hey guys. i just got back from langkawi yesterday night. all i can say is, if u are not a smoker or drinker, better go redang or perhentian.

ACCOMODATION:
we stayed in berjaya langkawi. beach not bad. but food very limited, not nice, and expensive. according to the staff, this month mostly are tourist from russia. next month going to be arabians. during my stay there, i have not bump into any local guest. can u believe it??
they have nice pool but not deep enough. only about 1.5m. to get to the hotel lobby/beach/pool, u will need to call for the in house shuttle service cuz it will be too far for u to walk from the chalets.
berjaya is also quite far from the various tourist spot. 30 min to kuah, 30 min to tanjung rhu... the nearest is the cable car ride which is only 10 min walk from the hotel.


FLIGHT:
air asia of course! check in counter only open 2 hours before departure. the flight is around 40 minutes only. not 1 hour as mention in the schedule.
LANGKAWI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT have very limited food, shopping etc. they only have Kenny Rogers and starbucks. no foodcourt. only have one duty free shop each selling cosmetics, liquor, cigarettes, chocolates. price are much more expensive than kuah town.

PLACES I WENT:
mangrove tour which include eagle feeding. very very nice view and experience. cable car ride. and also walking around kuah town and the local pasar mlm. pasar malam is a waste of time i think because its has no difference compare to those in kl.

thank god for the nice weather when i am there!

some photos to share. (taken with 1.3megapixels camera phone)
