This is Kedah, the oldest existing kingdom in Southeast Asia.

Now Kedah invites the world to discover all her treasures from unique flora and fauna to delicious dishes, from diverse experiences in local markets and museums to the coolest waterfalls and even crazy outdoor adventures.

The Langkawi islands of Kedah almost need no introduction as they’re already a worldwide attraction. An archipelago of 99 verdant islands in the sparkling Andaman Sea at the north of the Melaka Straits, the main island is a melange of quiet Malay villages, picturesque paddy fields and jungle-clad hills. Legends and history fill these isles, from ancient giants to the curse of a wronged maiden Mahsuri that ended only in the 1980s after seven generations. Whether you’re looking for geological nature worth millions of years to outdoor adventures, or duty-free shopping to cultural ventures, Langkawi truly has it all.

AIR HANGAT VILLAGE

This is truly a unique hot spring as it is salt water, not fresh water and this kind of natural salt water hot spring can be found in only three other countries in the world. The main attraction here is the three-tiered hot spring wells and jacuzzis amidst landscaped gardens, plus foot reflexology and a host of other cultural activities such as Malay dance, batik painting, kickboxing etc. A restaurant on-site serves great Malay-Asian cuisine.

Billed as the birthplace of Langkawi’s own local handmade batik founded by a Malaysian artist and a batik designer, this cultural centre is a treasure trove of arts and culture with a batik workshop, showroom and art gallery. Offering good quality yet affordable local handicraft products, Atma Alam also provides hands-on craft opportunities in batik-painting and getting to know the traditional Malaysian batik-making process.

ATMA ALAM BATIK ART VILLAGE

LAKE OF THE PREGNANT MAIDENMalay legend has it that princess Mambang Sari and her husband Mat Teja lost their son, so they came to the lake to mourn, where she blessed the waters so that couples having difficulty conceiving should try swimming here. The lovely lake is cloistered on an island of the same name, Dayang Bunting in Malay, south of Langkawi proper and easily reached by boat or even jetski. Besides swimming, there’s kayaking and boating, a foot-dipping fish pond and a lakeside jungle boardwalk down to the ‘Miracle Border’, a thin strip of rocky land that miraculously separates seawater from the freshwater lake.

Langkawi is home to one of the best handcrafted glass artwork studios in Southeast Asia. Established in 2002, the studio’s local artists under Mr. Faizy’s direction create stunningly delicate and colourful crystal products entirely by hand. Watch the process where air is blown into a molten piece of glass to create a bubble that craftsmen mould into imaginative shapes in a time-consuming process at a furnace so hot of up to 1,400°C. But each beautiful one-off art piece in the showroom is worth all the effort.

FAIZY CRYSTAL GLASS BLOWING STUDIO

LANGKAWI CRAFT COMPLEX

LANGKAWI CROCODILE FARM

A popular place of interest in Langkawi, Kompleks Kraf is a one-stop centre that offers a variety of authentic craft products such as batik and hand-woven textiles, carvings, metallic crafts and much more. There are also many interesting activities including craft demonstrations, educational workshops, cultural performances and guided tours. Its attractive architecture and landscaping also make Langkawi Craft Complex a must-go destination.

Probably Langkawi’s single most recognisable symbol and a must-visit, Dataran Lang is the iconic landmark on the Kuah town waterfront visible from ferries plying in and out of the harbour. Reflecting the island’s name from the old Malay ‘lang’ for eagle and ‘kawi’ for reddish brown, the large 12m high sculpture of a reddish brown eagle about-to-fly dominates the surroundings of landscaped ponds, fountains, shops and pavilions, and even beyond. The bare floor may get a bit hot at the height of day so come in the cool breezy morning or evening, while at night the eagle and its environs are gorgeously lit up.

Learn all about tropical crocodiles in Malaysia’s largest crocodile farm. Sprawling over 10 acres in a specially designed and beautifully landscaped zoological recreation park, Taman Buaya Langkawi hosts almost 1000 crocs of various species in dedicated ponds that mimic their natural environment. Visitors also get to witness live shows, crocodile feeding and at the research and development centre even the process of egg collection, incubation, rearing of hatchlings, animal husbandry and conservation measures.

