Langkawi Information

The Langkawi archipelago consists of more than 100 islands. The main island, Pulau Langkawi, at 480 square kilometres is almost as big as Phuket, but is sparsely populated, unspoilt, with a gentle, rural pace. Still a much smaller yachting centre than Phuket, this beautiful Malaysian island has made great strides in the last half-dozen years. Many sailors opt for its easy tranquility over the heady smorgasbord of its northern neighbour. One of Langkawi\'s chief advantages is that it is a duty-free port, hence imported goods and beer and wine are relatively cheap. If you need an expensive part shipped from abroad, Langkawi is the best destination for this since import duties in Thailand are high.
Langkawi Islands, a group of 104 islands, located in the Northernmost tip of Peninsula Malaysia, offers natural attractions unsurpassed by any other in the region.
Those who loves tropical island holiday and a place far from the maddening crowd will find their heaven in Langkawi Islands. The outstanding natural landscape of The Langkawi Islands proclaims a true tropical paradise.
|Besides its white sandy beaches and limestone hills, its lush vegetation filled with exotic flora and fauna would attract the natural lovers.

Tourist will enjoy the hospitality of the gentle people in their quiet kampung villages. It is also a duty free shopping paradise. It is no doubt one of the best spot where you can shop for lovely handicraft and local products especially those from the fishing village.
It is also the place where the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition held. The world's largest such show that should not be missed.
