Langkawi Dream

The date was 15th june 09. This trip was a smaller vacation for us compared to the usual vacation we always go for every 6 months. We went to MATTA fair last march and found a good deal for this particular trip. We stayed at Berjaya Langkawi Resort and Spa for 3 days 2 nites. The resort is beautiful and huge. We got the jungle chalet further up on the hill. The resort is superb. Except the part where u have to take a shuttle to go everywhere in the resort cause of the size of the resort. We drove up to Kuala Kedah from Kuala Kangsar cause there was a wedding we attended at KK, and took a ferry from Kuala Kedah jetty. The first day we were at the resort we decided to indulge at the spa. they had a promotion on the couples package. We opt for balinese massage and we also get to use the spa facilities for free. So we jumped right in the hot jacuzzi. The Ayura spa is soo secluded and private. It was tucked away deep in the hills of the resort overlooking a gtreat view of the ocean and Mount Machinchang.

the next morning we went to visit Mahsuri's muzeum and musoleum at padang matsirat area...it was an educational visit where we learnt the story of mahsuri's legend. The picture below was taken on the way to the muzeum. U can see mount Machinchang on the background. It's the highest peak in Langkawi. Beautiful innit?









Later we went to the Underwater world located at pantai cenang area. It was fun going there...





this is the first time i witness a fur seal and penguines real life... kinda cool to me...








Later that night, we decided to have dinner at the resort. So we went to Pahn Thai Restaurant at the resort located about 200 metres away from the beach. It is built on stilts and they serve thai cuisine. The ambiance was romantic and very relaxing. Although the wind was quite strong, we didn't mind it at all. The food was great and it was sooo romantic that we didn't want to leave...
