    Langkawi actually gets more visitors than most resort island in the Philippines and Indonesia. Its only gets less visitors compared to Thailand. So its one of the top 5 vacation spots in Asia currently.

    _Terima kasih_ Thanks for visiting malaysia all the way from brighton 👍 Glad you had a good enjoyable time in langkawi despite one or two glitches Your trip was back during _puasa/raya_ (ramadhan/aidilfitri) and it's now another _raya_ celebration ie. _raya haji_ (aidil adha) in conjunction with the hajj in mecca (in malaysia _raya haji_ is celebrated on thursday while here in the UK muslims celebrate it a day earlier tomorrow!) If you do come again to malaysia towards the end of the year, note that it'll be the rainy season, and when malaysians say it's raining, we mean it _really_ rains! 😂 What you have here in the UK (that I have experienced so far at least) are mostly what we say _hujan renyai_ (drizzles), mostly light drizzles and some heavier drizzles, plus only two or three times of medium heavy rain. In malaysia when it rains you won't see pigs in the sky, but you'd get cats and dogs! 😂 Plus roaring thunder and flashing lightning! So year end, not advisable for you to travel on a motorcycle, not advisable to go to the islands or to take boats, and not advisable for mountain trekking and big waterfalls. But KL has plenty of big shopping malls, not only for shopping, but also for variety of affordable tasty food including at the food courts, for cinemas and bowling, for ig spots/moments, for decor and live performances (cultural etc) sometimes, for aquaria in klcc, for ice skating in sunway pyramid, or even for some roller coaster rides in berjaya times square. If you need simple raincoats they have cheap ponchos in daiso (the japanese shop where each item is only about 6 ringgit) and if you're not too rough on them they'll last your whole trip

    The sound of clicking noise you heard in the jungle is not Sakuras, it called Cicadas. Not sure Sakuras is, what we know Sakura is flowers blossoming during Spring time particularly in Japan. 😅 and the birds you heard is Hornbill , another native bird in Langkawi other than the famous Red Eagles where the Langkawi name is origin from. 'Lang' or 'Helang' is Malay language for Eagle, and Kawi is Pyrolusite or wire stone which is red in colour.

    The waterfall is called Telaga Tujuh(seven waterfalls). On top of the waterfall there's a secluded spot the small beautiful lagoon. If you really love tropical islands do visit the islands on the east coast like Pulau Perhentian, Tioman with beautiful clear crystal water 🏝* the end of the year (Nov-Feb) is monsoon raining season in Malaysia 🌧

    Really enjoying watching your videos whilst on the search for our Honeymoon Destinations this August! Although, could do with your advice! We're English and Initially wanted to do Singapore, Bali and Langkawi multi centre - but seems this might be too much indirect flying for us for a Honeymoon! So would you choose Langkawi or Bali for Honeymoon if you had to choose? What has more romantic vibes, what's cleaner, friendlier, better private excursions etc? Fiance bit worried Bali is more for when we go travelling, back-packery everywhere? Thanks so much!

    though it's true that the end of Ramadhan is usually the busiest time for most Malaysian because of the Eid celebration, but the holiday is usually spent with family and friends. it's like Thanksgiving for Americans, but a lot more cultural, definitely (no offence lol).

    I am from Malaysia, the Malaysia Government and Malaysia Royal Police work closely with Myanmar Military / Junta that are killing everyone in Myanmar. Malaysian government is helping people kidnap innocent people and torturing them until they die. Please help raise awareness, google Malaysia abductions and youll see that these cases go cold because the Malaysian police are doing these crimes. This month a woman, her husband, and three CHILDREN have been missing for 4 weeks!! I dont know her but this has raised many questions in my city and everyone wants to leave Malaysia. Please do your research before coming here, foreigners are targets in Malaysia and its sad because soon nobody will come to our country!
