| Langkawi, Malaysia |
We arrived in the morning to stunning views of the limestone karst islands.
The nearby resort hotel and shops attracted a lot of guests.
Langkawi is a tropical archipelago of 99 islands in northwest Malaysia, known for its mix of beaches, rainforest, and dramatic limestone landscapes. It’s often called the “Jewel of Kedah”, and it blends natural beauty with a relaxed, resort friendly atmosphere.
I couldn’t seem to get enough photos of the captivating harbour scenes.
Money
The currency in Langkawi—and all of Malaysia—is the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), often written as RM. We found that credit cards were widely accepted but we did get some Ringgits for small purchases. In 2026 the exchange rate was approximately 4 RM to 1 USD.
Language
We found a lot of people spoke at least basic English. Malaysia's population included Malay, Chinese, and Indian groups.
