5 Things To Do in Langkawi’s Mangrove Eco Tour
The last time we went to Langkawi, we spent quite a number of days there relaxing and spending quality times together. One of the memorable things we did is the Langkawi mangrove tour. The mangrove tour can be arranged with the hotel lobby, in the airport or the local tours.
The tour took almost ½ day of our schedule. The van picked us up and sent us to the jetty. We were then transferred to the long tail boat or long “sampan”.
The price …

Pulau Dayang Bunting Marble Geopark, Langkawi, MALAYSIA
A few tourists asked me about Langkawi during our (Rachel and I) way back from Cambodia. It seems to be Langkawi is very popular with the European and the North American tourists. They seems to have a lot of interest and knowledge in Langkawi and Penang, maybe Tourism Malaysia did they part well there. Langkawi now, is very much different than it used to be. My first trip to Langkawi dated bac k to 1990s, where the tourist attractions were only the Mahsuri tomb …

Beras Basah Island, Langkawi, MALAYSIA
My previous trip to Langkawi really changed my perception towards the island. It really changed so much over the past decade. From a duty free island to now a more adventurous and fun island. The island hopping tour we paid, brought to this beautiful Beras Basah Island.

A direct translation of Beras Basah means wet rice. It’s one of the popular destination in Langkawi island. And example of Beras Basah Island or Pulau Beras Basah by Tourism Malaysia.

When we docked at the jetty we were quite surprised …

Bat Cave at Langkawi, MALAYSIA
Often when we talk about bat cave, the first thing that comes to our mind is Batman. Well, it is true that Batman has a bat cave. However, our country Malaysia also have our version of bat cave.
Located in Langkawi, the bat cave tour is usually packaged under the mangrove tour. Tour prices varies depending on how many person per boat and what type of boat hired. What I can say is we got ourselves quite a sweet deal. This was dated back in October last …

Do you know that Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad owns The Loaf? asked by my friend, Joyce.
“Yeah, I know…” I replied.
“His office is up there…” Joyce pointing up on the 2nd floor of The Loaf at Telaga Harbour Park, Langkawi. Obviously she was joking at that time.
The story itself is old, it goes way back to October 2008 when we were having a lovely trip to Langkawi. I guess probably many might not know Tun actually owned a bakery shop by the name of The Loaf. It has 2 outlets, one …

A Journey to the Underwater World, Langkawi
(Oct ’08)-Undeniable one of the attractions in Langkawi, the Underwater World Langkawi. I went there before, many years ago when they were newly opened. Now, the place now expanded so much, I barely recognized it. There was an unpleasant thing happened in 2007, where hundreds of fish died of poisoning.

The entrance of Underwater World Langkawi. For Mykad holders (Malaysians), entrance fee was RM 28 for adults while foreigners were RM 38.

Even though there were a tragic incident a year before, there were a lot …

The top 2 pictures are Penang Island/ Pulau Pinang. Bottom 2 pictures are most likely Langkawi Island.
When I can’t sleep on the plane, admiring the clouds and saw the islands, took my camera and start snapping.
Pictures are photoshop a bit but there are more work can be done. Tone and color is not perfect yet.
How smalls are the islands from top. They are lovely aren’t they?

Fancy nice and cozy Italian restaurant in Langkawi? Located opposite of Langkawi Underwater World, there’s a little green sign very much visible from the main road. The funny thing about this Italian place is, its run by English couple. Well, of course I had this during my Langkawi trip on Oct 2008.
We went for a quick meal since we had plans for our dinner. We ordered Olive, Onion and Cheese Bread for starter. It was pretty good but I’m not a olive lover. Since we were in Langkawi, we ordered …

We got a really good deal to Langkawi in Oct with Air Asia Package. We chose Aseania Resort. The place itself is huge. In fact, it is famous for its longest swimming pool in Malaysia. I don’t expect much from a 3 stars hotel.

The rooms were still okay. There were stains here and there which I don’t really mind. The corridor was a bit of run down. However, the service was good. They have local channels only, not even Astro was there, I wonder why.

The breakfast was decent. Eggs, Fried …

Langkawi GeoPark Cable Car Ride and Bird’s Eye View of Langkawi
“You must go and take the cable car!” – That was what my sister told me before I went to Langkawi. To tell you the truth, I have no idea what it was all about.
We went through the entrance, waited for 20 min for our ride and…

… it was magnificent… on our way up, I managed to zoom my old Sony Cybershot to this waterfall… Natural waterfall “untouched”…

I thought that was it but it was only the teaser, the …

Eagle Feeding tour is normally packaged with Mangrove Tour. Its quite breath taking seeing eagles dive speedily down to the river to fetch their foods.
