These are the pictures taken on our Langkawi vacation.  We hope we were able to capture some of the beauty of the island for you in these few photographs.  Some images can be clicked for a larger image.  Let's enjoy Langkawi.

One of the many beautiful beaches Langkawi has to offer.  This one faces Thailand and has very fine white sand. Langkawi is a stone's throw from southern Thailand and the topology bears a strong resemblance to the the islands around Phuket.

One of the two waterfalls we hiked up to see, Durian Falls.  This one was not diverted and had a nice flow and swimming holes at the bottom, which people were enjoying. And another bonus, no durians to be seen (or smelled)!

Here's a better photograph of our monkey friend.  He was kind enough to pose for us. Wild monkeys are a common site in Southeast Asia, even in Singapore. I once saw one sitting on the fence near the bus stop opposite my office building. It was a surprise, considering I don't exactly work in a rural area, but I guess if there's easy food around, monkeys are not too shy about hanging around to get it. They aren't friendly though, and pose more of a hazard than a novelty.

Seven Pools waterfall is not too spectacular due to water diversion at the top.  Nonetheless, it's still quite nice. It's quite a long hike to the top though and the trail is very steep. So if you go on a day when it hasn't rained in a while, you may be in for a double disappointment.

Local fishing boats moored at sunset at Black Sand beach.  Are sunsets always so lovely in Langkawi? They are if you have Adobe Photoshop to inspire you!

Another portion of Durian Falls.  It took us a while to hike up to this site, but it was worth it. In fact, I think Langkawi is much like Kauai or any other island which isn't overdeveloped; you have to hike to see the best parts.
