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!

Kindly tell them honestly that Langkawi is nowhere near Phuket, if pricing of hotel and food yes near Phuket level, in term of entertainment, bar and food no.

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

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