Langkawi Family Trip (Basic Information)

Going to Langkawi Island for a 3 days 2 nights trip with family

departed from Kuala Kedah Jetty to Kuah Jetty

Boat fare: RM23/ person (one way)

if you were to leave your car at jetty, please go early and try to search for a parking near the jetty 

there will have some people that request you with school parking but the price is a bit high, around RM35/day

Going from Kuala Kedah to Langkawi needed 1 hour and 45 minutes, prepare some candy if necessary
plastic bag is available in the boat for vomit purpose

My advice: Do not book any trip or cars while waiting for your boat, the people there will always tell you, you will not get the car in Langkawi if you didn't make booking there, DON'T GET FOOLED, you can always get to book the car in Kuah

Reached Langkawi and finding a car for rent
compared a few company (Must compare!! some cars are just over priced and must ask clearly about the rental charged, some car charge by hours, 24 hours consider a day, if you travel 3 days 2 nights, reached Langkawi by 12pm then you just need to pay for 2 days/48 hours and return the car before 1pm on the 3rd day, do not exceed the time because it charged RM10/hour for extra)
We got a Nissan Sentra for RM135/24hours，rented for 48 hours
when we got the car, the car has very little petrol and the nearest petrol station is 5 minutes away
easy to find with map, map is free of charge but becareful with the version, get the latest version
Car Rental: RM135/24hours+RM100 deposit

Place to stay was book in advance using Asiaroom website
I choosed a motel near Cenang Beach, Cenang Beach is the most happening beach
there have everything you need, if you are not interested with cable car and drive around Langkawi
you can take a cab to Cenang Beach (cost around RM20/way)
I booked Adlina Drive-in Motel, the motel did surprised me
it is clean and basic facilities were ok (just the TV is small, but we don't need TV)
it is like a chalet type, with 2 queen size beds
Adlina Drive-in Motel: RM110/ night

***** If you were to buy liquor, PLEASE keep the boat or flight tickets on the day you arrived
For 3 days 2 nights, each person could bring 1L of liquor and 2 rows of cigarette out from Langkawi
tickets is a prove in case of Kastam checking

***** I would suggest you all to buy the liquor and chocolates at The Zon and Coco Valley in Cenang Beach and not Kuah, because the price is different, HUGE DIFFERENT!!! especially DO NOT BUY at Jetty!!!!!!!!!!!
