Hi, I'm planning to go to langkawi this end of the year with friends....i thinking of renting a motorcycle there what are the rates? And a boat to go fishing how much would that be?

i will go end of this month and will stay at berjaya resort too. plz give some comment on the resort when u come back from the trip.

yayaya, sure i will

Island hopping can go direct to the jetty behind the Kuah mosque and also behind the Tourist Information counter. You can also book the tour from a motorcycle shop behind the CIMB bank in Kuah. The jetty in awana Porto Malai is nearer to the islands therefore the boat trip is short and the trip from Kuah jetty is longer hence the boat ride is more fun. Or you can contact Fuji Maru Sea Safari tours where they are the main BBQ food contractors and boating facilities. Maybe you can get a cheaper rate here. The BBQ is served in Pulau Singa Besar and this is the last island after Tasik Dayang Bunting and Pulau Bras Basah.

Enjoy yourself.

Added on November 11, 2009, 12:55 amThere are 2 serviced apartments in Langkawi. One is Istana Condos in Jalan Penarak and the other is Century Apartments in Klebang. Both are in Kuah town. There's another near Traing which is just recently built and I have left Langkawi 2 years ago, I don't know much about it. Langkawi Lagoon Resorts has water chalets which has 2 to 3 rooms but very expensive.

Added on November 11, 2009, 1:02 amMotorcycle rental is about RM30 to RM40 per day and can be found almost all over the island. For fishing trips I suggest one Pak Hassan. He's the best and can guarantee fish as he goes to a private tuas that is owned by the Triang fisherman folks. Other fishing in Kuah or Cenang are just 4 hours trip where they take you near some rocks and fish for lousy groupers. Pak Hassan is expensive but his boat can take about 10 pax although fishing is best done only with 4 pax. Remember to buy a lot of appollo hooks if you are going for Pak Hassan, definately fun fishing for kembongs at the tuas. Pak Hassan can be contacted if you go Sheraton Beach's bell counter. His rate is normally RM400 per trip for the whole boat.

Hi,
I'm going to langkawi Jan next year,
need some help on selecting the hotel,
I read the langkawi V1 and some comment online and come up with 2,
Aseanie and Langkasuka.
can someone give me some recommendation?

other than that,
does anyone booked with www.agoda.com.my before?
I see the rate is cheap, just doubt about the reliability..

Agida is International. I have no problem wth agoda, asiaroom, sawadee & cuti.com b4..all are reliable.

BTW, Aseania is a bit far from the beach hor..it's not exactly on the beach...

Aseana rated amongst most worst hotel in the world by traveler in Tripadvisor. Better take Langkasuka.

Oic....
cause i saw the photo of aseania look great and swimming pool is big...
but nvm la now sure i go for langkasuka
Thanks for your help!

I was thinking about Aseania too..hmm

My advise is to go for Langkasuka. Aseania is a lousy place. They have a good nightspot though, a popular disco. As for beach wise one is about 100 metres from the beach while the other has muddy beach so both are hopeless. The only hotel to find good beaches is The Datai which is way out of place, very isolated. Next is Berjaya Resort and The Burau Bay Resort. This is also nice as it is near the cable car, 7 wells waterfall and the Telaga Harbour Park.

The best seafood is all in Kuah town. Those in Pantai Cenang are not wallet friendly. Only 4 outlets in Kuah town serves pork and they are the best 3 restaurants on the island. They are Teo seafood, Orchid Restaurant (at night), Ruo Tian Restaurant.The seafood is good and always order for prawns in Langkawi. Prawns are fresh there.

If you are a Malay, go for Restoran Sinaran (lunch)opposite Bank Islam. Till today I have still not tasted good Malay food even in KL. Wan Thai restaurant serves authentic Thai Malay food.

For best prices for liquor, it is Wawasan in Kuah. They are a duty free store selling almost everything from gamat, cashew nut to chocolate. I have been staying there for almost 13 years and I can confidently say those I mentioned are the best. As you can see most of them are in Kuah town, it is not wrong to choose a hotel in Kuah town itself. Better choice would be staying one day at the beach and the rest in Kuah. One secret is a private hotel in Jalan Ulu Melaka opposite Taman Seri Aman just beside a car workshop and a nursery. For RM50 you get air cond. room with hot water and it is clean.

PM me if you need to know anything about Langkawi.

hmmph guys i've been trying to look for chalet/villa to accomodate around 12 ppl. i kinda had my eyes on frangipani resort suites, but is the place any good? pelangi looks good too =DD
