Tumpang this thread ya...
I may be planning a trip to Langkawi sometime after july (cannot miss the world cup ma!)... Which hotels are the most affordable (pref. below rm250 per night) and located on the beach? And izzit true that we have to stay for more than 72 hrs before stuff like ciggies and liquor can be brought back w/o the tax?
I have actually gone to langkawi before but only as a stopover... If things go well, this will be the first time i'm staying overnight on the island...
Yes,,,you have to prove that you are in lgkw more than 72 hours(or was it 48) before you can bring out some tax free item.... If you go back by flight,,,hide it lar.... But if by ferry,,,then try to be innocent.... I may be planning a trip to Langkawi sometime after july (cannot miss the world cup ma!)...

cheapest i heard is rm 30 per night but thats for long stay backpackers and very basic facilitiy room.... For a normal rate wif normal aircon room,,,i think the most rm80 will give you a very good choice alde.... Depends on whether u stay by beach or town also..... Contact a..... Erm,,,i think if u stay kuah,,,u can ask taxi driver but if cenang beach,,,,just walk thru the stretch and compare urself lar....
2. cheap places for food.
Basicly no good food here in lgkw so dun look like tourist and they wunt charge u expensive.... Cheapest here is nasi lemak......
3. transportation. how to go around langkawi
No public transport... Just rent a car,,,,frm jetty,,airport,,or some local groceries store wich is cheaper.... kancil,,,iswara will cost rm 40/50..... saga standard 50,,,sentra 80,,,wut else a.... scooter 25.... all is perday basis....
4. any suggested places to visit other than ones in brochures
I really dun suggest langkawi if you want a nice island holiday with nice beach and clear sea.... Maybe you can try to stay at the north part instead of normal south west which people stay lar.... Langkawi is a nice place to spend your money on tax free stuff or drinking only.... But if really going,,,datai beach,,,tanjung rhu or cenang beach is ok lar..... Gunung raya is a place to relax while gunung mat chincang is a must go place if u come langkawi.... You can also pay rm20+ for island hoping trips... Waterfalls is nice here tooo... Others is not worth visitinglar.....
