Lovely Langkawi 4 stars
Travel Tip: Kuah

Malaysias version of Phuket has not attracted the same numbers as its counterpart in the Andaman, which is a bit odd. It has a good airport, the Andaman Sea is the same water as around Phuket, and there are some top quality hotels. These are all the usual pointers to an islands success. The... [more]

Kuah Chapter of Travel Blog: Learn from my mistakes
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
There was no way I was going to ride my bike back to the hotel, so I decided to take a taxi. The driver requested what he thought was an extortionate price (he kept on going on how the price was so high because of the bike). Little did he know that I would have paid triple that! I didn’t even... [more]

Shopping in Kuah 3 stars
Kuah Chapter of Travel Blog: Learn from my mistakes
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
I am not sure why, but I expected similar shopping experience to Kuala Lumpur. It was nothing like it and it would make sense – Kuah is a much smaller place. The shopping malls were small, the choice of products was limited and the prices were much higher than what I expected. The malls did... [more]

Adjacent to Eagle Square was the Park of Legends, the place to learn about local myths and legends. The park was delightful, artfully merging natural features (lakes, trees, lawns) with statues... [more]

Over the hills and far away 3 stars
Kuah Chapter of Travel Blog: Learn from my mistakes
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Then the challenging part of my trip began. I entered the mountains and the hills got steep. The villages that I saw on the map turned out to be a few houses each with no people in sight. Then I came across a small market and had a hard time explaining that I wanted to buy water, no one could... [more]

I rented the bike for three days and I spent the first day exploring the surroundings. The road was flat, there wasn’t much traffic and bike riding seemed easy. I soon got confident and decided to ride to Kuah on the next day (40 km away). There were two routes I could take and I chose the less... [more]

ATM hunt in Langkawi 3 stars
Travel Tip: Kuah
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
When I travel, I don’t like to carry lots of cash with me, so I prefer to use an ATM to take it out as I go. If you are like me and if you are not staying downtown Kuah, keep in mind that ATMs are not widely available in Langkawi and get your cash at the airport as you arrive. When I got to my... [more]

I'd love to be back in Langkawi 5 stars
Travel Tip: Kuah

Langkawi is one of the very few places I visited that I would like to go back to. I went there shortly after the tsunami and it was very quiet. Locals told me that the tourism suffered, even though the tsunami caused little damage. Langkawi had a relaxed island feel, but it also offered plenty of... [more]

Tours on Langkawi 5 stars
Travel Tip: Kuah

We decided to go out on a sailing boat which was beautiful, they had this net that they folded out from the side of the boat so you can lay in it as the boat is sailing (it has a jacuzzi type effect!)  I got in (the first one as everyone else was scared) and nearly lost my bikini pants and was...

Snorkling on Pulau Payar 5 stars
Travel Tip: Kuah

We took a day trip from Langkawi mainland to go snorling on Palau Payar Marine Park island.  If you are in Langkawi this snorkeling trip is not to be missed!  We were picked up by a coach and taken to the port to get a boat, whilst on the boat I saw a huge Sword fish jumping in and out of the...

Visiting Pantai Cenang 4 stars
Travel Tip: Kuah

Langkawi is a very large island and the people are so nice and friendly - like most places in Malaysia they are always up for a chat and very polite.  Langkawi is quite a quiet island and its probably best if you hire a motorbike or car so you can see more of it, I personally don't drive so...
