The beautiful Langkawi Island.

I have written some articles on Langkawi Island and I want to update my readers on the latest beauty of the Island.  It is actually an island in the Sun and its morning Sun rise and evening's Sun set is actually very beautiful.  For the morning sun rise, you will need to watch from the Kuah town while the evening sun set, you can see the beautiful twilight of the day at the Chenang Beach.

There are many activities on the island apart from the sea sports. You have a mini race car pit , a helicopter drive, a Sunset boat ride,  a cable car ride to the hill top , a walk around at the hill top with fantastic scenic views of the shore line, a river boat ride to watch the small fishes and insects , a mangrove swamp and lake ride to watch the eagles flying and feeding on the chicken skins on the river or snatching these pieces of chicken skin from your hands for the bold hearted people ,etc. 

To enjoy the beaches, you have to talk evening walks along the Chenang Beach and there are a lot of chalets, hotels and motels to cater for your living needs and there are so many souvenir shops and eateries for food.  There are also fast food outlets like KFC,  Old Town Cafe, Starbucks, Coffee bean, bread story, Big Mac, etc. You will not be hungry as there are also local food like Ikan Bakar, Tomato rice, Mee goreng ,etc. However, for the taste , it is actually very individual . Some people say it is good and some say it is only average. 

For better food, you will need to go to the Kuah town where there are so many seafood restaurants and they are only open for business in the evening.  In the morning , it is almost deserted. A sleepy town in the morning.

For better beaches, you should go to Tanjung Rhu area where they have huge mangrove swamps and extremely beautiful beaches and hotels including villas standing in the middle of the sea. Wonderful settings and you can relax your tired body and souls.  This area is for the free spirits where you can wonder freely and effortlessly along the sea shores and enjoy the  breeze and the sunshine. It is so quiet here that you can hear a pin drop. However, the Hotel charges are a bit pricey as it is  mostly 5 star hotels in this area.

In Langkawi, the traffic is light and the air is very clean and fresh.  You can have a tour around the island and visit the tombs and wells of the princess Mahsuri , the black rice beach,  Mahatir's museum , batik factory,  the lime stone factory, etc. These sites are very simple and don't not expect any thing exceptional and spectacular.

A three days , two night stay will be find and there are very beautiful beach hotels like Berjaya , Westin, Langkawi santuary , lagoon resort,  Pelanggi beach resort, the delima hotel, the sheraton hotel, the holiday Inn and many more beach restaurant with variety of designs and setting.  You can roam  around to see the wonders of Langkawi.

Anyway, the word " Lang" is Eagle and some of the hotels is like what was sung in the song" Hotel California"  by the Eagles... there are a lot of spirit for the free spirit people as the beer and liquour is very cheap as the Island is a free port . You have to stay 48 hours to buy duty free products but you can drink and eat as much as possible when you are there.

So, to all the free spirit people..... the place is waiting for you.

Namaste.
