The islands are a part of the state of Kedah, which is adjacent to the Thai border. On 15 Jul 2008, Sultan Abdul Halim of Kedah consented to the change of name to Langkawi Permata Kedah in conjunction with his Golden Jubilee Celebration.
By far the largest of the islands is the eponymous Pulau Langkawi with a population of some 64,792, the only other inhabited island being nearby Pulau Tuba. Langkawi is also an administrative district with the town of Kuah as the capital and largest town.
The name "Langkawi" has two possible origins. First, it is believed to be related to the kingdom of Langkasuka, itself a version of the [wiki=a262b428a9f612e74fe5033d3f1b49f3]Malay[/wiki] negari alang-kah suka ("the land of all one's wishes"), centered in modern-day [wiki=d23783452999c81d255ea5913bb6c093]Kedah[/wiki]. The historical record is sparse, but a Chinese Liang Dynasty record (c. 500 AD) refers to the kingdom of "Langgasu" as being founded in the 1st century AD. Second, it could be a combination of the Malay words 'helang', meaning "eagle" and 'kawi', meaning "reddish-brown" or "strong", in old Malay.
Langkawi eventually came under the influence of the Sultanate of Kedah, but Kedah was conquered in 1821 by Siam and Langkawi along with it. The Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 transferred power to the British, which held the state until independence, except for a brief period of Thai rule under the Japanese occupation of Malaya during World War II. Thai influences remain visible in the culture and food of Langkawi.
Langkawi remained a sleepy backwater until 1987, when the island was granted tax-free status with the intention of promoting tourism and improve the lives of the islanders.
This spectacular boom also coincided with the end of "Mahsuri's Curse," which was lifted with the birth of her 7th generation descendant.
The 10,000 hectares of Langkawi and its 99 islands were declared a Geopark by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 2007.

Bookings can be made online, but the ticket needs to be printed out. This can be done at the terminal for RM1 per ticket. The terminal is at Kuah Jetty, near Eagle square, in Langkawi.
* Tropical Charters [url=http://www.tropicalcharters.com.my/koh-lipe-transfer.html]]operates ferries from Kuah Jetty in Langkawi to Koh Lipe twice per day during the high season (until 19th of April 2015) at 9.30am and 2.30pm from Langkawi and 11am and 4pm from [[Koh Lipe[/url]]. During the low season, from April 20th 2015 to the 19th of May 2015, the company only has morning trips. After the 19th of May 2015, the ferry stops running until October 2015. Price is RM118 one way (RM100 if you book online), including the longtail boat transfer and Thai custom fees. Check in is at the inner entrance of the Jetty Point Food Court, opposite 7/11, 1 hour before departure. The trip takes 90 minutes. Arrival in Lipe is at the Bundhaya Resort.
* Telaga Harbour [url=http://www.telagaharbour.com/Lipeshuttle.html]]operates speedboats from [[Koh_Lipe|Ko Lipe[/url]], [wiki=103357e3e40a9c0e4e9d36110f7bbc7a]Thailand[/wiki] twice per day during the high season, at 9:30AM and 2:30PM (RM128 1-way, RM248 return, 75 min). These boats dock at the south end of Pattaya Beach. Bookings can be made online.
Health and Safety tip: Speedboats can often bounce off the waves at very high speeds and passengers can get quite strong jolts into the non-sprung seats, so persons with back or neck problems should not travel on the speedboats, but on the ferry. There have been reports of serious back injuries happening on the speedboats. They are also known as 'vomit comets' due to the number of people succumbing to sea sickness. Bring lots of water and be prepared for a bumpy ride!

