nice pics TYW, how long was the boat journey from Penang and was it comfortable or there was much rolling at sea. Care to post more from the time in langkawi.

it was about 3 hours journey. well, some people can get sea sick and throw up on the boat and others don't. i was a little sea sick when i was at the open sea. almost threw up he he...

no more pics liao wor... we arrived at around 12 and went back at 5. no time liao... :(

Nice pics, wonderfull view, rare views.....
Good JOB

3 hours in the boat! wat if rough sea can imagine people getting sick. will you go by boat again

3 hours in the boat! wat if rough sea can imagine people getting sick. will you go by boat again

they have lots of plastic bags on board so.... ha ha. there was a woman throwing up in the row in front of me :yes:

well, i'm not sure if i will coz the view from the boat is to die for, but the feeling of the stomach oscillating with the waves is kinda uncomfortable. i guess one should take the boat at least once though, it is a good experience. if you feel ok with the oscillation, then i'll suggest you take the boat coz it's much faster than taking the bus to Kuala Kedah or Kuala Perlis and taking the boat to Langkawi. the boat from Kuala Kedah to Langkawi is 2 hours!! and Kuala Perlis might only be slightly shorter time than that. (well, if you are going from Penang of course. i guess it should be faster if you go to Kuala Kedah if you are coming from KV)

BTW, thanks, for your comments and cooltemper as well ;)

well, i was quite disappointed with Langkawi's water quality. it is more or less the same as Penang. of course overall, Langkawi's water is cleaner than Penang. let's put it this way, Langkawi's cleanest beach's water quality is almost the same as the Penang's cleanest beach's water quality but Penang's dirtiest is much more dirty than Langkawi

^^ BTW, the 2 islands are man made. just like Sentosa

after that we went to Barn Thai. a fusion restaurant located about 500m in the mangrove forest. we have to walk on the walkway to get in. it is kinda pricey and food...err...so so only. very interesting environment. i only have pics of the interior (2 of them) but they turned out ugly, so i didn't edit them. no need to ask from the SLR one coz it is still sleeping in the hotel. and don't ask me to edit my friend's photos or i'll mengamuk!!

now, day 3...final day... and this thread is 6 pages already. :eek:

actually we switched hotel the 2nd night as the 1st night was free but only for 1 night. so we just had to switch the 2nd night.

out hotel is near this beach, Pantai Cenang

and now time to go home...

wait... we didn't ride the cable car??

ok, it was raining and misty and wet and everything. the lady at the counter told us that if the weather gets any worse, they have to stop the cable car, wait for the weather to become better then bring us down. and there's no refund. that's good enough to scare us off... :(

I always like Penang skylines taken from the ferry.

thanks for the comments :cheers:

I am very GLAD that finally they install digital timetable in Kuah Jetty.
But why the timing not in sequence :? ( I think they should arrange it according to the departure time , not to divide it between separate destinations )

Very fantastic pics dude ! Where did you stay ? City Bayview ?? ( it is my all-time favourite ). And when you went off for island hopping, you embarked the boat in Awana Porto Malai ?? ( I remeber precisely the shape of that hotel ) . I've been to Tanjung Rhu though but I don't think it's the best beach in Langkawi, IMO the best award goes to Pantai Pasir Tengkorak ( english name : Black Sand Beach ) which is right in the middle on the way to Datai.

And hey how much the fare from Langkawi to Penang by boat ? It is cheaper to travel that complex compared to direct line ??

Mmm..... I think I should've told you before that Langkawi's weather is at its worst in May and December :D The best times to visit Langkawi are in February and August, sunshine on most days !

I didn't know that Gelleria Perdana and Langkawi Crystal such nice places from your pics , I ignored them every time i traveled to Langkawi. Next time, i will stop there for sure :)

What are they doing to the pier?

haven't you try Genting's?

don't you think her wings are short?...any eagles can't even fly with that short wings!!.....the scrupture maker did a very big mistake

maybe they were afraid the body can't support the weight of the wings?? :lol:

i think so too. they should arrange by time just like airports. but they do that might be the reason that there are two jetties, one side for Kuala Perlis and the other Kuala Kedah, so...

thanks for the compliments and comments ;)

we stayed in Perdana Beach (Padang Matsirat) the 1st day and Best Star (Pantai Cenang) the 2nd

yea, went island hopping from Awana Porto Malai.

i don't really like Black Sand. it isn't really that clean.

i've not been to Datai Bay. i would love to go there next time, along with the other paces we've missed like Cable car and underwater world :yes:

And hey how much the fare from Langkawi to Penang by boat ? It is cheaper to travel that complex compared to direct line ??

Penang to Langkawi by boat is RM 50. the other way should be about the same i guess.

yes, it is cheaper going to kuala kedah and change to bus and everything. it costs about RM 30 that way

Mmm..... I think I should've told you before that Langkawi's weather is at its worst in May and December :D The best times to visit Langkawi are in February and August, sunshine on most days !

well, i'm glad the weather was not that sunny as i hate the heat ha ha... but then again, cloudy and rainy weather is not good for photography...

