    Some lovely beaches SL - especially Datai Beach looks really cool! And I'd definitely go snorkeling at Pulau Payer Marine Park :)

    Hiya SL, good tips on Langkawi. Tg. Rhu underwater current is unpredictable and had contributed to countless near-drown & drown cases. Good laksa in Langkawi? Haven't found as good as in Penang but the one at the Kuala Perlis is not bad either.

    Those beaches look and sound fantastic! It's a shame about the dangerous currents at Tanjung Rhu.
