Your trip is on peak season because school holiday. Average for Kancil during peak is about 60-80.

I don't know whether you are asking Koh Lipe or Langkasuka is a resort. Langkasuska is definately a resort, although a bit run down now. It's still classified as 4 stars but 3 star pricing. No beach because muddy. Further 1 km further away there's Langkawi Lagoon Resort. It belongs to MK Properties and rated 5 stars and quite new. Don't know about the rates though but I have seen the room. It's nice and there are water chalets there.

As for Koh Lipe. it is a fishing village. When you say 'Koh' I assume you know about this place. There's an island there where the beach is full of uniform sized black rocks. Looks tempting for aquarium or garden but don't pick it back. I don't know but a lot of tourist fall sick after doing that.

How can u get so cheap price....as I know the walk in rate its RM 165 per night?

Walk in = Publish rate = Rack rate. Internet rates can get cheaper by 30% even 50%.

i see...anyone got 'kang tao' for car rental there?

Any type of room in Pelangi that can fit 12ppl?

I don't think so. Max is only 4.

etigge, thanks again for your advise...if not for your remark, m sure to bring sm of the stones back w me...hahaha..i ll check out on langkawi lagoon resort..

7am pack up and go home.

anyone can recommend what to do during the free time? XD

You seem to have a lot of free time. Since you have already made a yacht charter so sea activities are considered done. The rest of the tours can be done within a day. Nothing much to do except relax and drink and drink and drink. LOL. If you are there, try Belvedere Vodka
The bottle is also nice. Too expensive here in KL so long time never drink liao. Also long time never drink Corona beers. Only RM5.40 there. Started drinking when it was only RM2.40 then RM3.20, then RM4.80. Also avoid Marlboro Light and Dunhill there. Lots of fakes.

I book with Asiaweb Direct website, www.asiawebdirect.com this website, The room i choose are only a single room without any package, so it's cheaper. There's a package which included car rental only rm120 or something like this also quite cheap but me n my sis worry that their car is very lousy so we decide to go rent a car from the agent in airport since we can test it first =)

For the free time can go for island hopping, most of the people visit langkawi will go for island hopping, or maybe go pulay payar for snorkelling. At night can go for a movie, or go to pub for drinks =)

miss langkawi so much.. last time i went there in 2003. very nice place to stay. banyak Kenangan Terindah di sana....

huhu..i'm going 2morow...but with the weather nowadays...i dont think i will enjoy my holiday there..

raining morning and afternoon..how can i relax at the beach..hoping that i can met any princess there to accompany me...

Bro, U been to Kok Lipe kah? ANy cheaper rate going to Ko Lipe other than Telaga Harbour?

BTW, for others, Ko Lipe is not Malaysia ho...It's in Thailand but closer to Langkawi rather than Thailand...Lotsa mat Salleh going there rather than langkawi...NMat Salleh know more on Thailand than Malaysia... so sad.

& BTW, ko = Pulau in Thai & Lipe actually derive from Malay word..probably lipih or lipis or sumting just like Phuket derived from Bukit.

Bro, go where in langkawi to watch movie? Got cinema there?

HBO channel lor...inside hotel room..haha

Added on November 20, 2009, 12:22 pmThe only other way I know how to go Koh Lipe is through Pak Bara or Che Milang in Satun, Thailand. You can book a fishing boat to take you there. Journey is a 4-5 hours agonising trip and if it rains on the way, susah liao. Best bet is still from Langkawi. If you want to know more you can have your breakfast in "BREAKFAST BAR" in Pantai Cenang. It is on the left a few hundred meters from Pelangi Beach Resort. Most tour operators hang out here to get to know tourist. Ask the barman if you want to know anything. ( I don't know it still exist though, the owner Moktar died and his German wife continued operating it) This place is listed in the 'Backpackers Guide'.
