 Paper Umbrella used in Langkawi, Net picture by bpacker One thing to take note when you're going to a foreign place is the weather. Esp in Langkawi, there's really no point going there to trek the hills and waterfalls in rainy weather, is there? On the other hand, if you're going there to dive and you're a keen fan of drift diving, the rain won't really pose a problem. Here's the weather chart for your convenience.. Typical Annual Weather Pattern: Temp Rain Sun deg C deg F mm inch hours January 33 92 35 1 9 February 33 92 35 1 9 March 33 91 105 4 8 April 32 90 190 8 9 May 31 88 240 10 6 June 31 88 235 9 6 July 31 87 255 10 6 August 30 86 290 12 7 September 30 86 310 12 4 October 30 86 340 14 5 November 30 86 220 9 6 December 31 87 85 3 8
It was actually quite dry when I was in Langkawi, so dry that there wasn't much water left in the waterfalls! Grrr.... Leave a Comment

by Imbi Langkawi Island is full of strange surprises but one thing which I notice was the traffic lights. The main traffic lights in town is not traditional traffic lights, it also shows the timer. You could see that when the signal will become red and when it will become green again. It was something strange for me. Leave a Comment

by Imbi there are no shortage of these scene in Langkawi. There are so many places where you could sit down at a beach and enjoy either sunrise or sunset. It was amazing to experience such a wonderful view. It is so energetic and it calms you down from inside. Leave a Comment

 Good Internet Service by phil_uk_net I mentioned a poor Internet Service in my Warning and Danger tips (SBR). But I found a good one! This is a nicely run internet place, unlike SBR. The machines are in decent condition and the guy running the place seems to understand networks and how to configure them. You are also welcome to plug in your own lap top if you have one. It may be a little tricky to find. Along Cenang Beach Road is a Fujifilm place and opposite there is a small road going away from the beach. The internet place is located just up this road.

 decisions, decisions... by mizzzthanggg This was a pre-Christmas trip staying at The Andaman on Datai Bay which was SOO great that we just stayed there most of the time and didn't really venture out to see the rest of Langkawi... but we did go on the cable car trip up Gunung Mat Chinchang which was nice, and we had dinner at a restaurant in the middle of a mangrove forest... very mysterious and romantic. Please see the rest of my travel tips for details. Leave a Comment

 Ascending from Orient Village by bpacker I'll encourage anyone who is visiting Langkawi for the first time to try the cable car. The single most perfect moment in my trip occured during my cable ride. I saw 2 sea eagles circling the balmy blue skies and felt so free and happy.
Hmm... the sleepy blue seas and skies, the lazy "island" feeling where time is non-existent, etc etc Leave a Comment

 Langkawi by phil_uk_net Finding this small beach used mainly by locals. I'm not sure of the name but the location is very close to the Ibrahim Hussein Foundation Museum, which can be found on tourist maps. When we got there the beach was deserted apart from a few locals and a troop of macaques. The water is warm and inviting with no jellyfish. A small stall is located on the beach where you can buy drinks and fresh fruit. Leave a Comment

 Clean Langkawi by phil_uk_net Cenang, and from what I have seen of the rest of Langkawi, is very clean. The resorts clean up their stretch of beach every morning so that the sand is free of debris, flotsam and jetsam. On the roads the only mess is falling coconuts and palm fronds. Leave a Comment

 Sunrise by kyoub I loved to go out on my balcony early every morning and watch the beautiful sunrise. The scenery changed every second as I watched the sun come up over the nearby islands. There was always a boat in the water adding to the picture. Leave a Comment