There is effectively no public transport on the island, so your choices are to use taxis or to rent a car, motorbike/scooter, or bicycle.
-
By taxi
A taxi from the Airport to Pantai Cenang costs RM20 (Aug 2015). You can buy a coupon at the taxi desk in the airport. From the ferry terminal to Pantai Cenang the price is RM24. For those arriving at the Kuah Jetty and going into Kuah Town, the price is RM8 or RM44 to Oriental Village across the island.
All taxis work to a fixed price system, a fare from one part of the island to another is always the same price. This system results in higher prices, but very few problems since the taxi drivers are paid well enough and do not try and rip off tourists or participate in any of the dodgier shenanigans seen elsewhere in South East Asia. The result is a reliable and trustworthy, but more expensive taxi system.
-
By car or motorbike/scooter
Renting a car or motorbike/scooter is highly recommended due to lack of public transport. This can now be done at the airport from the departure lounge, and the rate is reasonable, 50 RM for a small car) and also from the port complex (Jetty), or from shops on Pantai Cenang. Refrain yourself from renting from touts, as many are operating illegally without permits and usually without insurance.
Renting an air-conditioned mid-sized sedan costs RM70-RM150 per day (depending on model, condition and length of stay) and a 150 cc motorbike/scooter costs RM40 to RM45 per day. Cheaper but usually very used and older are the semi-automatic 115 cc bikes for RM25 a day. A tired Proton with in Pantai Cenang maybe around RM60-90/day. Most of rental agency will not provide full insurance coverage and you have to cover the damage upto RM3000 if there is any accident.
Recommended to rent a motorbike if you dont have heavy luggage, roads are in good condition and safe to drive a bike.
Remember to have regularly check on your fuel level, petrol pump stations, (gas stations) are far from one another (~10 km). However, rental agencies do not care much about how much fuel is in the tank when the vehicle is returned so do not spend more on fuel than you have to. Fuel costs RM2.10 a litre and you should return the bikes with the same filling level as you picked it up. Some rentals do check the level and mark it when you sign the slip.
At the gas/petrol station for the first time will confuse you. You will need to guess how much fuel you need and pay first. Most saloon cars if empty are RM50 to fill up and motorbikes are aprox RM5. Sometimes you fill up your car/bike and you haven't used what you have paid for not to worry you can claim this back at the counter.
Remember to drive safely and slowly on the island and on the left side of the road. There are tourists, children and animals like chickens, cows and even buffaloes crossing. Take care not to run over the beautiful snakes or monitors. Cattle and snakes like to lie on the road at night; the blacktop radiates heat.
Laws you need to know:
# Drivers license needs to be with you at all times (international drivers license if from another country). Agency will rent you a car with any valid DL, not sure international DL is required.
# Seat belts are mandatory in all vehicles. Fines given ranging from 50RM if not wearing.
# Helmet is mandatory if you're on a motorbike. Fines same as above but more importantly the hospital does not have facilities to treat head injuries. You will have to get medevac to Penang (45min+) and that's if the helicopter is available.
Road blocks are commonplace in Langkawi; they are mainly interested in locals with no licence/tax disc. Make sure you have the above items and you will have no problems.
-
By bicycle
You can rent bicycles in many of the hotels. Expect to pay between RM10-30 per day.

This waterfall is named after the seven natural pools along its path. Legend has it that fairies used to come down to the pools to bathe and frolic. There are 2 viewing areas at Telaga Tujuh. The lower area is at the base of the waterfall and the higher area is where the 7 pools are. You can bathe in the pools and even slide down the slick rock between them. Be warned, to get to the 7 pools, you have to climb 350+ steps which can get quite slippery when wet. It is safe to swim in the pools and water flow is not very strong.
There is also a jungle trekking course available at the site which will lead you through a trail of up to 2,500 m, up 2 different mountains. This trail is achievable with slippers, but it is best to wear comfortable hiking shoes or boots as some segments of the trail are nearly vertical.

The SkyBridge is at the top station of cable car which can be reached through a small forest trail. The ticket for skyCab is RM30 and RM5 for skyBridge, If are going to Genting Highland and really interested in riding cable car and don't want to spend RM30, better to take cable ride (3.5 KM long) in Genting Highland (RM7).

