Duty free shopping
by kyoub
Bring what ever you wish. It depends on whether you are staying for a week-end or a few months. Maybe you should bring an empty bag and stock up while you are here. Langkawi is a very casual island so you won't need any dressy clothes. Cotton is best because it does get warm here even with the ocean breeze. Capris, shorts, shirts, long trousers, hat, swim attire and cover-ups. Don't forget the sandals and a pair of comfy walking shoes. Please only wear your swim attire while at the beach. There are several shops but if you have a favoite brand it is best to bring it from home. Bring it with you although it is duty free shopping here. Don't forget to apply the sunscreen.
Sunset and picnic
by ph7
If you want some privacy while enjoying the sunset by the seaside, you can pack some food, and beers, park your car by the beach beside the airport runway on the way to Pantai Cenang. Watch the sunset while drinking / eating.
You can also pack some food to Pantai Pasir Tengkorak along the way to Datai. Sit under the tree by the beach and eat while enjoying the beautiful view.
This tip is recommended for people who don't like the hot sun and crowds. You could visit the 2 places even in the afternoon when the sun is shining brightly. Both places have trees, where you can hide from the sun.
Taman Awam Teluk Yu
by Imbi
It is one of the beaches not own by resort or any other organisation. It is purely for public and any one could enjoy beach. There are few beaches exist in Langkawi, which are really good and quiet. You could notice few local families or group of youth there sometime.
Hunting for Batek
by nevermy about Atma Alam Batek Art Village
There are a lot of Batek (or batik) places in Langkawi. It's one of the best things to find in asian art. Also many differents in quality. Some are not even real batek. Ofcource the real one have both sides of material with same color and made mostly from silk or cotton or both. But if ypu're looking for the real batek wich made with the soul of the artist this place is the best. They have men's, women's and childrens clothes, plant material for your own needs and...paintings. Those look amaizing if theres a light from the back, as it is in their gallery part. The owner is an artist him self, so most of products made by himself. His wife is also an artist. They have a grait variaty of products. A lot to choose from... Painting are amazing, shirt is good both for parties and work. Prices are a bit higher then else where, but quality cost it. Prices are fixed.
