(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.