I didn't know that Gelleria Perdana and Langkawi Crystal such nice places from your pics , I ignored them every time i traveled to Langkawi. Next time, i will stop there for sure :)

Galleria Perdana is worth a visit. but not a repeated visit.

i've not been to the crystal factory...

What are they doing to the pier?

upgrade it, so that large cruise ships can dock there. currently, those large ships have to stop off coast and use smaller boasts to transport passengers to the island

the cable car was one scaaaaarrryyyyyyy ride. even though i've been flying for years my balls almost fall of from the gondola....i'm afraid of something i cant control...i dont think i will ever take the cable car ride again..

haven't you try Genting's?

according to my friends who have took both before, they said that the Langkawi one is more scary as it is much steeper ;)

haven't you try Genting's?

i tried genting. it's okay. steep climb but the distance between cable towers is shorter than in langkawi. and the height too is not that high....

Langkawi still developers’ attraction
By DAVID TAN


RIDING on its status as a duty-free port and as an internationally-known resort island, Langkawi is still attracting developers from Penang and Kuala Lumpur despite the economic crisis.

The attraction of Langkawi is that the imported and high-quality finishings used for development are sold without duties and sales tax, which enables developers to price high-end properties very attractively, compared with those in Penang.

This advantage offsets the 10%-15% higher construction cost in Langkawi, which is due mainly to the transportation of raw materials.

For example, a terraced property in a prime location in Langkawi could be obtained for about RM230,000, compared with about RM280,000 for a similar property in Seberang Prai. Similarly, a 1,000-sq-ft serviced apartment in downtown Langkawi could go for about RM250,000 against about RM480,000 on Penang island.

Langkawi’s reputation in the region as a Malaysia My Second Home destination and as a holiday getaway has also of late, attracted foreigners in the sailing fraternity to purchase or rent properties there.

The economic crisis has yet to affect properties in Langkawi. According to Penang-based valuer C.A. Lim & Co proprietor Lim Chien Aun, property prices in Langkawi have yet to drop.

“However, the volume of transactions and enquiries has declined by about 80% for the first three months of 2009,” he said.

In Langkawi, developers are focusing on serviced apartments and landed properties, such as double-storey terraced and semi-detached houses, as they attract the most demand.

One project that should boost Langkawi’s tourism industry is a high-end commercial scheme from Thong Sin Development Sdn Bhd, a Penang-based property group.

Managing director K.C. Tan said the project, to be named San Marina, would be located on an 4.6-ha site facing the Andaman Sea.

“About 55% of the area would be used for serviced apartments, and the remaining 2ha for commercial development.

“We plan to model the resort after some of the sea-fronting Mediterranean towns in Europe, with the serviced apartments on top of the commercial properties,” he said.

“There would be around 170 units with a gross built-up area of about 300,000 sq ft. We have not decided on whether to sell or rent them out.”

Tan said the commercial properties would be rented out to enable the group to have a balanced tenant mix.

“The commercial properties will be designed to suit a particular business theme, that includes al fresco dining and boutiques. The plan is also to have a state-of-the-art convention centre to house a recreation clubhouse, a spa, restaurants and meeting rooms,” he said.

All apartments would overlook Pulau Dayang Bunting, Pulau Tuba and the harbour of Kuah town, Tan said.

“This is our second serviced apartment project in Langkawi, following the 147-unit Century Suria Serviced Apartments launched nine years ago. We have sold a significant portion of the Century Suria apartments, the remainder will be sold or rented out.

Other serviced apartments in Langkawi include the Sri Lagenda, Perdana Beach Resort and Kondo Istana, all of which were developed in the early to mid-1990s.

The monthly rentals for serviced apartments generally start from RM1,200 on the island.

Intra Harta (North) Sdn Bhd registered valuer Muzlini Said said the value of serviced apartments had appreciated by 10%-20% over the past three years.

“The Century Suria, for example, priced at about RM200,000 a unit in 2006, is now selling for RM290,000. The Perdana Beach Resort, about RM190,000 in 2006, is now at RM250,000.

“These apartments have built-up areas of 930 to 1,100 sq ft and have two or three bedrooms,” she said.

For landed residential properties, the launches are usually small, from 60 to 80 units per launch.

Bertam Development Sdn Bhd property manager Tan Cheng Chooi said the company’s recent launch of 59 double-storey terraced houses and eight double-storey semi-detached houses in Taman Bukit Indah, an established residential enclave close to Kuah town, had received very good response.

Bertam Development is a subsidiary of Kuala Lmpur-based property group Bertam Alliance Bhd, which is listed on the second board.

“We have sold all the non-bumiputra units. The houses will be completed by August,” he said.

Muzlini said the appreciation of landed residential properties in Langkawi had been about 15% in the past five years.

“The selling price of a terraced property has increased to about RM230,000 from RM180,000 five years ago, while a semi-detached house is now RM320,000 from RM250,000 before,” she said.

Penang area is so amazing, very nice :cheers:
