I've joined a day tour to Marine Park and play snorkelling there, it was interesting that I can swim with many fishes and little sharks. Moreover, I went to Coco Beach resturant for dinner, food is ok and price is acceptable (a little bit expensive in local cost of living) but you can see local dance performance and very very beautiful sunset there.

For us the primary attractions of Langkawi are its beaches and its virgin rainforest. You can get a dramatic view of the rainforest from a new cable car that takes you to one of the island's mountain peaks. It's not for the faint-hearted, but its Swiss construction gave us some reassurance! We saw some beautiful birds of prey soaring from the peak. Our family also enjoyed the Telaga Tujuh "Seven Wells" waterfall - like a large water-slide.
I fear that Malaysia will overdevelop the island insensitively as they have done elsewhere, and its natural beauty will be compromised in the pursuit of tourism. Enjoy it while it lasts!

There is lots to do on Langkawi if you choose or you can just lay in the sun for a week or so and chill out.

I was working in a local school (MRSM Langkawi) and the hotel is very convenient for this. I also visited the shopping facilities and hawker stalls in Kuah.

Langkawi airport is painless. The clean modern taxi services are price regulated and reasonable. One annoying feature is the universally poor service in most tourist shops. The staff speak little English, appear to be barely trained and lack interest in what they are doing. They often play loud, local music to entertain themselves. Clearly, the managers are to blame for this. Please follow my example and COMPLAIN TO THE MANAGERS. It helps.
We ate one evening at BARN THAI Restaurant. an isolated, mangrove surrounded ecology centre, that appears to be trying to stay viable. The authentic Thai food, surroundings and service were excellent, if not a little pricy. The free mini bus shuttle service seems to be necessary to keep the place supplied with customers. We all enjoyed the experience and I would go back.
East Marine run all-inclusive day trips on large boats to a snorkelling/diving site on offshore islands. The diving was reasonably good with lots of fish to be seen. The experienced snorkellers in our group found it very rich in fish and have the pictures to prove it! Parrotfish, Butterfly and Angelfish, Surgeonfish and all the usual suspects. An unusual feature is the hand-feeding of baby Blacktip sharks in beach shallows. The large jellyfish were easily spotted. Underwater world has a fine collection of fish species, including the 2 species of the Australian Dragonfish. Don't miss that tank! Shopping next door was only OK.

Stayed at Holiday Villa Langkawi - Langkawi, Malaysia.

Langkawi is a popular Malaysian destination, however we didn't find it neither extraordinarily beautiful nor very structured for tourism. There is a lot of building going on on the main island and the overall aspect will probably change in the years to come.
What made it a nice holiday for us is the fact that people were very nice everywhere we went, they really made you feel welcome.

We took the Mangrove Adventure tour which was well worth giving up a morning on the beach for. Otherwise the beach won through each day.
