Sireh cave COMPLEX

Located at baling Kedah the cave has spectacular and amazing view. One of the underrated caves in Malaysia. The local village guide was friendly and informative. There are several spot to take pictures inside the caves with colourful spot light. It take about 1-2hrs to explore the multi tiered connecting cave. I think local and state government should takes initiative to improve facilities. #caves #travelmalaysia

Ambong Ambong is a quiet, four-pearl resort hotel that attracts travelers from around the world. The lobby is housed in a simple stand-alone building up a flight of stairs, and features dark-wood floors, a few red Chinese lanterns, and big windows that let in lots of natural light filtered through the property's abundant jungle greenery. A small bar sits off to one side and there are a couple of casual seating ares with low chairs and coffee tables for guests to hang out. Navigating the hilly resort might prove difficult for travelers with compromised mobility (although a driver is available for those who need help getting around). Children under 12 are not allowed, and most of the guests here are vacationing couples. #createwithtrip

The Bon Ton Resort has just eight stand-alone wooden villas amid lush grounds that include a lotus lagoon, making it feel private and a bit like a residence. The hotel doubles as an animal sanctuary, so there will be cats and dogs roaming the grounds, which is just another way the place feels like home. Couples are attracted to the charm and romantic ambience of the place, plus the 100-year-old rooms are filled with rustic yet stylish furnishings. This chic design also carries over into the restaurant, bars, and common areas. Guests can expect lots of open-air, wood-beam structures, colorful rugs and throw pillows, hand-carved benches, and decorative sculptures and floor vases. #createwithtrip

The Holiday Villa Beach Resort & Spa attracts even numbers of families and couples with an excellent location and plenty of amenities on-site. The hotel is largely dated throughout, with some well-worn furnishings, though some locally inspired accents add charm. The busy lobby has hand-carved couches, colorful stained glass, red, patterned area rugs, and dangling ivy. Quirky touches include a giant chess board, dozens of tiny Malaysian flags, and a water fountain topped with a fish. Restaurants and bars have varying style, from charming red-checkered tablecloths and brick walls in Lagenda Coffee House, to bright green and orange retro chairs in the Matahari Lounge. Travelers more interested in the gorgeous beach and pretty pools are likely fine to overlook the outdated design, but it's worth noting that some guests have reported unpleasant smells in various public areas and rooms. #createwithtrip

The Tanjung Rhu Resort is a stand-out property for its sleek, contemporary design and stunning setting along a wide stretch of beach with views of the Andaman Sea. Since the hotel is well-removed from the town center and surrounded by lush grounds, most guests are seeking a quiet place to relax. There are still ample facilities to keep guests occupied, however, from the three impressive swimming pools and spa, to the water sports and dining venues. The contemporary design consists primarily of neutral tones, with lots of wood, open-air structures, and chic white-cushioned seating. There are numerous spots to lounge or walk among the lily ponds and palm trees. The resort is undergoing renovations to some areas -- certain room categories, the kids' club, and Rhu Restaurant -- but they're scheduled to be finished in 2017 and guests report that it doesn't disturb their stay. #createwithtrip

The Adya Hotel Langkawi opened in January 2015, which means all areas are contemporary and more furnishings are in good condition -- though there's some minor wear. Though the Adya is an Islamic concept, guests are both Muslim and non-Muslim, and split evenly between couples and families. The design throughout consists of primarily neutral-tone decor, with occasionally pops of yellow, orange, and red. Keeping with the theme, the hotel has a mosque-like pointed-archway entrance, while the grand lobby features lots of metal cutouts, floor-to-ceiling glass, and clusters of burnt-orange armchairs. More notable, however, are the stunning views of Kuah town and the Strait Of Malacca from rooms and the two outdoor pools with attractive mosaic tiling. Given that there's no alcohol served on-site, the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful. #createwithtrip

On the beachfront in the heart of Pantai Cenang sits the Mediterranean-style, two-story, terra-cotta roof tiled Casa del Mar, Spanish for "home by the sea." An arched wooden doorway leads to the charming lobby, which has a warm and inviting ambience, enhanced by its pitched wooden ceilings and ceramic-tile floors. The grounds have a Mediterranean vibe, with pathways that cut through tropical landscaping and suites with Spanish-style balconies and intricate ironwork on patio gates. At the back of the property, guests have direct access to a beautiful stretch of sand. The homey, intimate atmosphere and central location attract mostly couples and solo travelers. #createwithtrip

Couples drive Langkawi, round the island to pursue the sweet wind ~ Langkawi's entire island is not large, support tourists to rent a car, so self-driving has always been a popular item here. In the country, you can first get on the rental platform for free to redeem your international driver's license. You can travel by car to Langkawi. You can start exploring Xintiandi with just one or two maps. Actually, the trip to Langkawi is also very meaningful for us. It is full of wedding dresses and chooses the sweetness and romance of our wedding under the Lancaway Memorial. For wedding photography, this is the best choice. There will be unexpected scenery waiting for us to discover. The lighthouse behind us and the beach where Anna and King are photographed are all the sights that we have encountered. This Amway sweet couple or newlyweds are suitable for ~

