i get an offer from kasina as following stated. Is it worth to rent a saga
120.4/ day in langkawi?
How come there's an additional charges of RM20 for delivery the car to jetty terminal?


Make & model of vehicle : Proton Saga 1.3 Auto
Rental duration : 2 days ( Based on 24 hrs per day)
Pick up and return location : Langkawi Jetty terminal
Rental rate (RM) : 128.00 ( less 20% discount) +18.00*CDR
: 120.40 per day
Total for 2 days = 120.40 X 2 = RM 240.80

Jetty delivery and collection fee : RM 20.00

Total charges = 240.80 + 20.00 = RM 260.80 nett

Expensive. For Saga it would be less than Rm70/day.You dont need to book in advance. They will search for you when you arrive at Jetty/Airport

i need 2 find a place 2 camp FOC, coz on a budget trip..
i'll be takin flight 1 day earlier as to my frenz,
and i'll reach around 10pm...
my frenz will reach on the morning day after, around 8am...
so i think there;s no point renting a room since its onli a few hours,
and quite pricy as well..
might as well find a place 2 camp 1 nite...

Camping gear ^ etc will add weight to your luggage & dun forget you need to pay more if exceeded 15kg.

You can find cheap accomodation in Langkawi if u search those hostel worlf etc. Mat Salleh on backpacking likes Gecko place..probably u can try..I read some of their comment, bed from RM30...

There are alot of motels ranging from RM45 - RM60 along Pantai Cenang without air cond. But get mosquito repellant though. You can sleep 3 in a room actually so about RM15 per pax. Go to Breakfast BAr in Pantai Cenang and ask the breakfast bar guy, he should be able to tell you more details.

will be goin to langkawi next monday, 15march until 17. it's a big family trip. already booked 3 apartments at bella vista. heard lots of bad reviews bout the hotel esp. the management n rooms. but we have no choice. kondo istana n century suria r fully booked. :-S
gonna take 2 12seats van and a car. 1 van is rm300 for 3d2n. is it normal price?
anyways, havent plan any activity yet except shopping and go to the beach.

mr etigge, can describe more about gunung raya? coz there will be bunch of lil kids with us.

etigge,

I already draw up my last 3 motel selection which will be
AB motel
Langkapuri inn
Malibest

Which one will you recommend?

All three of them are almost the same but AB or abu bakar motel seems to be pretty popular. Maybe because it is a chalet type but sometimes they give dormitory style lodging and this one is across the road and not by the beach. If you book before going sometimes Awana Porto Malai cost just RM30 to RM40 more but the jump from no star motel to a 4 star hotel is quite a bargain. Maybe you can cramp 4 to a room and still pay the same price for each person but it will be more comfortable. Check Awana before you go, you might be suprised!

Etigge,

If i dont have any check in luggage with air-asia, Can i hand carry Alcohol and liquor?

Domestic flight shud be Ok for liquid ... i think so ...

I am not to sure myself but I think a call to Air Asia can confirm this. Just a phone call will clear this up,

can hand carry..did that last year

Ab motel sure as hell is a though nut to get discount from

Even booking 4 rooms also they are not willing to give a discount

By the way etigge, Mr Ooi is no longer providing island hoping

so few going langkawi recently? im going this june..

Liquird can hand carry ??

Can. Malaysias' domectic airports are not as strict as others in the world. Only for Int flight you can do it but here in M'sia the airport very liberal liao...

Well, that's why foreigners wth bad intention luv M'sian airports..We have been making headlines worldwide for this lack of security..haha..

I was told even local China airport rules is worst than those in US!..

Well done Malaysia.

Is the white tower thingy at Awana Porto Malai accessible for everybody? Or is it just for those who are staying at the hotel?

Hey guys, Im staying at Berjaya Hotel and Spa

Anyone going too, we can share some of tour boats there...

Just received an email from latestays.com, saying that my booking of Langkasuka Beach Resort (8-11 May 2010) has been changed to Hotel Helang as Langkasuka is closing down with immediate effect!! wth?!?! Has anyone heard of this news?
I don't feel like staying at Hotel Helang as it's not located on the beach.... any recommendation for other hotels? (budget under RM150 per night)

I would ask to change to Pantai Cenang area if I were you. Helang are more suitable for business purpose.
