1st, what you need is a wheel. Believe me, it will be much more cheaper than a taxi to bring you around the map. You can get a local car such as Kembara which costs you around RM80 or Toyota Camry for RM150 per day. It only costs me RM50.00 petrol for the whole 4d/3n! (Sala travel & Tours +604-966 7521 / 1528).
2nd - A Map. hehe. Seriously, Langkawi Island map is very easy to read. easier than reading or listening to your boring sound of GPS in the city ok?
Play a rabbit trainer at Animal Park @ Oriental Village. I didn't take the Cable Car ride cuz I assume it is all the same as in Genting Highland and Singapore one.
The rabbit was like "mommy, mommy.. can I have all of that carrot?"
Seriously, playing with such cute pluffy creatures make u feel 10 years younger and cuter by 60%. lol.
It is not cool if you didn't take any island hopping excursion while you're in Langkawi Island ok? For as low as USD10 / RM35.00 you manage to get at least 4 hours excursion, with a minimum of 3 interesting spot/island. You can always go to Pantai Cenang area, there will be a lot of travel agent along the streets offering you interesting and cheap island tour package.
I always wanted to go to Island of Pregnant Maiden a.k.a Pulau Dayang Bunting since I first read about its legend when I was in standard school.
**Ok, this picture wasn't mine. Taken from some other professional photographer which he obviously was inside chopper or something.
So I took the cheapest tour (since I don't have so much time left) for 4 hours consisting of Island of Pregnant Maiden, Eagle Feeding and Beras Basah Island via speed boat.
So the journey begin.
Before we been brought to each destination, the speed boat driver (is it correct to call them that or?) speeding around the islands, showing us the amazing view of few small islands and rock formation.
Then we stopped by here. Which was not even inside tour itinerary...wth..
here, u can see many types of colorful rare fishes, feeding them...
or even playing with a young Tiger Shark!
Grill or deep fried?
He told me this thing is one of the crab family. I'm not sure what it is.. but I think it's cute!
Forgive my fat ass ya.
Reached at the most anticipated spot!
What a happy family: You will be greeted by monkeys & baby monkeys! Beware: Don't carry any plastic contains food or snack. You will be attacked my these naughty creatures!
Very, very naughty indeed.
Sadly, their child died from a mysterious illness at the age of seven days. Distraught, the grieving Mambang Sari left the child's body in the lake and returned to her heavenly abode. Today, some believe barren women who bathe in this lake will be endowed with a child. Many have claimed to be successful. - So, I don't dare to swim in ..yet.. worrying later I will get pregnant out of nowhere! :P
Dayang Bunting Lake is the largest lake in Langkawi. The outline of hills and rocky outcrops on one side of the lake resembles the shape of a pregnant maiden lying on her back.
Ok, I might be poor to rent a luxury yacht, so all I can afford was to rent this solar auto paddle boat for RM25 for 30 minutes ride. Hee..
Ok, they only let you to stay at the lake for about 1 hour. Then we move to the eagle feeding. this one I felt a bit cheated la. I really thought that they will let you feed the eagle with your own hand... u know.. u wearing that thick glove til the elbow length and hold some fresh meat for those eagles to snatch. It would be fuckingly awsome experience.. but....
...end of tour.
Look at what we've had on our 2nd day, the restaurant looks cheap, but it has a good view, which is facing the beach;
Ok, this one I must tell you... was the lousiest fried ice cream I've ever had. Don't order this la.
Verdict: Good looking restaurant with full of Ang Mohs doesn't mean serves you tasty food more than cheap looking restaurant okay....

I will. remember to take the excursion, don;t just sit in the hotel, swim in hotel's pool and go to the city for shopping. That's not cool at all!
