izzit true?

True for what?

top ten hotel in langkawi...

malibest.. what are the room rates like??

also, regarding sandy beach motel, i suppose they're like chalets rite??? how much are they charging for non peak days ?? got below rm100 ??

will be going there with a group of friends, and searching for cheapest chalet available .. preferably nobody died in the room before... any recommendation ??

Try to check at this website. Its quite nice and independence website

Trip Report:

Four adults four kids. Rented a Mitsubishi Spacewagon RM240/- 4D3N (Full 4 days). Petrol used: RM70.

Stayed at Awana Porto Malai.

Cenang Island Hop: RM200/- per boat.

Mangrove Swamp trip: RM180/- per boat.

Highlight is definitely the Mangrove Swamp. Although the stops they made are pretty dumb ones... croc cave, bat cave, gua cerita and fish farm..... the scenery from the trip is simply breathtaking. The boatman was quite good too... took us out to see some fishermen doing shrimp fishing... but err.. got caught in a storm and got ourselves TOTALLY DRENCHED.. LOL!

The island hopping thinggy. It is too commercialized but I guess when you bring your guests over for a trip, you are suckered into taking them for one. But find the cheapest! RM25/- per head if there are not many of you there but if many, I suggest you book one entire boat for RM200. The place to book cheap island hopping trips would be at AB Motel. Others, you have the beach boys charging you RM35 - RM40 per head..

Food, well, tried other unadvised shops, DO NOT GO TO SUNRISE RESTAURANT in Kuah! They are darn expensive... But, do try Hj Jailani's ikan bakar at Cenang. So far, I think they do the best Stingray bakar I have had. Their cili dip is great! Spicy and excellent dip!

Breakfast Bar, Cenang, is great for breakfast while an evening walk down the street of Cenang, you may get Stussy, Quicksilver tshirts for a song! (Celup ones of course).

If you can afford, Barn Thai, Kilim (on the way to Tg Rhu) is a great spot for good food. Restoran Siam @ Cenang offers some great Thai fare too at reasonable prices, of course nothing beats Barn Thai.

Wanted to try PutuMayo at Cenang but ermm.. ran out of stomach space.

Hi guys, this is my planned itinerary for my coming trip in July, please give any comment on this. I excluded Pulau Payar for some reason, and need you guys' inputs on some cheap n nice food to slot in between. Thanks

Hi there, where do you get the Rm180/boat for mangrove trip ? I read someone's itinery and it cost him RM250. Thanks

Call up this guy.... his name is Mat, his boss is En. Romli...017-5588614. He is friendly and really accomodating. His receipt is Rm200/- but nego with him a bit... his services takes off from Tg Rhu. The visit to fish farm is free but entry to fish farm need to pay Rm5/= per head.

If you are staying in Cenang, try Hj Ramli or Hj Jalani ikan pangang.. their pari pangang is grilled to perfection and the sauce is simply awsome. The best ikan bakar I had in a long2 time.

FATMUM looks expensive... hehe.. maybe you can try out and let us know the damage.

Padang Beras Terbakar.... errr... nothing much to see really.. but Kota Mahsuri and Laman Padi is more informative. You may want to give seven wells a miss especially the climb.. LOL... "old folks" like us would have had enough of climbing to do at MatCincang.. . Their hotspring has been in eternal renovation since my trip last year while Taman Lagenda is also undergoing some facelift...