* Ride the cable car to the top of Gunung Mat chinchang and walk across the 700m high Sky Bridge for a spectacular view of the islands and Thailand.

Officially you are not allowed to take food and drink on the cable car, but they seem not to be checking backpacks (when unlucky and all your water is taken by the security, you can buy one at the top).

To do this, from the parking lot at Telagah Tujuh Waterfalls go left just before the road goes really uphill and then turn left again at the water reservoir. The trek is very steep most of the way and in a pretty bad condition because the contractors laying down the piping for cables littered garbage all the way to the top.

Langkawi is a duty-free island, and alcohol and chocolates is significantly cheaper (almost half) here than in the rest of [wiki=3f0e49c46cbde0c7adf5ea04a97ab261]Malaysia[/wiki]. Airport prices are higher (2 times) than buying in the department stores around the island. It is highly recommended to buy alcohol and chocolates from here rather than buying from Airports. There are many duty free shops and price vary (~10-15%) so make sure you check price first.
Hotel tariffs and retail goods are exempt from government duty. Visitors with more than 48 hr stay in Langkawi are exempt on items like wines and liquor (1 liter), tobacco (200 cigarettes), apparel, cosmetics, souvenirs and gifts, food and food preparations and portable electronic items (one item).

Practically all resorts have their own restaurants and some tourists choose to eat in, but there are a many other options as well. Be adventurous and strike out on your own to savour the numerous foods at the stalls and restaurants all over Langkawi. Try one of the many seafood restaurants. Having said that, beware of certain restaurants advertised in the brochures targeting tourists. An example of such restaurant is the 'Coco Beach Restaurant', close to the airport.
If you choose order seafood or fish, take note if the price is by weight or by a set price for the dish. The unwary can be hit with a much larger bill than expected. Also, beware of restaurants telling you that they only have the bigger size lobsters available, as that is what they tell everyone (a common practice at Coco Beach Restaurant and Palm View Restaurant, at Pantai Cenang). When your lobster or crab is served, you will discover that you will definitely be paying for 900g of shell instead of meat! To counter this, order fish, squid and prawns to be safe.
-
Budget
For a taste of simple Malay-style breakfast, just walk up to a small stall opposite the Underwater World in the mornings and feast on the famous freshly-prepared banana leaf-wrapped nasi lemak (steamed rice in coconut milk). The price is most affordable at less than RM 2 for a pack. Go local and enjoy this with a glass of hot teh tarik or really good local coffee. This very unassuming stall is just simple and great (clean too!) The nasi lemak comes with curried beef, squid in chili, friend salted fish or chicken. If you rent a scooter, you should visit and eat in small restaurants next to the (main) roads, e.g., near Lafarge Cement Factory. Food is cheaper and portions usually bigger than near main beaches.
* Small, cosy place for meals and coffee. The chef can whip up great meals - from local dishes to western fast food easily (and in that little cabin of his). Problem is, it can get a bit dusty as it is located fronting the main road. Locals like to come here for good food at reasonable prices.
* Rustic shack. No visible signboard either but ask around and you will find Rafi's. Rafi is a Penangite but has been on the island since 1988 so he considers himself very much local. Ask him for recommendations and he'll happily tell you. Ample parking space in front of his 'shack'. Good ambiance especially early mornings.
* Typical budget Indian food establishment with patrons all day (and night!) long. Very crowded even in the wee hours of the morning. They serve an enormous variety of dishes, from the flavoured roti varieties to naan, briyani and kebabs. The standard is quite high - to an extent where the meal is extremely value-for-money. The only problem is that their waiters are exceedingly bad at taking orders.
* Try this for really authentic Malay food. Their lunch spread is amazing - so amazing that they attract bus loads of Malaysian visitors. Just enjoy the food and leave your cultural baggage and complaints behind as you will be in a totally different ambiance but friendly, nevertheless.
* A really nice little restaurant with Roti and Indian food that is very tasty and cheap. We were incredibly impressed with the food and were over the moon with the price.
* Local seafood restaurant, very reasonable prices, try the tofu. In the morning a different company run a breakfast cafe on the same premises, Nasi Lemak and coffee for RM6.
-
Mid-range
Fancy something different? OMG! Offers a selection of both Local and Western dishes.
* Offers freshly cooked pizzas with both traditional and Malaysian toppings. The satay pizza and sambal pizza are particularly good. You can dine in or takeaway and they also deliver to guesthouses and the beach. Their house specialties: Hungarian Gnoulash and Madam's Fishbake are particularly awesome. Tomato soup is also great.
* Mats are laid out on the sand for guests to sit on and there is a low table with a candle. They also have a live band or playlist that is passed off as a DJ. In contrast to the atmosphere, the staff is quite rude compared to other places.
* Great Balinese decor, rustic with cozy ambiance. Fantastic and fantastic Nasi Lemak. The Western spread is a pleasant surprise. Best omelette in town.
* Offers 1st class Western & Malay dishes in a stylish holiday - beach atmosphere. Superb wine selection, draft beer and German wheat beer (own import) as well as cocktails.

