Budget holiday in Langkawi :)

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful :)

One day and a half in Langkawi, Alhamdulillah it was great and fun :) We forced ourselves to go there in June 2011 simply because it was my final week in Jitra. Orang kata, rugilah kalau dah duduk Kedah tapi tak pergi Langkawi. Jadi kami pun pergilah for a very short stay. We were on a very limited budget.

BUDGET HOLIDAY in Langkawi for 2 persons for one day and a half : RM400

Petrol from Jitra-Kuala Perlis to and fro = around RM40
Parking lot at Kuala Perlis = RM10(per day) x 2 days = RM20
Ferry to and fro = RM18(one way) x 2 people x 2 times = RM72
Kereta sewa Iswara yang sangat tua = RM50 for 24 hours
Petrol for kereta sewa = RM20
Motel at Pantai Cenang = RM80
Entrance fee to Langkawi Underwater World = RM28(adult with MyKad) x 2 = RM56
T-shirt Langkawi = RM20
Fridge magnet = RM10 for 3
Food, junk food = RM30
Total = RM398.
Round it up =RM400

I don't think you can do something 'more jimat' than that. Unless u cut the trip to Langkawi Underwater Worlds, and don't buy any souvenir at all and makan twisties je. But then, macam tak holiday langsung lah? Coz tak do any sightseeing, tak beli pape souvenir and tak makan anything heavy. Huhu.


Langkawi Underwater World wasn't that great. I had greater expectations. But being a biologist,saya excited lah jugak tengok semua haiwan-haiwan laut :)

Lunch first day - nasi lemak bungkus from Jitra

 Hubby & Fish

 Hubby & Seal

Hubby membuat budget - our only junk food : MR Potato!

RM80 motel, facing Cenang Beach

The famous Lang statue - walking distance from the Jetty

Kereta sewa yang agak usang tapi alhamdulillah ok lagi :)

Shopping tak murah mana pun, walaupun duty-free. Kedai-kedai dia kalau yang duty-free lebih kurang macam kedai-kedai duty-free di mana-mana international airport. Tapi kitorang tak sempat pergi mana-mana mall yang besar pun. Jadi, mungkin ada lagi tempat-tempat murah yang kami tak pergi. 

Banyak historical sites to visit. Kalau nak pergi banyak tempat, sehari setengah memang tak cukup. Mungkin perlukan 3 hari. Kami tak pergi satu pun, just nak pergi berehat je taknak rush around :)

Pergi cari chalet sendiri and kereta sewa sendiri. You can get better deals. Sebab dekat Jetty, ada orang akan offer macam-macam pakej dan diorang punya taktik adalah by saying 'nanti kat sana takut dah penuh motel and kereta sewa dah habis terutamanya kalau musim cuti sekolah and weekends.'

Underwater world not bad, tapi bahagian yang betul-betul rasa macam bawah air tu pendek je sebenarnya.

Bawak makanan daripada rumah lagi bagus :) untuk first day jelah. Bawak maggi pun bagus.

People love to ask whether or not you've been to Langkawi. Macam wajiblah Langkawi ni dilawati sebagai seorang rakyat Malaysia. The next time people talk about Langkawi, I can finally say 'dah pegi dah :)'. Yeay.

Feel free to share your very own experience in Langkawi. Would love to here all about it.

Till then! :)
