I want ask if anyone of you have visited Langkawi lately for holidays? I have read numerous report in the press and I need to confirm. Reason is I have 3 company customers (2 from US and 1 from UK) that are coming to visit us from Sg and are asking to spend the next weekend in Langkawi. I was told by them they have impression that Langkawi of Malaysia is what Phuket of Thailand is.

I read numerous reports that very restricted beer consumption allowed and also the price has rocketed. Not able to wear shorts in public. Night bands are also very restricted and limited now. I called up the hotel to enquire but they gave general answers like no concern as long as in the hotel area. They are westerners, so these kind of restriction will be a concern.

Anyone who has visited Langkawi lately, pls share your opinions…. TQ!

Stay away from Langkawi.

Errr no, hotel in Phuket way more variety than Langkawi, and can suit every kind of budget

RM100 per night in Langkawi gets you this kind hotels

VS

RM100 per night in Phuket can get you this kind of quality hotels

It's totally no contest. the budget hotels in Langkawi look so tired and unappealing to stay at

Bali enters the chat brows.gif

Myself been to Phuket and Bali many many times, but after one trip to Langkawi, I already not hoping to go back already, and it's got zero to do with just nightlife

Langkawi's problem, it lacks a unique selling point unlike other islands (phuket - nightlife & bali - nature & beaches) and all these new restrictions only make it worse

(2 from US and 1 from UK), best not my friend, best not bring them to langkawi.

until now it's still very blurry on the guidelines and real laws when it comes to dressing code in langkawi.
It's best to avoid altogether, especially for foreigners when the rest of the world has common ideas or practice of wearing shorts and swimwear on the beach.

they say can wear shorts, but cover your knees, can wear t-shirt but not revealing. what is revealing though? it could be the slightest of cleavage if your boobs are big and it automatically became revealing.

everything they say is vague and can be used against you at their will.
imagine they're being hauled up by authorities, be it religious or whatever, then they quote some vague rules which they have, at any time, no obligation to explain in detail what it entails, and you as a local can't even reason with the authorities and protect your foreign friends.


if they want to come, just go sabah.
