10 of u? rent 2 cars la... .

Rates should not defer much, RM45-RM50 per day for Wira Manual. Not worth renting a kancil.... .

Kuah town has got loads of eateries. Langkawi's food isnt exactly superb.. its just passable... Langkawi Mall's western sidewalk cafe's food is decently nice and reasonable. Pasta meal or chicken chop about RM10/meal. Rootian... well... passable a bit on the high side but not as expensive as the restaurants at Tengah/Cenang.

Anyone knows how much is the custom tax if you're buying more than 1 bottle of liquor?

not worth to do it. superb expensive. bring some ppl that don't drink go together with u. then ask them to carry it when pass the custom

its an apartmen with 2 bedroom.

dont ask me y we choose to stay there....its bcos we stay there for FREE! we edy book the places...same goes with our flight.....

now got few questions to ask...

1. any1 stay at perdana beach resort b4? how izzit? i heard its quite far from town etc etc....

2. since there's 6 of us, we dont want to rent 2 car....kindda hassle....any suggestion? besides renting a bigger car (like unser etc) last time i went to langkawi is 4/5 years ago. i still rmmbr sm1 tell me, if we use taxi, its going to be expensvie. instead there's a shuttle van services. go any places in langkawi only need to pay rm1 per person per destination...but must hv at least 4 person....any1 use this b4?

3. if renting bigger car (which can fit 6 person) how much do we need to pay per day? any good suggestion? places to rent? erh....i donno wat car dat can fix 6 person...

4. if wanna go island hoping, where should i go? i meant, the place that handle this activity?

5. my frens wanna play banana boat which places provided this services? price range?

6. wat abt snokerling? any suggestion? price?

7. i dont really understand abt the 72 hours things....we will get duty free if we stay more than 72hours or less than 72hours? i intend to buy a lot of chocolate there....

8. to be added!

Perdana? Can seat 6 adults ma.. . If you dont mind squeezing, Civic, Sentra quite decent liao... .

Island hopping they are pretty standard. From Cenang/Tengah/Kuah.. its the same islands... see eagles, dayang bunting and beras basah or other beach islands.

You go to tg rhu, they have different itinery, bat cave, swamp tour... I think I will try this next trip I go there.. .

What banana boat?

72 hours for liquor and ciggie... but I guess they are lenient.. at airport, the customs just ask me.. ada arak? I say... ada... then he ask, bila masuk langkawi.. I say ahh.. 4 hari 3 malam.. he say, "Wokay.. JALAN.." He did not ask for my arrival tix.. so if only chocs.. no problem one.. . Get their after 8 or fazer mint choc... nice and cheap.. . I am a sucker for mint based chocs.. .

perdana eh? probs is...hurm...2/3 of my frens is big ler...how? still can squeeze meh?

well, i nvr try island hoping...my frens too...dats y we would like to try it....

banana boat aa? aiseh...its a big banana we all together sit on it....then a boat will pull it....hehe...

so which meant 4D3N would b ok laa eh....ic ic....cos last time my fren, her choc got stuc at custom airport...

mint base choc? erh...i pass!

i am still reading this thread from beginning....thinking wat should we do for day 2 n 3....

not very far la
i used to stay langkasuka
it is very near to airport ma
just the beach not nice only ma

An alternate opinion... rent 3 motor bikes.. . Be nice joining the rempits there at Langkawi..

how much does the island hopping cost per head?

Between RM30 to RM45 per head.

well...i be taking bus from kl to k.perlis later tonight....one last Q to ask,
the car rental thing...do we necessarily need to put deposit with them?

yes...i think rm50 is enough. dont worry, they will return back to u when u return back the car to them.

hey guys, will be planning a trip to lgk sometime soon, and i have decided on the hotel.

Best Star Resort, but before i make my deposit, there are a few question i need to ask.

1) Is the hotel clean, and alright to stay in?

2) Issit worth the money i am paying i.e RM 120 for a family room of 4?

3) And does the family room come with a minicar(fridge) as fas as i know, the suite does, because i think the minibar is kinda important to store chocs and drinks.

Haha, yeah that's it.

Thanks people.

i'm there now, at the cc near there hahaha....i've seen the exterior of best star ...i dunno bout the interior la but i think u should try another one called sand something resort which looks (exterior) way much better and the rates are cheaper i think.....

i've been to sand....wow..the environment there is good....near tanjung rhu one...if im not wrong...beach there also superb....a lot foreigners there....but very very expensive one...

Exp, haha, then it think it's not in my budget.

Any complaints on Best star? Hehe. tq

hi anyone have tried the island hopping in langkawi? if yes, whers is the place in langkawi? how much it will cost per person?

Island hopping cost RM30-RM45/head.

Different sites offers different island pleasures. If you take fr. Cenang/Tengah like what I did, it takes you to Dayang Bunting, Beras Basah, Singa Besar.

If you take from Tg Rhu, they have different thiggy.. visit to bat cave, swamp excursion etc. Sounds interesting I will do it next round.

Langgura... no idea.

island hopping is around rm 45-50 per head with the condition of there is minimum 10 ppl on the boat..

hi guys, i m going there end of this year, so now gonna do some research first..

1. Budget hotel in pantai cenang, anyone has any recommendation through personal experience? I was thinking of langgura or best star, which according to the picture looks nice..

2. Activities to do, it ll be a 3d 2n thing, so i was thinking snorkelling, but the price posted is rm130, issit this expensive?

3. Getting there, wat is the best method to get there if i m not driving? i m going in a group of 13 - 15 btw.. some options i thought of was train, charter bus and plane..

Thanx in advance for the reply.. thank you thank you
