QUOTE(Grengo01 @ Jul 18 2009, 10:46 AM) RM80? U can squeeze those blokes at the airport for a Latio at least! Thanks blackbird..  . Now I remember: (continue on my earlier post) Why you guys want to rent so expensive car in the island?  You go for a holiday and enjoy the island not show off your car. As long as you can travel around is good enough. Save the money, to enjoy the beer, food, shopping and sightseeing. Ain't this what you want?

QUOTE(blurprincess @ Jul 18 2009, 11:43 AM) better car, more confortable, safe driving, less hassle... different people look for different enjoy thing geh~~~ That is opposite in real situation. People take better car and race there. I even have one time during CNY holiday there, everyday see accident. All from outsider. Knock local bike, accident between them or go down slope. Lucky never see someone drive into sea. Even my friend drive like crazy there. Ask him why, he said not his car and paid high price. Safe driving is in your hand. Not the car.

QUOTE(dEviLs @ Jul 21 2009, 06:22 PM) i just came back from Krabi and they have a similar mangrove tour too, the only difference is in Krabi you need to kayak on your own rather than sitting on a motor boat..which i think is something langkawi should try as well  Langkawi have kayak also. Just people too lazy and want easy boat ride. Go to tanjung rhu public beach and rent one. I forget the price/hr. My next trip will try out the kayak around the mangrove. But one thing beware, it easy to get lost in mangrove without proper planing.

QUOTE(goodturtle09 @ Jul 27 2009, 05:14 AM) Hi guys, i seldom have experience booking for room. So i need to ask, in order to save budget, can me n my friends of 6 ppl stay in a same room(2-queen size bed) without paying extra charge? in either Langkasuka Beach Resort or Aseania Resort(they look vr nice). Did any1 have this kind of experience? I truly appreciate your advice. Can. Look for a chalet type and not the hotel room type. Easy snake in and out. If stay like langkasuka, book the 4person/room type. Extra 2person, they don't care much. Check in/out, don't whole bunch of people go to lobby to register. Others just direct go in to the room.

QUOTE(merenwen @ Aug 17 2009, 05:37 AM) Hi erm, me and a best friend are going to Langkawi 27-29 October, 3D2N, from Sunway. Total budget is RM2000. We want a beach getaway. Not planning to rent a car though. We also want to explore the food (he wants lots of chocolates too). Shopping not important. Can recommend a hotel? And is going there by flight or bus better? Pantai cenang is best place for you. If you just want beach and food. Try near to the aquarium side.(sorry forget the name).

QUOTE(Little Gal @ Aug 26 2009, 01:43 PM) actually im thinking wanna to join mangroove tour , because i nvr go there before. but it was too expensive. i feel it is valueable just because of im going with 15ppls so i think not all of them want to go. they ask me try to make it budget. if i bring them to mangroove tour they must make noise. we go so many days so need to be budget at all. How much is the mangroove tour you get? Mangroove tour is one of the best experience/sighting in langkawi. It is cheaper than island hoping. I myself going two time liao.

QUOTE(Little Gal @ Aug 27 2009, 11:47 AM) maybe u all only 5persons so they give discount until RM200 Nop. No matter how many person (max 8), it is still rm200/boat. If you have only 2person, either you want 2person/boat or wait till thery find enough person for 1boat. Who want to give discount during holiday peak season. Got money don't no how to earn meh.

QUOTE(Ami Tsun @ Aug 28 2009, 09:39 AM) @ozak Do you still have the contact for mangrove tour? Where did you get the RM 200/boat from? You don't need to book or contact. Just go direct to tanjung rhu and ask there. Don't go thru 3rd party or 4th party agent. Direct to the boatmen or the counter.

QUOTE(Ami Tsun @ Aug 28 2009, 01:32 PM) Added on August 28, 2009, 1:33 pmOh, I forgot to ask... what's the duration for the "standard" tour and what are the activities included in the tour? Be prepare for 2hr+. Don't ask more. No enjoy adventure and enjoy liao. BTW. Sit at the head of the boat and take picture. Ask the boatmen show you some snake. This this extra activity that are not included. And don't go when hide tide. Added on September 1, 2009, 4:03 pmQUOTE(malaysia-asia @ Sep 1 2009, 12:11 PM) Hi all, after working in and out of Langkawi for the last 4 years, I would like to share with you some of the interesting places to visit. As I read earlier, some of you wanted to know more about the Mangrove trips there. It is true that you can go straight to Tanjung Rhu and inquire about the boat tours and the trip takes you through the Mangrove, Eagle Feeding and stopping at Hole In The Wall floating restaurant and fish farm. In my link, I have a writeup with pictures and directions here. If you love nature and want to experience something different in Langkawi, I recommend this place. Yeah. It is a good place to visit. I will going back again and this time I will canoeing to the mangroove instead take boat. This post has been edited by ozak: Sep 1 2009, 04:03 PM

Don't play play with rule. Langkawi still have traffic police. I see many traffic booking and road block during big holiday.
You want get into trouble and spoil your holiday?

QUOTE(yahiko @ Sep 28 2009, 09:05 AM) those got registered car company only need to take information from you. Those "freelance" wont ask anything expect money from you and ask you to tell JPJ "kereta ni pinjam kawan" jangan kata sewa if kena tahan.  The latest news is they crack down on this type of practice and ban them from rental to people. Check few week back the local news. Till those people strike at the langkawi gov office. Just use the proper way and go to the car rental counter at the jetty. They will ask for your driving license and ic. If you still P, bring along the P sticker or ask your friend to drive.

Last time I use to go there directly and get the room from those jetty agent. No problem at all even CNY and hari raya.
But peak period you still can get a room if you search the net more. This year, I just book the room 2 weeks before CNY. With a normal rate too include car.
