If you\u2019re planning a long weekend getaway from a\u00a0hectic week,\u00a0Langkawi<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 being the first UNESCO World Geopark in Southeast Asia\u2014 is the natural remedy to open up your heart and relieve your stress. In Langkawi, you will get to explore UNESCO Geoforest Park, its famous duty-free shopping experience, and enjoy\u00a0cuisine from all over Asia, including Thai, Malay, Western and delicious local seafood.<\/span><\/p>\n A direct flight to Langkawi cost less than RM200 via Kuala Lumpur and the flying time is around 1 hour. Isaac and I did a huge mistake<\/i> for visiting during the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (takes place once every two years) by not making\u00a0any car rental booking beforehand. Upon arrival, we saw most of the car rental booths at the airport were closed; it took us hours to get a taxi to check-in to Sunderland Motel<\/a>. I was so stressed at that moment: worried about not being able to rent a car and the entire trip would be ruined. Fortunately, we were able to rent a Kia Picanto at Kuta Square; the rental rate was 3 times higher than the usual \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n Even though we did not start our Langkawi trip in the best way, the rest of the 3D2N trip was enjoyable.<\/p>\n Our stay in Sunderland Motel<\/a>\u00a0was very pleasant, the bed was very clean and spacious; the ambience is quite too. Kuah Night Market (open every Wednesday and Saturday) is just 2 mins away from the Motel. Taxi stand could be found just right at the front door and a duty-free store is just right next door. It is a decent motel for a traveller who wanted a place to sleep at a great location and most importantly, cheap.<\/p>\n \u00a0Without further ado, here is our ultimate guide on the things to do in Langkawi.<\/p>\n Island Hopping is one of the most popular and cheapest activities to do in Langkawi. We booked a 4-hour Island Hopping tour package<\/a> that visits 3 southern islets of Langkawi. I was told that water sports equipment could be rented or given at the island and food & drinks were excluded in the package, so we only brought extra clothes, towels, snacks and water.<\/p>\nGetting to Langkawi<\/h3>\n
