Singapore & Malaysia 2023 - Part 8

Arriving On Langkawi

Friday - August 11th 2023

Today we left Singapore and traveled to Langkawi in Malaysia. We got up early, checked out and headed to the monorail station. Back in Sinagpore we took the subway to Changi Airport, where we dropped off our luggage and after we passed security we got delicious croissants from Bacha Coffee and enjoyed iced coffee while waiting for our Air Asia flight to depart. Two hours later around noon we landed at Langkawi International Airport. First we had to go through immigration and then we got a taxi to our hotel.

On Langkawi we stayed at the Pelangi Beach Resort in Pantai Cenang. When we arrived our room wasn't ready yet and so we decided to get a welcome drink at the Beach Bar. Although we had an inflight meal, we were a little bit hungry too and so we ordered flatbread with humous. Afterwards we checked out the hotel area until our room was finally ready. We got a spacious and beautiful room on the second floor in one of the lodges near the main pool and the main building.

After we unpacked, we got into our swimsuits and headed to the beach. First we ordered a bucket full of beer cans and then we just relaxed and enjoyed the warm weather. Of course we went swimming too, not only in the pool but also in the sea. To my surprise the sea was rather warm, but I still prefered the pool. In the evening we got ready to head out into the village to find a hawker market for dinner. We walked along the beach into the town center. There we strolled through the many international chocolate stores until we found the hawker market. At first I was little bit skeptical due to hygiene concerns, but Claudia persuaded me to try at least. I'm really happy I did, becuase the fried rice and the noodles were so good. Afterwards we got some exotic fruits and checked out more shops. On the way back to the hotel we stopped at 7/11 for beer and snacks to enjoy in our room.
