Day 50 - Lounging in Langkawi
... as they are respectful of the local culture.
I took that to mean, don't play up here or bad things will follow, like getting a first class trip in a police car to the airport. Fair enough too, it would be a travesty to see the like of Patong on Langkawi, and these guys are definitely trying to walk the middle ground, which is great.
