8, 4 hour island hopping tour that ventured to 3 islands, all different in ...
Reunions and Sightseeing on Langkawi Island
... jeep whilst here which is just great, we have been spoiled with exploring somewhere in the luxury of an air conditioned vehicle, even though Langkawi is small there is plenty to see, and after a rather shaky start (in the name of a split wheel on the ...
Return to Wonderland
Hello again, So after Koh Lipe we returned to Langkawi for a final few days! The days went so fast but we made the most of the holiday and despite dreading the day everyone had to leave it is possibly the best holiday we have had in a long time. This has ...
Langkawi - Malaysia already!!
... and a Thai comedy being shown on tv so loud that it would anyone of us on that bus go deaf! Then the ferry to Langkawi was smooth and cool, we wandered into the arrivals area at the pier, where you could easily mistake it for an airport terminal at ...
A Looooong journey to Langkawi!
Not much to report today except a damn long journey to Langkawi. First leg was a 5 hour minivan drive to Hat Yai. Sat chatting to a couple (Neil & Louise) from Chester who we had seen in the pub the other day watching the Liverpool match. Good ...
Tommy has a great idea!
We'd promised Tommy that today would be solely spent lounging on the beach, and we were true to our word. We all hit the sun loungers after breakfast and stayed there until they wanted to pack them away at 7pm. Tommy ventured out at one point to buy some ...
Five Star Friends
... some blurring of the edges. This puzzling blend of cultures which mix together whilst keeping their own ethnic identities both makes up Malaysia and also makes it difficult to get a handle on what or who Malaysia really is. After a couple of days we ...
Battling Across the Border
... detour to the mainland. This would add a day to our travels and also mean a 50mile cycle before buying another ferry ticket to Langkawi from Satun. Nightmare. The guy said our only way of getting to Langkawi today was to take a bus. He would provide this ...
