you want cheap(but dun want plane) and you want quality...

i went there on merdeka for a 3d2n nights trip staying in an ok ok 3-star inn with a return plane trip only cost me rm400...but you said dun wan plane la want quality la...

ok take the bus to kuala kedah port in a bus(roughly 5-7 hours) then take the ferry (1 hour) then go rent awana porto malai...should be rm400 also maybe more..nono definately more...or you can try the same thing but stay in aseania...dun worry sure quality cuz i recommend all this hotels are 4-5 star...if still cannot, you can try casa del mar or four seasons tanjung rhu (not bad cheapest room starts from USD400 or you can rent their beach front chalet starting from RM13,000 a night)

want holiday dun so kiamsap la friend... tongue.gif

lemme suggest to you..book now airasia for a later trip...the earlier you book the cheaper it is...i book my ticket a month before my trip and all in all it cost me roughly RM340 plus tax for my ticket and another RM50 for my room 2 nights(hehe quad sharing la)...

so book yourself a ticket early, then scout around for ok quality motels or inns...try nadia's inn..i stayed there not bad to rest but to chill not really...its located at pantai cenang...another one is aseania slightly more expensive but its worth it...located at the end of pantai cenang and its a 2-4 mins walk to the beach..

try to locate tanjung rhu resort too..dunno how much but it looks nice albeit abit old....

RM400 seriously dun expect much of a place to stay but really get a good transport...if not you'll be tired when you reach and even more tired when you leave...

i heard can go there via ktm biggrin.gif
not kiam sap.. coz we r student.. where got soo many cash to spend XD

now AirAsia got year-end holiday promotion for travel period between Nov until Dec!! RM49.99 1way without tax..
*
why without tax? n btw, yes, i'm goin with air asia

Transportation
1 way - RM49.99 + RM40 airport tax = RM90
Return - RM89.99 + RM40 airport tax = RM130

total = rm220


Hotel Helang or Langkasuka
3Days 2Nights = RM450 for 2 rooms
we got 8 person, means 1 room for 4 person (can i do that? add bed perhaps?)
means rm450/8 = RM57 per person..

Grand total for Transportation n accomodation = 220 + 57 = +-RM280 XD

Play & Payment
bird park - rm10
crocodile farm - rm10
super high cable car - rm15
beaches - FOC food - estimated rm15 per meal
oriental village - free (ada hot spring)
mahsuri memorial - some sort of malay lagenda.. free
waterfall - free (telaga tujuh)

if add transport n accomodation fee rm270, i dun think need rm400 also tongue.gif

btw, can elaborate more on no tax for airport?


* ops, juz realise u wrote the price without tax tongue.gif
i thought no tax

can la 4 per bedroom..you pandai pandai la...most hotels wont say anything wan even tho a room is for 2....but make sure la the room can fit 4...

anyhow hotel helang would be 10 mins from pantai cenang and 20-25 mins to kuah town..usually car renting would cost you around 50-80 a day for a saloon car depending on size...the last time i went i was in a 12 seater van...160 per day!!
*
but 12 seater ma biggrin.gif
can save fuel sumore XD
thankz for the info biggrin.gif
btw, what are the requirement to rent car/van? n what van is that?

baru balik from langkawi
overall, it is nice place to stay biggrin.gif
here is my review tongue.gif
-i rented a wira n iswara.. wira SE for rm70 n iswara for RM60 n rent for 2days.. but the wira FC is crazily high sweat.gif but it is cheaper than outside so nvm la since we got 5ppl in 1 wira
-cable car : i bought coupons when renting the cars.. if buy from them, i can get it for rm15 while if u are to buy on top of the cable car itself, it will easily cost u rm25.. i have no luck to sit on the cable car though.. this is mainly because the wind are strong for 2days n the operation is halted.. so i suggest whoever plan to go cable car give them a call 1st before go there (pm me for number)
-croc farm : very spooky.. when we reach that time around 1pm, there is no other car besides mine, a few protons n vans which in total <6cars doh.gif so we end up cancel the trip sweat.gif
-bird paradise : a must go for 1st timer! especially the very colourful bird like the parrot XD we can visit their farm as well where u can feed rabbits, ostrich, n a few type of birds (the parrot in front of the enterance is soo cocky).. juz to tell 1st timer, u need to enter the crystal room if u want to proceed with ur journey.. marketing strategy i think.. the part i love the most is when u put some weed at ur palm n put it openly, the birds will go to ur hand n eat em up biggrin.gif but in a cage only la
-air hangat vilage: nothing to brag about.. the name say it all
-oriental vilage: u need to pass through this village to access the cable car.. this vilage is more popular n crowded.. can buy cloths/play archery which cost rm5 for 10sticks of arrow, feed rabbit tongue.gif
-Tanjung rhu beach: sand not smooth n covered with shells.. not so nice to wander around buy can get alot of crab's hole n hermit crab tongue.gif
-Chenang beach: i think here is the most beautiful beach around langkawi.. with the smooth sand n clear water, this is very nice especially u go there during sunset
-Island Hoping: we went to pulau dayang bunting 1st.. the speedboat is damn freakin fast n can drift as well tongue.gif very enjoy the speedboat experience.. pulau dayang bunting only attraction is around the lakeside.. the lake is called pregnant maiden lake with activities like banana boat, paddle boat, solar boat, kayak, catfish massage etc..
my comment on this place is, never ever take solar boat doh.gif it cost double than paddle boat n need solar to operate.. means if the area is covered with clouds, u wont move n need to spin the paddle.. n the solar boat aint fast as well doh.gif Then we drop by around pulau singa besar where eagle feeding is performed.. those eagle are damn elegant n i hope to rare 1 next time tongue.gif
the last destination would be pulau beras basah beach.. the sand okok la, between chenang n rhu.. nothing really to play there.. juz swim around the beach.. if u are to go island hoping, it is adviseable to bring alot of mineral/boiled water as long as drinkable n some snacks as u wont find anywhere selling food sad.gif
even in beras basah, i only manage to buy coconut for rm5 haha
-langkawi parade: the duty free shopping shop name Teow something is the cheapest among all the shop i visited.. highly recomended
wow, carlsberg 24cans rm35!!!??? ChivasRegal 12years RM65!!!??? super imposibble to get in KL
thats all for now.. for simple question pls ask here.. for in depth question (unless related to the topic), pls pm me

Take bus from pudu - Alor Setar. Take another city bus to Kuala kedah Jetty. And take ferry and will arrive Langkawi. For the hotel, you can take alook 2-3 pages back depending on your budget.

KL-Alor Setar return ( rm80 ) + Alor setar-jetty return (Rm4) + Ferry 2 way (Rm46)
Malibest is good choice for Pantai cenang guesthouse.
