Andaman, Langkawi

So there I was
looking all so beach-y
with cool shades on
'cos I was in Andaman, Langkawi baby!
It was the best getaway/pre-honeymoon
so far

The acclaimed Andaman hotel nestles high up on a hill
with tropical rainforest surrounding it
And the beach is just steps away from your room
How cool's that?

It's a 5-star hotel so you can expect top-notch services

You get to have DVD player in your room
DVDs are hotel complimentary
But don't expect to get Transformers 2
At least they have Jurassic Park 2

Oh, monkeys of different species are at your reach
They love to hang out at the parking areas
Just sightseeing, you know
And play like monkeys do!

The lobby is so serene and spacious
There's a lounge
There's a band in the evening
Playing beautiful tunes

There's a souvenir shop
which sells beautiful, high quality items
Hats, keychains, necklaces, dresses
But whoa, the prices are as 'good' too!

Our room overlooked the jungle
But we never opened the windows
'cos we were afraid hairy visitors with long arms
might get into the room
and make a mess!



The room was wonderful!
The deco was simple and nice
There's so much space
you can invite a large group of party animals
to shake their 'whatevers'


On the way up to the hotel
Saw a few bird watchers with their binoculars
dangling around their necks

If you're a nature lover
There's a nature guide
if you concern for your safety
There's morning and night tour

I won't say the beach is all that clean and
beautiful
but it's nice to flip-flap your way
along the white sandy beach

Or you can just go for a dip in the large hotel pool!
The hotel has one
no worries
but I didn't get the chance to have a swim
for I was busy exploring the nature
and Langkawi

If you're in Langkawi
make sure you don't miss out
this place
BARN THAI


This Thai restaurant
is set in the heart of a huge mangrove
and is said to be the first in the world
to have this concept

Now, the trail to the restaurant
is made of wooden planks
So if it pours when you're there
Be careful of your steps
It can be very slippery

You know what's amazing?  
I saw two woodpeckers at the mangrove
The first time ever
That's why I can never forget Barn Thai
because I love Woody Woodpecker cartoon! (this is random)

It's very easy to get around "the Jewel of Kedah"
Rent a car!
Grab a map
You won't get lost
It's a small island :)
But we found out that it wasn't 'that' small after all
after a few rounds of driving

Btw, we rented a Nissan Sentra for 3D/2N for RM300 (for your info)

I heard that there's a more spectacular hotel located in nearby area
called the DATAI Langkawi
The price is, of course, higher than what you pay for a
Andaman room
