guys a bottle of liquor in langkawi how much roughly?

@alfredfx

Plan to go on Sat, back on Monday. Family of 3 adults, KIV with one kid (my nephew).

I checked flyers collected from MATTA fair, accomodation + car package, 3D/2N quite cheap, 300-400 plus package for 2-4 pax, must be for off peak season only la..

Have searched Yahoo! Malaysia for budget hotel, chalet, would prefer to deal directly with the hotel/chalet manager. Probably need a triple or quad room, saw room rate for chalet at Pantai Cenang around 110-140 ringgit. Surcharge for peak season some 30-50 ringgit/room/night.

Then for car rental, usual Kancil/Iswara can be as low as 50-60 ringgit/day. I think will be 80-100 ringgit for peak season. So, will be happy to go if I can get total room and car for <500 ringgit for 3D/2N.

What do you think? And what have you got?

how much for a basic bottle of chivas or black label roughly in langkawi duty free shop guys ?

Eh didn't read this, maaf ye...
booked liao for rasa eksotika, we just wanna place to sleep for the day i guess, view nt so important till i get richer
just one question, is the place near enuf to walk to the beach? 4 fella going ^^
Just pray it wont rain >.<

Sure cheap one-lah...Sumore cheaper than Airport duty free...Although I dunno the avg price, but just take a can of beer for an eg....In langkawi a can of calsberg is ~RM1.20-RM1.50 (In KL ~RM4/can?) avg soft drink in Langkawi is more than the price of the beer.

BTW, the size of liquor is diff from mainland..In Mainland it's ~750ml. In langkawi it's 1 ltr bottle...so dun be fool if u see the diff is not so great...Expecting 100-250-% cheaper than mainland pricing depending of type of liquor.

For perfume, not really recommended. bcos the price diff is npot really that great..only ~15-20% cheaper nia.

mmm....during raya,
i have the hotel booked,
worry about transport only, well since still can rent car, can drive around.. i think should be ok..
well, peak season no choice gotta pay more understandable... :-p

do you think Langkawi sell cheaper PSP?

Except Liquorette, ciggaretteres...& abit of discounted perfurmette chocolatte & kitchenette....Nothing ius cheap in langkawi...so no-no on electronics & food..

not really
my car HU i got 50% off mainland's price

Ada HU in Langkawi kah din see any.. ..Probabaly yes-lah for those heavily taxed products in mainland..probably car accessories too cheaper...but try checking the notebook, cameras & computer pricing..same only ...bcos it's already dutry free in KL..

Guys, anyone of you stayed at Bella Vista Hotel before? how was the place? People on trip adviser give the place pretty shitty review. but the last review was on december 2007. how's the place now?

U can read earlier review here...lotsa of ppl query the same too & the review is the same shitty thingy here...haha...From outside it's really shitty...BTW, it's one a failed rundown reclaimed township in Kuah hor...

Going off 2moro Will report back after I come back. Probably my liver will work extra 200% harder during those 4 days there
Thanks I had downloaded the GPS Nightmarket POI so I hope I can find the place.

I booked mine using www.latestay.com. It is quite affordable and save me quite a bit of hassle of phoning or emailing here and there. Only thing is they dont have really cheap and budgeted hotels in their list. You still able to find prices ~ RM100 per night tho.

Hehehe.. ppl are lazy.. spoon feed only! Kuah is so boring.. Panta Chenang more happening.. hehehe.

haha, please do report back k..im goin next week ^^
dont have any plans to do nuts as yet...anyone knows anywhere we can BBQ? my fren wants wor... =.=|||
being the planner a bit sucky, cos i love doing things there and then =)

Hola people!!! Just want to know when is the best time to go Langkawi ya? Is that fine to go end of the year?

when the rain goes to spain =P
u can find it here i guess

I tot langkawi can go all year round? lol.. i always go around middle of the year.. nice weather.. so far it didnt rain..

i should say.. ppl normally go for the duty free items.. but i would say its not anymore "cheap" most of the items are not really that worth even there's duty free.

Food is freaking expensive there. Every shop looks like a "slaughter shop" they gonna cut ur throat. So u save on liquor but pay more for food, in the end is still the same, imo

unless u get super drunk thereeeeeeee!!!!!

unless ur planning on bring a 4Liter back.. then its freaking worth.. if u just wanna drink your freaking trip off i suggest just go tioman island.. food is cheap. accomo is cheap.. and liquor is also duty free..

just one question ar, tioman got season to go wan rite? i plan to go next year for that =)
