Langkawi is quite expensive lah. better Hatyai

if pergi langkawi sama mahal pergi hatyai,
so you know where to go right...

Arab also dont want to visit?

/K here already warn long time ago I recall. They don't listen, even double down. Harga mahal, ban everything, not welcoming, fleece tourist and no take any action.

All this already been discussed in /k. If only they heed the advice here maybe not so teruk.

go somewhere less touristy in thailand,  much much cheaper. 
Hell, i can fly to Phu Quoc VN and have a cheaper holiday there...even with the airfare.
Langkawi had it coming. Its been on steady decline for years already.

What it's there in Langkawi that are better than Hatyai?

that cable car go once.
second time in langkawi, nothing to do. nak naik cable car tengok benda sama buat apa

Only solution is Teresa kok go swimming naked

They still don't realize PAS is no good for economy ka?
