Hi,

Maybe u can try Awana Porto Malia.. right now hv promotion to Dec 2010

thanks for the fruitful info..

now i am still deciding whether to stay at langkawi lagoon resort or holiday villa...
i guess i will go by flight, hopefully wont make a wrong choice...
if i do have any Q, i will let u kno...thanks again


but 3 of us prefer the hotel stated on above... but is it awana rly good?

I think Holiday Villa has better beaches and nearer to the actions in Pantai Cenang and Langkawi Lagoon although new and nice rooms, it is situated near Kuala Triang which is a small fishing village and it is situated beside a river mouth (Sungai Melaka) which is actually quite muddy although it is compensated with a nice swimming pool. Best bet is still Holiday Villa and Awana Porto Malai is also another hotel without a beach but with a nice boardwalk beside a boating marina.

Have a nice holiday!

thanks for the info again...
but i am a bit worry bout ur 'best bet' wording here...hehe... no offence ya

Mr ooi company is no longer provider island hopping

would like to ask for those who are currently living or working in langkawi:

1) do langkawi have any facilities of language course such as french, japanese or spanish.

2)is langkawi have any music center which can learn instrument (violin)

i saw there is a Japanese Language Centre in Cenang beach during my last vsit i.e. last weekends

i did island hopping under this travel agent near AB Motel in Pantai Cenang .. RM25/pax ... love it!!

if travel by AA, how many liquor i can put inside luggage ya? any restriction?

Years has gone by and the catch in Langkawi is dwindling. Local anglers is going further and further away from the shores for better catch. For deep sea fishing there is a sunken wreck 10 nautical miles South of Pulau Singa. You must also time your fishing dates with 'air mati' when the current is the weakest.

The only person I know that can will do these charters is Pak Hassan in Kuala Triang. You can look for him by contacting Pak Deris in Alu Alu Fishing in Kuah (I don't know if they are still operating) or you can contact the bell counter in Sheraton Beach Hotel.

I kg. garoupa is quite common in Langkawi and those that are fished at the sunken wreck is about 8 kg. and above is you get the right tide.



This one is caught a few kilometres off Pulau Timun. Then again, there are no guarantees in fishing!

Added on August 14, 2010, 1:05 am In Langkawi Mall (not to mistaken with Langkawi Fair) there is one language center that gives language tuition. I can't recall the shop's address but it is adjacent to an Indian restaurant beside Vision Travel and a clinic. The street is called Persiaran Bunga Raya and at the other end of the street from Kamdar and Affin Bank. The language center is located on the first floor of the shop with rough pebbles on the corridor . (It is an end lot and used to be a pub, I think it still is).

My daughter used to take French lessons there but the quality of the tuition is so so only. The tutor is Patrick and he used to be a DJ on the local Langkawi FM channel. Good Luck!

As for music center, there's one on the main road to the airport from Kuah. From Kuah , on the way look to the right. After about 2 kilometers from Teoh Soon Huat, look to the left and try to locate Singapore Cake House. The music teacher is also the owner of the cake house. I know she teaches piano but violin, my guess is NO! If you can't locate the cake house, the cake house also have a branch in Pandak Mayah area. The corner shop along TM PLaza.

etigge...thats some nice catch! when was the picture taken? lets say 1-2km out from any of the small island down south of langkawi like pulau singa, pulau balar...could we get some decent garupa 1kg+-? im not aiming for those 8kg++ garupa but just 1kg+- and if get 2kg i'll be laughing until my teeth fall off already!

so is 1 - 2km away from any of the small island bottom fishing any good?

what bait do we use to get garupa's attention better? live squid?, prawn, or kembong fish?

another thing is trolling...i will be doing trolling too...2km away from langkawi islang can get baracuda bits or must go further away for more chances?

Maybe you can charter a boat to Pulau Cepu which is just off the southern tip of Pulau Singa. Personally the only fish I get here is 'ikan gerut' but I did dive there once and I see a lot of groupers there, big ones. I never hooked them though. In Langkawi, anglers goes out on Thursday nights and nets for live squids the whole night and some light fishing while doing that. Only in the morning, do they go out to fishing spots to do fishing.

As for trolling, Langkawi has plenty of barraccudas. You can charter a boat and head for a place called 'hujung buluh' and the islands around there are full of barracudas. Only thing is barracudas are successfully trolled on 'air besar' days and fishing is better on 'air mati' days. Most boatmans knows 'hujung buluh' which is also the spot for squid catching.

Happy fishing.
