to discover all about Malaysia for free first question how many islands are
there in langkawi. Langkawi is not a single island is a cluster of 99 island
on Andaman Sea in Malaysia next question why is Langkawi famous. Langkawi is
famous for its beautiful beaches unspoiled rainforest wilds eagles
duty-free shopping and mystical legends next question how long does it take to
arrive langkawi from kuala lumpur if you're planning to fly to Langkawi
from kuala lumpur it takes hour 1 hour 15 minutes but if you don't want to fly
you can go to KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur and from here you can get a train to
Alor Setar it takes around four and a half hours to reach here once you reach
Alor Setar you will need to get a transportation to Kuala Kedah Pier
it takes around 20 minutes to reach here and from there you will need to take a
ferry to Langkawi Island which takes around one and a half hour so when you
look at it all together it takes around six and a half hours to reach Langkawi so
this is not the only way obviously there are a different routes to reach the Langkawi
as well I have a specific video sharing all the ways that you can get to
Langkawi so if you want to find out more information I will attach the video here
you can check that out next question what's the best area to stay in Langkawi
Pantai Cenang is the most popular area in Langkawi Island it's only 20 minutes
away from the airport and there are lots of restaurants, cafes, attractions that
you can enjoy in this area they have a decent beach here is not my
favorite beach in Langkawi and there are watersports that you can enjoy and
all the other facilities that you looking for as well next question how to
get to Pantsi Cenang from Langkawi International Airport there are no buses
or trains operating in Langkawi Island you can take a taxi or rent a scooter to
reach to your hotel taxi service is here generally charges as fixed rate
according to your destination but if you have an Internet you can connect to grab
taxi to find out what other options you have next question how to get to
Pantai Cenang from Kuah terminal jetty if you're not flying to the Langkawi
obviously you will arrive to Kuah terminal jetty as I said in the previous question
there is no public transportation here so you have the same options as you have
in the airport you can either rent a car or scooter or arrange a taxi when we
were there they tried to charge us like 35 malaysian ringgit to reach Pantai Cenang
but we want to grab taxi and after check-in I find out it's only 25 MYR
so with negotiation we agreed and the taxi driver is there take me for 25 MYR
to Pantai Cenang next question how is the weather in Langkawi. Langkawi has a
very warm and humid climate the temperature in the island is ranging
from 24 to 34 degrees through out the year. there is not much changes and also keep
in mind it's really humid in the island as all the rain season in Langkawi
Island is from September to mid-november and in this period the rain avarage is
around 2 hours per day October is the wettest month of the year it's estimated
around 26 days of rain in this month so if you are planning to visit Langkawi
in October be prepared that you will spend lots of time under the shelter
dry season in Langkawi is from mid-november till mid-April during this
time there is hardly any rain especially in February it's the hottest
time of the year so you can expect to have 9 hours of
sunshine every day next question when is the best time to visit Langkawi
if you like to follow the high tourist season best time to visit Langkawi for
you will be from January till March it's mainly because this is a dry season so
this period there is hardly any rain and you can expect to have beautiful
sunshine all day through and really nice temperature as well if you prefer to
visit langkawi when there is no high season then i can advise you to check it
out in April April is mid season although there will be few days with rain
it's much more or less compared to the following months so that means you can
enjoy not crowded island with beautiful sunshine most of the time in the mouth
next question how many days you need in Langkawi Island I think three days will
be enough to check out the best sights beaches waterfalls but if you want to
spend here a bit longer to join in with the Malay culture spend time with the
locals explore the non touristic path then you might need a bit longer time
next question which one is the most beautiful beach in Langkawi in my
opinion the most beautiful beach in Langkawi is Pasir Tengkorak Beach it is
hidden away in northern coastline and it's a pretty small beach when you come
here you will see it's pretty quiet Beach and also it's surrounded by nature
there are monkeys on the trees and really nice white Sun with beautiful
crystal clear sea so it's a beautiful beach to check out but there are two
things you need to keep in mind when you're visiting this beach first of all
the monkeys they can steal your food or your items so you have to be aware of
that and there are no facilities here so keep that in mind as well next question
what are the top things to do in Langkawi Island the most popular thing
to do in Langkawi Island is the sky bridge and cable car you can see a
beautiful view from sky bridge and you don't need to use the cable car to reach
here you can also do a hiking around one hour and you can reach here that way as
well the next thing that I would like to mention is underwater world langkawi if
you like sea life you should definitely check this attraction as well other than
these two you can also check out langkawi wildlife park and bird paradise
and seven well waterfall next question what are the
best tools in Langkawi my favorite tour in Langkawi was island hopping here the
first island we went had a freshwater lake in the middle of it and it was
looking pretty interesting other than that when to feed Eagles and we also
wanted a nice Beach to chill out as well so it was a nice tour. the only problem
it was really short so they will always keep rushing us we didn't really have
enough time to enjoy the locations but than that
