Langkawi - Part one

The Kuala Kedah jetty is rather scenic and on either side fishing boats are moored next to the jetty at the river mouth . It is a breeze away from Alor Setar. 13 minutes to be precise vie the new 4 lanes highway straight from NS highway. The daily parking charge at the jetty is about RM7or more depending whether you want covered carpark


The family trip to Langkawi begins here at Kuala Kedah jetty. You can also take a ferry from Kuala Perlis or Penang. The ride takes less than an hour depending on the water condition. Cost an adult RM18 one way. The seating was a bit cram and phobic........ 4 seats x 2 in a row.

The boat is fully air-conditoned and have video TV entertainment. They were showing Mawi's road to stardom during our ride. He is good.

As you sight the islands of Langkawi the colors of the water starts to turn turquoise blue and green and its so soothing to the eyes. They were upgrading the Kuah jetty. I guess rushing for the Lima 2005 At the far left you see the giant kite the symbol of Langkawi taking flight.................. the 100 years curse of Princess Mahsuri have lifted and a new legend begins................ the Tun's vision