* Moderately wacky fusion food in a fusion setting courtesy of a Dutch-Malaysian couple with an affinity for Africa. Great ambiance - feels like eating in an outdoor garden.
* Great for tasting Roti Canai at breakfast with some very spicy dips as accompaniment, Less than RM5 for 2. Great tasting local coffee and fresh fish too.
* Just up the road from Awana Resort. Great authentic local Chinese seafood restaurant, good food for a reasonable price.
* Floating on the river, part of the amazing scenery of the Kilim Mangrove Forest. They serve the freshest Malay style seafood you will be able to eat on Langkawi island. The traditional dishes of freshly caught fish, prawns, crab, lobster. are famous. Shuttle service from Kilim jetty to the fishfarm restaurant and return is free of charge for lunch and dinner guests (However, if your bill is less than RM50, you have to pay an absurd amount for the shuttle. The logical workaround here is to order the cheapest available item to make the bill RM50) If you book a Mangrove Tour, you will most definitely end up having your lunch here. However, you may want to give their package buffet a pass and try their dishes.
* Your Nasi Campur haunt by day and run-of-the-mill Tom Yam shack by night. 'Ikan Bakar' - Grilled fish and other fresh seafood a'la carte after 3PM. Fresh terubuk (shad) which is unheard off in the mainland! Grab a couple of fist-sized prawns and cuttlefish (squid) cooked Tom Yam style for a gastronomical lesson in local seafood. Their seafood dishes average RM4-4.5 per 100 g, and they can be cooked in a myriad of different styles that will surely suit your tastes. Meat dishes vary from RM6-12.
* Greatest 'ikan bakar' or grilled fish with tantalizing self-made sauce. Also offers a variety of traditional Malay dishes like tomyam and 'ayam masak merah' (chicken cooked in non-spicy sauce).
* A great beach hangout serving western meals and drinks. It comes alive in the evenings.
* Some tables having water views. They have fresh seafood displayed out front. Choose from a wide range of cuisines, including dishes prepared in Malay, Thai, Chinese, and Western styles.
* Good Malaysian food with reasonable prices. Seating available outdoor in courtyard overlooking main road or inside.
* Red Tomato Garden Cafe used to be opposite AB Motel but moved 800 m down the road in May 2011. Now it has become Red Tomato Restaurant and Lounge and has still retained its charm and great dishes.