The BEJAYA Hotel is also a famous resort hotel in Langkawi. It is similar to the Balinese-style hotel lobby. Listening to the sound of the waves, watching the sun and the sunrise, blowing the sea breeze on the beach, you can satisfy your vacation life. Everything is imagined. The cabins built on the sea follow the Maldivian style. Of course, the bay here is not the same. Fortunately, the entire bay is very private and calm, and it is absolutely suitable for you to feel the romantic life of Malay Island quietly. Looking at the sea and the sky for breakfast and a moment of tranquility, perhaps this is one of the reasons why lovers are willing to choose here as a holiday destination. At this point we have begun to love Malay life.

Sky Bridge Sky Bridge Langkawi Sky Bridge Skybridge, located in the Langkawi Islands of Malaysia, was built in October 2004 and has a total length of 125 meters. The bridge is arc-shaped and the main body is made of steel. . What is particularly surprising is that such a large and heavy "steel frame" is actually supported by only one pillar. The pillar is 87 meters high, fixed on the mountainside, and then pulled by 8 steel cables. In this way, it was finally "hanged" at an altitude of 687 meters above sea level, connecting two hills, which is certainly the reason for its name as the bridge of the sky. What everyone should pay attention to is that the opening time of the bridge is 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so if you go up the mountain after 5 o'clock, there is no chance to walk on the bridge yourself. . The landlord is one of the poor ones. . I have to wait and see. But the distance is already very shocking! !

Enjoy the sunshine and beaches of Langkawi at Langkawi Ocean Resort. The lobby is connected to the resort's office and it is easy to see them working. There are 2 employees who receive us, and the left side is the little fat man mentioned in the previous article. You will need to show your ID upon check-in and pay MYR 50 as a deposit. Remember to take the deposit receipt and don't lose it. The infinity pool is arguably the hotel's nirvana, and it is estimated that everyone will fall in love with it. The red house in front is an independent villa that can accommodate many people. The pool has a place to rinse. The stairs on the left are private beaches, but the sea is not very clean. I won't go anyway. The style of the hotel restaurant is relatively simple, the breakfast is self-service type, the variety is not very rich, and the products are generally available. Traffic Raiders: Langkawi's public transportation is not doing well, although the resort is located in the Guazhen business district, but there is still a distance from the city center, there is no shopping mall nearby, if you walk to Gua Town Night Market, you need 30 Minutes, but the resort is outside the main road. It is not safe to walk. Therefore, you must take a taxi to get in and out. The front desk of the hotel can help you to call the car. The second time you pick us up is the same business car. It is estimated that it is the hotel's own car. Its more expensive to compare outside, such as 24 MYR for the hotel to Gua Town Night Market or Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall, but only 16 MYR for a taxi on the return trip, about 10 minutes for a one-way trip; from Jinan Beach to the hotel It costs 30 MYR and takes 30 minutes to drive.

Breezy and Chilling Beach in Kedah

#travelanywhere 📍Pantai Merdeka, Kedah Visited this chilling and breezy beach that is located in Kedah while travelling there. This place is the only Sandy beach in the mainland of Kedah, thus it is quite popular among the locals. There were crowds taking photos and playing at the kids playground during our visit. It’s a restful and serene place to relax and enjoy the sea view. Would recommend to visit during evening as it is less warm and might have the chance to catch sunsets! There is also a food court there with multiple food stalls selling local delicacies. Cozy place for a picnic day and to unwind after a long week.

All Top Places in Alor Setar

Yesterday I had a trip to Alor Star. The first thing that caught my eye was the famous Alor Star Tower, which was visible from the highway and made me curious to get to the city earlier to see it up close. The interior of Alor Star was very different from the cities I have seen in Malaysia so far (Penang, Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, etc.). When I arrived at the famous passage, I saw Alor Star Tower in front of me, which was very beautiful and magnificent. For 35 ringgit, you can go to the top of the tower and see the whole city, from the river to the rice fields and historical buildings. When I came down from the tower, I started walking through the main street to explore the city closely. After a 20-minute walk, I reached the historical monuments of Alor Star, which were very beautiful and demonstrated the important impact Alor Star had on Malaysian politics. In my opinion, the most important city that influenced the history of Malaysia was Alor Star (of course, this is my general opinion based on my limited studies). I did not find any famous food that is unique to Alor Star 😁. Overall, it was a beautiful city and I really enjoyed seeing it. #kedah #alorstar #alorstarkedah #malaysia #malaysian #mahathir
