if you are food/ santai chill traveller like ichang then u will appreciate langkawi

if u kaki party, kaki minum then forget about langkawi.

Yes . I've been to both. That is why its back to the individual. If i want to go scuba dive i will go bali. If i want to go night markets and vibrant night stuff i'll go phuket. If i just want to chill and quiet then will consider langkawi.

There are people who don't care about partying / nightlife, they just want to chill with their families. Lots of hidden gems in langkawi as well. Maybe u didnt find those?

There are various waterfalls, cable car, hidden restaurants in paddy fields, water activities , too many to list here. U just need to know where to look and where the locals go.
