Langkawi Holiday
Filed in: Life Log — May 24th, 2007
In case you were wondering, I was on vacation in the past few days. I went to Langkawi with friends, 12 of us. It was fun to travel with friends. 
We booked the travel package during MATTA Fair. We took AirAsia flight to Pulau Langkawi. The package included car rental of 4 Proton Iswara. I must say the cars are old and broke, fortunately we were safe during the 3 days 2 nights. We stayed in lousy chalets with minimum facilities.
In the Langkawi Island, we had island hopping tour(pregnant maiden lake, eagle feeding, wet rice island), took Langkawi cablecar, cross through the scary bridge between hills (name?).
We had a seafood dinner at Coconut Beach Restaurant but my friends were disappointed by their services, food and the expensive bill. The last night in Langkawi, we had another seafood dinner in Kuah but that time was much more satisfied and surprisingly cheap bill.
Langkawi is duty free island. We had a great shopping time. 12 of us spend few thousands bucks on chocolate, wine and perfume just in an hour’s time!
I saw a lot of spa resports in Langkawi. One of my friend went to the spa and was offered an “extra service” by the Thailand massage girl, but he didn’t try the “service”. 
My two cents
If I am right, this is the 2nd time of my self-funded travel with friends. The first time was during secondary school. I often travel with family, traveling with friends is another great experience. My friends plan to travel to foreign country next year, probably Bali.
By the way, take extra notice on the promotional packages during MATTA Fair. The package was RM210+ for each person, including flights, chalet and car rental. What we got were not what we expected, although they are still acceptable.
Update: uploaded more photos!
