All events depicted further took place 3 months before the date of publication of this article. Due to lack of spare time and because of laziness, this late post is merely a vague recollection of a past trip.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Flying
Flying to Langkawi island, Malaysia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Langkawi is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Malaysia, so the landscape here is totally different from Tuba island. It’s filled with tourists, restaurants, hotels, hostels & activities.<\/p>\n

To get around you can use Uber, which is sometimes 50% cheaper than regular taxis.<\/p>\n

I got to stay here only for 2 nights, and most of the time\u00a0I had to work. First night I stayed in a hostel, El Studio<\/a>, in Kuah area. The hostel is pretty okay, costs 45 RM \/ night, it’s very clean, and the staff was great. The two guys from the staff were travelers as well, volunteering. Kuah area is pretty quiet, not very much going on here.<\/p>\n

\"Room
Room in Langgura Baron Resort, Langkawi island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The second night, I had to move to a hotel because of my work that stretched late night. This hotel, Langgura Baron Resort<\/a>, is in the most popular area of the island, Pantai Cenang. The room was very clean, with a somewhat nice view, costing\u00a0170 RM \/ night, and it’s only 5\u00a0minutes away from the beach, close to restaurants and everything you might need.<\/p>\n

Pantai Cenang area is nicer than Kuah; good food is easier to find here, and the streets are more alive at night. Also, there’s a nice reggae bar on the beach with beer and.. more :>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the many photos I took in Langkawi in these 2 days<\/h5>\n
