Langkawi - last stop in Malaysia before Thailand. It is a small, laid-back duty-free (read: cheap alcohol ;)) island on the Malay-thai border. The plan was to spend here up to 3 days only, but we somehow got stuck for 6. This fact is quite funny, because it is off season, not many people, raining all the time and even the beaches are not the nicest I've seen. The thing that made this place so special for us was the people (both locals and travelers) that we met here. It was such a great time!
Here are few pictures mainly from the ride around the island. (I'm really sad I did not take my camera for the evenings at our local favorite place - bar made out of few pallets in front of convenient store. I know, it sounds ridiculous, but I wouldn't trade for any other place in the world.)

Langkawi from above. As a local 50yr old rasta surfer/sailor who met Mick Jagger named AC taught us, Langkawi is not 1 island, but consists of more than 100 islands.

Every port needs a pier. Langkawi style.
One of Langkawi's main attraction is this ridiculous square with an eagle at the end. So after Malaysian flag, Ben found another similarity to USA.

So much for Malaysia, we are currently after first 2 days in Thailand and I can already say that I'm quite sure that there is a lot to look forward to. Can't wait...