Gluten free pasta is available. Exceptional tomato soup and fantastic fresh salads. A/C and terrace seating, Free WiFi and a red piano. Lightning service. Owned by a German lady.
* Thai food. Great service.
* A friendly and relaxing restaurant that offers a variety of Western food, Italian food, and Malaysian food. Hot and cold beverages, cappuccino to milkshake, fruit juice, mocktail. If you love fish, try their fillet of barracuda. They are also open for dinner too.
* Huge open sided restaurant, also has an A/C room opposite for hot days. Specialises in Arabic and North Indian dishes all of which are very healthy, very tasty and very cheap. Very popular with locals and with Indian and Arabic holidaymakers. Great place to just sit around for a few hours occasionally ordering another batch of fresh flat breads and dips.
* Though this place looks a little sleepy, they make some great wood-fired pizzas.
* The same kitchen serves an indoor dining area and a large outdoor area across the street. Good good with reasonable prices. Stay and enjoy some of the best hookah/shisha (tobacco water pipe) smoking anywhere. While good, the food is not as great as some Middle Eastern restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.
* Australian barbeque and seafood restaurant in the centre of Pantai Cenang. You can sit on the beach and eat. Reasonable prices.
* Good Indian food (northern and southern). Quiet place to have dinner and chat with friends. You can ask the chef to tone down the chili or spiciness levels.
* Russian fare. Waterside restaurant with tables overlooking the harbor. Managed by Russian expats who serve up the real deal.
* Locals claim that Wonderland serves up the best seafood on Langkawi Island; offering local favorites of traditionally cooked seafood entrees, the chilli crab is especially flavorsome. Service is friendly and prompt and the atmosphere is lovely.

Try Tun's Favourite Breakfast set (2 softboiled eggs, a bowl of mutton curry and thick toasted bread) with coffee and orange juice. Good place to have a leisurely breakfast.
* The only authentic Italian restaurant on Langkawi island. The restaurant offers typical Italian food, good wines and draft beer. The Mediterranean style surrounding is just beautiful and the tables are set up right on the waterfront.
* Indian restaurant that also serves Arabic food.
* Fine dining restaurant that serves great Western food too. If you're a big fan of lamb, you must try their lamb shank. Tender and full of flavours. Its portion is huge too! Good for someone who wants a hearty meal.

Because of Langkawi's tax-free status, alcohol is much cheaper than in the rest of Malaysia. Religious Muslims do not consume alcoholic drinks, and while they do tolerate non Muslims who do, try not to behave in a rowdy imbibed manner near them, their houses, mosques, and please respect local culture and communal sensitivities. For those living on a budget, you can obtain alcohol at cheap prices from the local duty free shops - the larger the outlets, the lower the prices. Expect to pay RM25 for 1L Absolut, RM45 for 1L Kahlua, RM60 for 1L Bailey's, RM57 for Chivas Regal and RM1.20-5 for 330 ml can beer. The cheapest alcohol can be found in the duty free shops next to the aquarium, however grocery stores are only a couple of ringgit more.
Despite low alcohol prices, Langkawi is predominantly popular with couples and families. Single travellers and backpackers may therefore be disappointed with the lack of nightlife. Most bars remain empty, particularly in the low season, and the 1-2 nightclubs may only seem worthwhile in the peak season, and even then only on Friday or Saturday nights. Overall, Langkawi provides a family-friendly alternative to Thai locations such as Phuket and Koh Samui.
* Beach Bar. Beer RM4.
* One of best and lively sports bar in Langkawi.
* Beach Bar. Beer RM4.
* Beach Bar. Beer RM7.
* Open daily, and attracts a good crowd after midnight. House band and DJ. 15 minutes walk from Pantai Cenang. Beer RM10.
* The open-air Jentayu Lounge provides unmatched views of the pool and rainforest canopy, and proves an ideal perch to enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail as our resident four-piece band performs light pop and jazz.
* Panoramic views of Datai Bay provide a spectacular backdrop for the very popular Beach Bar, where guests can be found enjoying pizzas and pastas, or enjoying a cool cocktail while the sun sets over the water and live music plays in the background.

Tip - Don’t trust the various ‘hotel finder' websites, they may mislead you into thinking that most of the places in the area are fully booked. The best way to find out if a place is booked out is to contact them directly by email or phone.