EAGLE SQUARE

In October 1989 a working retreat for the ‘Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting’ was held in Langkawi and this park commemorates the event. Delegates from all participating countries planted trees in the park and each is marked in this now lush, tree-filled garden with a man-made beach for great sunset views. Conveniently located in Kuah town beside Al-Hana Mosque, the Langkawi Fair Mall is also within walking distance for facilities and eateries.

LANGKAWI NATURE PARK (KILIM GEOFOREST PARK)

GALERIA PERDANA

FIELD OF BURNT RICE

This historic field marks the site of a true event in 1821. Mass rice burning was conducted by Padang Matsirat’s villagers who scorched their rice paddy in an effort to stop them from falling into the hands of Siamese invaders who took over the island. Take time to reflect on the sacrifice of the locals and see the conserved area where the ‘Beras Terbakar’ or ‘burnt rice’ happened. Apparently, heavy rain sometimes raises evidence of burnt grains to the surface. Souvenir stalls and surrounding village paddy field views add to the attraction.

An interesting gallery housed in attractive Malay-modern hybrid architecture, this museum showcases over 2,500 presents, awards and significant items received over 20 years by Malaysia’s Prime Minster Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and his family. The displays cover an astoundingly diverse collection of every imaginable gift from world governments, corporations and others; some of extremely high value so it is great to actually see rather than just read about these objects. It’s also great that they’re for public view rather than stored out of sight.

A marvelous nature park within a bigger geoforest; that’s Langkawi Nature Park, a strategic enclave of Kilim Geoforest Park that in turn is within Langkawi Geopark and one of the best ecotourism spots in Southeast Asia. Enjoy boat rides to view the geoforest environment and experience walking on an 800m-long boardwalk through a natural dense mangrove jungle. Several species of birds fly freely in the aviary, and some of the birds and mammals will be led out for a close encounter with visitors during the animal show at a specially designed arena.

ORIENTAL VILLAGE

Known in Malay as Taman Lagenda or literally ‘Park of Legends’, this thoughtfully themed parkland covering 20 hectares showcases Langkawi’s legends, myths and folklore from prehistory to historic events of more modern times. Established in 1996 next to Eagle Square in Kuah, the park lets visitors enjoy landscaped gardens while learning about various stories that are

LAGENDAPARK

intertwined with many of Langkawi’s other attractions. such as the battle between two giants over a wedding argument who later turned into mounts Mat Chinchang and Gunung Raya, and the beautiful Mahsuri who was falsely charged with adultery and executed in the 1800s, or the story of the great birds, the ogres and more -17 stories in all.

Lifestyle, especially tropical and oriental, is what this attractive village is all about. The whole village setting is laid out as a lifestyle themed neighbourhood in mixed Malay-Sino-Japanese architecture, centred around a large landscaped lake amidst a green hilly backdrop. A good variety of specialty shops, stalls and eateries vie for your attention with surprisingly diverse offerings from unique souvenirs to universal cuisines, and even a cute hotel. Oriental Village is also the starting point for the Langkawi Cable Car, amphibious Duck Tour plus animal attractions and much more, so it’s worth allocating a day for the entire village complex.

BUFFALO PARK LANGKAWI Kerbau or ‘water buffalo’ were once common in Malaysian villages, used as ploughing animals in rice fields. With mechanisation they are now rare, which makes Buffalo Park very valuable in not just preserving local buffalo species but also in continuing a traditional socio-historic legacy. If you love nature and learning about animal husbandry amidst green mountain backdrops, wide fields and of course, buffaloes, then don’t miss coming here. It was opened in 2006 when local farmers pooled their paddy lands to create this dairy farm, where today over 100 buffaloes produce all kinds of products from milk to Mozzarella cheese, yoghurt, ice cream, meat and organic fertiliser. There are also buffalo rides and tasty buffalo steak in the on-site restaurant.

RICE MUSEUM (LAMAN PADI)

“Padi” is the Malay word that gives the English ‘rice paddy’ and “laman” is garden or compound, so ‘Laman Padi’ is like a rice garden complete with buffaloes that serve as a great backdrop for this rice museum. Almost everything here, outdoor and indoor, is very educational and it’s best to use the available guides to explain all that you see. This includes the various fields of rice in different growing stages and the excellent museum of the history and process of rice cultivation. You can even request to try your hand at rice planting. There’s also a herbal garden with spa and nice restaurants.

