Dear all,

I just came back to Langkawi yesterday, 3days 2 nights trip.

The car rental was quite cheap, RM 100 for 3 days, Proton Iswara 1.3 (M). Rented at airport. Not bad...

For the trip, quite ok la. The Air Hangat is still underconstruction, cannot dip urself there but they provided pails for you to dip your foot ONLY. smile.gif In addition, cable car service got problem and closed down temporary, (masalah teknikal), and still dunno when will reopen. Plenty of tourist disappointed. sad.gif
As for Bird Paradise, quite good, except the birds are too full and does not eat the bird feed. Croc farm very isolated but can see very very big croc. The croc show was not bad afterall. rclxms.gif

Went to Kuah town to buy duty free good, JUST a reminder to you guys,
see and compare the prices at each shop. Sometimes, in certain shop , a type of chocolate or liquor is cheap compared to others. For example, i bought Cadbury Rum Chocolate in Kuah, (Coco Shop), RM 7.5, but in another shop RM 7.9, but airport RM 12. Martell VSOP best bought at Bird Paradise duty free shop, RM 85. Others, RM90++, airport RM151. shocking.gif

Island Hopping satisfactory only. I think too commercialised. Nothing much to see though. sad.gif Went to see Dayang Bunting Island, the lake and eagle feeding, and one beach. Too many people at one time because all the boats go out the same time, 9.30am. SO, imagine more than 200ppl at one beach. sad.gif

Food, ate at Rootian as recommended in past forumers. Quite expensive. Before order ask price RM 25, but receipt RM32. Duno how to argue tho. I think they markup the price. But in another shop opposite Rootian not bad too. Coz they will inform you the price of food before you really order. They made the receipt when ordering. SO you know, how much exactly. Food taste good oso. The shop name- Sunrise....

Kastam checking- doesn really check. We bought 2 packs of cigarattes and he asked 2 Packs ONLY?? Hmmm.... liquor nvr check ( we bought 4 bottles) I even ask him- U mahu check???? Not friendly officer.

Airasia flights very puntual. smile.gif They say board in 5.05pm, then really 5.05 you can board in plane. Arrive exactly the time estimated.

SO, that's all.....
