hmm mayb is school holiday....but the renting car hmm...abit $$$ for my 2cents.....

august 27th(no so peak season la).....rent an iswara aeroback....4 ppl each of us only need RM55 if i amnot mistake....

(55*4)=220 for 4day 3nite stay of us.....

oo...very cheap the price..1 ppl only RM 55...but i think is bcos not peak season lo..
if peak season like school holiday sure they charge more...

for a better and budget...go there jetty (langkawi) baru bargain with them....since alot for u to choose.....no need fancy car....proton saja la

as for the cable car price i cant recall it at all even though i jz return from there not long ago....

so fast forget the price...hehe..never mind la...

then is there difficult to park the car when we reach pantai cenang? got many car park there?

the cable car, some said need to go there early if not will have long Q, then wat time is suitable go there? morning aroud what time wo? then need wake up ealy lo..

their operating time for cable car i think is 10am-6pm....and yeah ask my fren(who control our trip budget) is RM14....during my time is non peak season..and RAINING....tat why when i am there...cant see much ppl and there is like genting highland.... waste.....

Black and white state is AFTER 12pm (some state after 2pm) anytime u like lar.....they wont forfeit ur money wan...no worry bro.....

Wow, thanx for the great tips joekrugger, haha really full of something refreshing to look out for in langkawi..

Ooops.. I missed the gem by Joe Krugger... much as I would like to go fishing and sotong catching.. with kids thats a bit tough to do... I reckon it will be really fun! Considering the fact that I was an avid "fisherman" when I was single.

Areas around Payar/ Song Song before it was designated Marine Park is a very good place for fishing. Used to rent a boat with a group of chums for overnighter there. Sotong fishing sounds nice, seen many ppl doing it in the past.

In fact, this time round, I intend to rent a boat to take us to beaches only and not dayang bunting la.. eagle feeding la... I just want more time at pristine beaches. Joe, any suggestions where to start?

as i said earlier, langkawi got 99 island surrounding the main island.
the boat opertator surely know which one has the best beach.
can arrange wif him privately. suggest u ask him to take u to Teluk Kawi. nice beach. pristine untouchable. go at morning and u can enjoy the scenery. beautiful.

for sotong catching, i remember chatting with this pakcik boat operator and he tell me if i'm not mistaken, around may-july is the best time to go.
that is the sotong season. i maybe wrong bout the month. u need to check back.


bout fishing i remember asking him bout the price. if u were to go just 1 or 2 person it's not worth it coz u need to rent a boat and it's very2 expensive. a group of 5-10 ppl would be good.

one more thing to add.
for chocolate, cigarette shoppers, through my experience comparing and findings,
'Ismail Group' outlet is the cheepest. loacation in kuah. but can't describe exactly the location. just a bit near the jetty and a bit near bella hotel if im not mistaken.
if u brought a group of ppl go in there, ask ismail, the boss there for discounts. he's the one at the counter wearing glasses.
last time i buy 1 carton dunhill for RM42 at his shop while others sell 44-46. same goes for chocolate. his shop is the cheepest around.

one tips by the locals there. dun go at langkawi when the time those pak arab season (june n july) coz school holiday over there...and summer time (maybe july/august) forgot la....for mat saleh. prices for everything are rack high. even u bargain oso can't get much less.

Haji Ismail Group if i am not mistaken....but there a few outlet store in there....in kuah i THINK got two.....greenish shop....we simply call it the GREEN-HOUSE for easy to remember....

agree with u bro....yeah the thing are cheaper...saw 30biji ferrero roche...they sell for RM16.50.....the nxt few day we gone bec..and its all gone....

yeah.. Haji Ismail Group.
hmm... they got 2 in think in that area. one is big one and the small shop one. i always go to the small one. it's the end lot shop. coz the boss is always there. easy to get discounts from him.. haha

sorry new here.

I've just moved to KL recently. Now im planning to go Langkawi by bus, where can i get a bus ticket to Langkawi? Any suggestion which bus company's better?

Is it better to get a bus there on day or night?

thanks~!

puduraya should be the ideal place to get ur ticket...if can....get bus services which depart and arrive at puduraya....last time around...i take transnational which is station at Perhentian Duta....really susah...cuz there is no bus service or lrt there....good luck to u mate

im going to langkawi from 25-28 sept, celebrate my bday. any clubbing places?

Some established hotels do hv Karaoke & pubs wth live bands...But frankly speaking those Karaoke/pubs will be damn quiet and u might end up alone inside the karaoke....if these is clubing u mean ..sorry too old for this thigy oledi.. ..Langkawi is about duty free shoppings & sight seeing...clubbing might not be a good idea there....For clubbing..Southern Thailand resort Island of Phuket, Ko Samui, Phangan & probably Krabi are the choices.....lotsa ducks/ casanova/gigolo there too...

nothing fancy there... u want clubs, KL is much better... i guess you need to get something straight... you go LGK for beaches, idyllic lifestyle, bottomless boozing and mindless frenzy shopping for duty free items... not clubbing.. maybe birthday at a secluded beach will be nice..

oh yeah.. tell me bout it.. :

A thought on going to Kuala Perlis/Kedah via bus from KL.... my two sen worth: Travelling will cost you 2 whole days... a waste if you ask me... if you plan and book your hols earlier... a flight to and back is about RM120/pax including bus from KL Sentral to LCCT and back) and it saves you 2 days and you arrive fresh and ready to rumble and when you get back you are less fresh and not ready to rumble instead of dropping dead (if you go by bus)...

Bus will cost like RM70/head round trip? Ferry ride?

tat time i travel taking bus(goverment with tose operasi bersih or watevername)....all tose bus driver...wow...SUPER FAST.....tat day i bec....from k.perlis....10.30am when reach kl ad 6.45pm....is torturing....i hate bus...senget my @ass pula....@.@

that time bus ticket round trip --RM66
ferry round trip---Rm15*2=30

total Cost = RM96 swt...

Huh..now interested on clubbing huh...There are lotsa of those open air pubs, closed do Agogo 1/2 naked & totally nude bars & etc at Phuket (That's 10yrs ago), now probably less ....However something closer to Malaysia...u can taste mini Agogo bars at Bukit Kayu Hitam neighbouring Thailand town of Danok!..just crossed the border & walk to the bars.... much lively than Hatyai! ...1 day excursion tour to Danuk & hatyai possible from Langkawi!

Yes agreed wth u that taking AA to Langkawi is cheaper than Bus!....All my Langkawi trip only cost me ~RM100++ per ticket (Both ways)....much faster & cheaper than driving or even taking a bus!!

ahhhh.... then it will not be holidays in LGK anymore....

Theoretically, if one is still single, just book those tix on AA when they have free tix or cheap tix.... then plan your hols around the dates you booked. I find that flying instead of driving or taking a bus is more convenient and time saving esp when one has to take leave for hols, even if it means an additional day here or there to obtain cheap flights... its better spent on holiday then on travelling. AA has done wonders for tourist destination... they are almost full even at off season period which is good for businesses at the tourist places.
