Getting to Langkawi

After driving over 200km up north in the wee hours of the morning, I finally got to the Kuala Perlis Jetty. 5 minutes late for the 8.00a.m. ferry. So had to wait for another hour to get to Langkawi. Yeah, that's how packed the waiting area was.


Seriously, the picture does not do justice to the actual condition of the ferry. It's A LOT WORSE!!! RM15 for a 70-minute ride in the rough seas. Maxis thought I left for Thailand. "Maxis wishes you an enjoyable trip in Thailand. Enjoy better rates... blablabla..."

The view from the Langkawi jetty. SO MANY PEOPLE WOI!!! (not in this shot la)

Honestly, I was surprised to find a Starbucks outlet in Kuah. So chic already? Only saw tourists inside the joint though. I totally had to snap this shot. The whole jetty mall looks high end like some airport, y'know?

The hotel I stayed at, Holiday Villa Resort Langkawi. Pricey and homey.