it was pretty good tour but keep in mind the reason we didn't have enough time is
because we went with the cheapest operator if you did privately or there
are jetski tours if you join them the time might be different compared to the
operator that we choose the next tour you should check out is Pulau Payar Marine Park
it locates around 30 kilometers away from the main Langkawi Island and
you can reach here by speedboat takes around 45 minutes this tour is really
nice for snorkeling and the corals here are beautiful as well to check out next
question how is nightlife in Langkawi when it comes to nightlife in Langkawi
there is not crazy party there is not like big nightclubs here you can find
pubs bars cocktail lunch where you can enjoy your drink with the view or with
friends more about chatting than going crazy party so if you are looking for a
crazy party holiday Langkawi wouldn't be good option for you but if you're
looking for chill out enjoy the beaches the nature then Langkawi will be a nice
place to check out next question which one is better to go for holiday Langkawi
or Penang there is no direct answer to this question it's all depends on you if
you like history architecture really nice food then Penang will be better
option for you if you like beach bird life nature the Langkawi will be better
option for you next question how far is Penan from Langkawi Island
the most common way to reach langkawi from penang is by ferry there are few
different ferries every day and this journey takes around 2 hours and 45
minutes next question what language do they
speak in Langkawi Island. Langkawi is part of Malaysia so standard Malay
is the official language but English is widely spoken in Langkawi and other
than that you can find some people speaking Chinese CME's or Indian as well
next question what is the currency in Langkawi islands the official currency in
Langkawi Island is Malaysian Ringgit but if you have American dollar or Euros
then you might find places that will accept it such as hotels or restaurants
but the main currency which I advise you to use as well is Malaysian Ringgit next
question how much will I need in Langkawi Island as a short answer
my advice is bring around 150 malaysian ringgit per day to cover your
accommodation food renting a scooter and this kind of stuff and on top of that
you can add like 120 MYR per the tour that you're gonna do and this
will give you a good enough budget to enjoy your holiday then obviously you
can do it cheaper or more expensive depend on what the luxury level you're
looking for and if you're gonna find out more information about the prices in
Langkawi I have a video that explains how expensive is Langkawi I will attach
it for you here you can check that out to find out much more information next
question how to get around in Langkawi Island as I mentioned before there is no
public transportation in Langkawi Island so if you have a driving licence I advise
you to rent scooter or a car whichever you feel comfortable and if you don't
have it then you will have to use taxi which will be much more expensive
compared to renting yourself or if you want you can also use grab taxi which is
similar company like uber and you can go around that way next question how much
is the scooter rent in langkawi there are lots of different shops that you can
rent a scooter in Langkawi Island the average price per day is around 30
malaysian ringgit but if you're gonna rent it for longer
than one day or if you are off the season advise it to negotiate and then
after a little bit of negotiation you can bring down the price around 25
malaysian ringgit per day also keep in mind while you're renting your scooter
that most likely will ask you for your passport as a deposit they will say I
need to keep it as insurance so you bring the scooter back I do not want
give your passport I do not trust when it comes to this kind of situations
that's why I always offer them deposit instead of my passport so when I was
in langkawi and renting a scooter they tried to get my passport but instead i
convinced them to give 50 malaysian ringgit extra as a deposit when I bring
the scooter I get the money back instead of risking my passports next question do
I need driving license to rent a scooter in Langkawi Island the short answer to
this is yes the majority of the scooter rental shops will ask you for a driving
licence of course if you don't have a driving licence and if you really search
about it I'm pretty sure you can find places that will rent you without the
driving licence but keep in mind there will be some police controls along the
island and if they find you driving a scooter or a car without the driving
license I'm pretty sure you all get a fine from it next question does police
in langkawi often stop tourists driving a scooter there are some police controls
throughout the island and if you don't have driving license you don't have a
helmet or you don't drive carefully these are kind of things that the police
care and they will check for it so if you do any of these you might get a fine
but other than that if everything is good even if they stop you then you will
not likely to get fined for no reason they will let you go next question is
langkawi a good holiday destination in my opinion Langkawi is a great holiday
destination it offers everything that I personally looking for it's more about
outdoor there is Beach life the nature wildlife and the people are really
friendly and it's really easy to communicate with locals as well so as a
general it's a really good place for me so if you're looking to chill out and
enjoy outdoors you will enjoy Langkawi and the last question is
Langkawi Island safe I think Langkawi Island is pretty safe I spent there
quite a bit of time and I didn't see anything that will get me worried and
also I was really comfortable going around as well but keep in mind this is
a developing area so the locals are not that wealthy and when you come here
there might be a petty thief crimes but when it comes to safety I don't think
you have any problem with your safety I hope you guys enjoy