Much of modern Langkawi is tied to the legend of Mahsuri, the beautiful maiden who lived on the island about 200 years ago. She was falsely charged with adultery and upon her execution she bled white blood, a sign of innocence, and cursed the island for seven generations. The Siamese invaded soon after and Langkawi wilted. Indeed it was only in the 1980s after seven generations that the islands prospered again as it does today. This multi-faceted cultural centre revolves around Mahsuri’s tomb site, with traditional Malay houses, a museum complex telling the story and much more.

MAKAM MAHSURI (MAHSURI’S TOMB & CULTURAL CENTRE)

As Malaysia’s premier international karting centre, this is where you get your adrenaline rush on the 1.5km world standard karting track. Drivers’ lap times are precisely recorded and sent straight to participants’ smartphones to compare your rank against other drivers. The Park is professionally operated and conforms to the sport’s global safety standards. If your lap timing is truly exceptional, you may even compete for a chance to race at the Sodi world series. Hot Laps, the appropriately named restaurant on-site offers local and international dishes plus a full service bar to quench those racing thirsts.

LANGKAWI WILDLIFE PARK This pleasant family-activity destination first opened in 2002 as Langkawi Bird Paradise with many avian species. Over the years many more other animal types were added especially mammals and reptiles, and it was renamed Langkawi Wildlife Park in 2006. Now there are colourful birds, cute mammals, scary reptiles and even exotic orchids. While many of the animals are of the ‘less-dangerous’ kind, they are nonetheless amazing and from all over the world with much ‘close encounter’, photo-taking and even feeding opportunities, plus there are excellent guides; all of which make the place perfect for kids. It is also fully covered, thus rain or shine you can enjoy an entire visit. Note the schedule to experience specific events and feeding times.

One of the most thrilling and unforgettable cable car rides, and indeed the steepest, in the world is right here. The ride up mount Machinchang from Oriental Village takes you to a height of 708m in almost 15 minutes and gives breathtaking views of the mountains, valleys, the Andaman Sea and islands all

LANGKAWI CABLE CAR

the way to Thailand on a clear day. There are viewing platforms and pleasant side activities at the top but the grand highlight is Langkawi Skybridge, a spectacular curved single-pylon suspension bridge and one of the greatest feats of engineering.

ROYAL LANGKAWI YACHT CLUB

For yacht and premium boat owners the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club is no stranger, being Malaysia’s only award-winning marina with the best facilities and luxuries. Located on the ocean-side southeast corner of Langkawi, the 250-berth marina accommodates up to 90m-long mega-yachts. Kuah town centre is just 2km or

a few minutes drive away for convenient access to duty-free shops, banks and other urban amenities. There’s also the excellent Royal Langkawi Yacht Club Hotel as well as Fisherman’s Wharf alongside. The famous Royal Langkawi International Regatta has its home base here.

Kedah Cuisine and a Cuppa

While Kedah shares staple food ingredients such as rice and noodles with the region, there are recipes so original to the

state until it bears its name. Laksa Kedah is one such must-try, a fish-based soupy rice noodle dish. For a local

cuppa, try our local coffees such as ‘kopi Kedah’ and ‘kopi Cap Gantang’ and you won’t go wrong.

Sure, you can explore Langkawi on your own with guide books, websites and social media but in many cases there are hidden gems that package tours make much easier to find. Packages can also be wide-ranging starting from short visits for particular places or activities, to half day or full day themed itineraries, to multi-experience overnight package tours with accommodation.

Feel free to contact any of them for enquiries and even customisation.

AccommodationNight View of Resort Exterior

Some of the world’s best resorts and friendliest homestays can be found in

Kedah. Saying ‘spoilt for choice’ here is an understatement. Choose from a diversity of

accommodation ranging from luxury pads and international value hotels to serviced

apartments and simple, clean guesthouses.

Accommodation in Langkawi is more diverse and welcoming than one may think, ranging from established hotel chains to budget local inns to friendly village homestays. Just take your pick and pick your days.

The Malay Language or Bahasa Melayu is a relatively easy language to learn and speak. Pronunciation generally follows the spelling, with “sy” in Malay pronounced as the “sh” sound in English. The only slight uncertainty being “e” which can be pronounced either like the ‘her’ or ‘hey’ sound but generally

you will still be understood even if it is mixed up.
