Rent a car supposed to calculated based on 2 nights. That means if they said 50/day, your total should be Rm100.

thx thx ...
how about dinner ?
breakfast , lunch and dinner all can get from pantai cenang there ?
i remember the nasi lemak that only cost RM1 with meat veli nice .only for breakgfast ...
how about lunch and dinner ? a simple 1 will do ...

Go there & get the car direct-lah...There are lotsa car rental companies in Langkawi. Those internet booking & by phone is charging premium rate.

Added on December 17, 2009, 3:33 pmI dun think u still can get RM1 nasi lemak there. The food pricing almost simialr to KL except the beers.

Lunch & Dinner, at Pantai Cenang, u can try Cactus restaurant opposite Holiday Villa at Pantai Tengah. Lotsa review by foreigners.

But so far, most of the food at Langkawi is overated & worst than KL. Just eat to fill your stomach there lah..

where can i find a decent guinness pork rib in langkawi?

Night time Orchid Restaurant in Kuah town. It is in the Kelana mas area beside Toto.(there's only one toto shop in Langkawi).Daytime it is a coffee shop but night time it becomes a 'tai chow'. Try his fish and prawn dishes also. Velly velly nice!

It's a tourist attraction, of course it will be open. It's close only on VERY windy days.

guys,one question
i've booked a room in langkasuka resort through airasia website.
The problem here is,i only put one guest in my hotel booking.
Can i bring another one friend to stayed with me?
No extra charges right?
n im scared if they give me single bed too...
sempitttt whooooo...
thanxx!!

What room you have booked?Normally, hotel in M'sia comes either with 2 single bed or twin bed. The best solution for you is try to find what room you are booking and call Langkasuka and ask them, your room type are comes with what configuration. Usually no extra charges or small fee are applicable like what I encounter in Mutiara Langkawi. They ask me to top up Rm20/night because breakfast.

I never seen single bedded rooms before, most are twins or double. No worries larr! If it is really single (chances is they are not) , separate the mattress from the divan lorr. Get extra pillows and most of the hotels have spare pillows in the wardrobe. Langkasuka reception area also not visible from the room entrance.

any quick recommendation of super budget hotel in Langkawi city area?
Actually which town is the most crowded? I mean the most hapenning?

i'm going of this tuesday...but going to have one day at perlis first visit aunty...
then go to langkawi...
im going with family...
so far from the net MPV range around 200-300 during this peak time..
how much can get if at port there?

Port & airport no diff. The important part is how good are you in bargaining. Sometime even during holiday season, you still can bargain 50% off by just walk away from those guys & they willingly accept your offer...competition over there really stiff wan

In Jalan Ulu Melaka, in front of Taman Seri Aman, besides a plant nursery there's a motel. (Beside the Customs & Excise quarters) No signboards but a yellow/beige building. Nice and clean rooms, only RM50 per night with air-cond and hot shower. If you cannot locate the motel, go to Grand Continental Hotel in Kuah. Opposite Grand Con. there is one electrical supply shop (not Pin Radio), the one selling wires, plug etc. Beside there's one shop selling lubricants and they are the owner of the motel.

People go there because of no happenings there! ha, ha