Budget
If you are looking for accommodation, your best bet would be to walk along the beach and adjacent road at Pantai Cenang. Prices there normally range from RM70 to RM145 per room per night, on or next to the beach.
Langkawi does not cater particularly well to single travellers or backpackers; the type of chic backpackers hostels available in Kuala Lumpur and Penang are not to be found here.

Telephone
Mobile phone coverage is very good in all built up areas of Langkawi. Many affordable pre-paid phone and data plans are available. Recharge cards are readily available except for the very cheap TuneTalk which is harder to find and SIM cards almost non existent. It is best to buy this back in LCCT where no commission is charged on the SIM. Full reception and reasonable data speeds can be achieved on the beach and inside the resorts on Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah.
-
Post
The main post office in located in Kuah Town. Mini post offices can be found in Padang Mat Sirat and in the Padi Complex in Pantai Cenang. Courier service, Poslaju shop can be found at Taman Berlian, Kuah.
-
Internet
Broadband is available and many Internet cafés can be found along Pantai Tengah, Pantai Cenang and Kuah. In addition, many of the upscale hotels and resorts provide free wi-fi. Red Tomato Garden Cafe provides free WiFi.

The biggest health risk on Langkawi is from jellyfish stings, especially during January - June season. Uninformed visitors are stung every day and the lifeguards on Pantai Cenang and the hospital treat more or less severe cases of jellyfish stings most days. There are several species of jellyfish in Langkawi's waters, while most will give you a nasty sting or a burn, there are some that will cause partial paralysis or even kill, as in case of the lethal box jellyfish. If you have been stung badly, don't exert yourself physically as this will pump the toxins around the bloodstream and aggravate the symptoms. Vinegar is the only scientifically proven treatment for tropical jellyfish stings, apply it for 30 seconds to block toxin which has not yet been absorbed into the blood. To stay safe, swim only in clothes, preferably stinger suit.
Langkawi can have a lot of mosquitoes depending on the time of year and location (ie Mangrove areas), so don't forget to use mosquito repellent. "Off" spray and various citronella or DEET based products are available in most supermarkets.
Average temperatures are hot or hotter; it's the tropics. Be sure to stay hydrated. You will need to drink about 3 litres a day and don't wait till you are thirsty to drink. Room temprature water preferably. De-hydration accounts for a large percentage of dodgy tummy holiday illnesses.
In case of any problem requiring medical attention, you probably want to go to the Central Langkawi Hospital near Kedah but the waiting hours are long. There is a 24 hour clinic operating in Kuah town called iCARE clinic.
-
Be careful driving around Langkawi at night. Although main roads are well-lit, some of the more minor roads are not very well lit and may pass through Kampungs (traditional Malay villages) or rural areas where the locals seem to take a very casual approach to road safety. Drive slow and watch out for erratically piloted motorbikes, families of monkeys crossing the road, pedestrians and livestock. Inside Kuah Town, watch out for errors in the road arrows - they may lead you into wrong lanes or into barricades. at night, watch out for water buffalo sleeping in the road.
Crime is generally not a problem on Langkawi, especially compared to the larger cities in Malaysia. In theory, you don't even have to lock your car, because it cannot get off the island without customs knowing about it! But better to be safe than sorry.
Beware of smart wild monkeys. Those at Tengkorak beach attack humans who have food. If attacked, pick up stones and pretend to throw them at the monkeys, this will scare them away. Also, do not carry plastic bags as the monkeys associate these with food.
Jellyfish (including the dangerous Box Jellyfish) can be present in the waters during certain times of the year. Stay alert.
Please read up on rip tides ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rip_tide ) before you go; learn to recognise and to avoid them.

Langkawi is a Geopark but still needs to improve its environmental friendliness. Don't participate in certain activities such as eagle feeding and monkey feeding as this harms the animals by encouranging them to become reliant on tourists and you may give them the wrong food.
