Things I did in Langkawi

Once upon a time, I lived in Langkawi for about 3 months. Can’t remember the exact time but as I still remember, I didn’t explore much.

The only attraction place I went was Pantai Cenang.

Now after 7 years, I came back to this isle of legend. And this time, I took along my mom and a niece.

The holiday started a day after our national general election.  So the happy feelings from the GE’s result added more for this trip.

1^st day

• We took a flight from KLIA and reached Langkawi airport at almost 6pm. Rent an AXIA – cheap, its only RM50 a day, and drove straight to check-in at T Star Cottage (https://www.tstarcottage.com.my/). I always like to stay near to a beach and this place, although it’s small, it’s still comfy and has a peaceful ambience. Totally worth every penny. But be careful of monkeys!

• Dinner at Selera Lubuk Buaya, Jalan Pantai Tengah. A tasty Thai food.

2^nd day 

• Lunch Ikan Bakar at restaurant near to airport
• Cable Car

• 3D Art Paradise 

• Pantai Pasir Tengkorak

• Telaga Harbor

• Dataran Helang

• Dinner at Chef Zack restaurant

3^rd day

• Island Hopping trip. We went to Pulau Dayang Bunting, Pulau Beras Basah and Eagle Feeding point at Pulau Singa Besar

• Lunch at Pantai Cenang. Very delicious and affordable seafood.

• Mahsuri Village. It’s nothing much, there’s her tomb, houses and a small museum. Purposely brought mom to visit and at least something interesting that we got to see a traditional music performance.

• Shopping chocolates at Kompleks HIG. Many varieties and they say the price is mostly cheaper there.
• Laksa Kaw Ikan Sekoq tepi airport. A few food truck to choose, mostly selling laksa, char kuey teow and rojak. Too many people so it’s quite slow to get your food. And for me, the laksa I tried not really delicious tho.
• Went to Teluk Baru, just to watch the bay again.

4^th Day

• Breakfast at Roti Canai Blackpepper, Jalan Kedawang. Ingatkan apa la roti canai blackpepper, rupanya kuah tu kuah blackpepper. Sedap jugak. Nasi lemak pon sedap
• Flight back to KLIA at 10am

Actually, there are many other places you can go in Langkawi. As I was with my mom, it’s quite limited to do activities, only suitable for sight-seeing places. However I was glad that mom managed to reach Pulau Dayang Bunting, which she had to do a trekking about 15-20 mins. I felt guilty tho to see her struggle. Uhh~ but thank God nothing bad happened.

The next time to go Langkawi, maybe I’ll put these in the list:

• Snorkeling and diving in Payar Island
• Seven Wells waterfall
• Paragliding
• Tanjung Rhu beach
• Mangrove Tour
• Jetski island hopping
• Skytrex

Btw, thanks Langkawi for the good memories :)
